    Holy shit…this has the potential to be worse than the rail workers strike.

    Please oh please strike. We need to keep reminding the capital class that strikes are the compromise for the guillotine.

      Hear fucking hear. Now we just have to hope that congress and the president don’t kill this before it gets off the ground like they did with the rail workers strike…

        Exactly my worry as well!

        Since Reagan pulled that dark-magic “You’re too important to strike” bullshittery with the air traffic controllers, it set a precedent that defying your bosses comes with “terms and conditions.”
