It took decades of conditioning to make 'strike' a dirty word. Time to reclaim it

Because strikes cause disruptions to services that most people use or rely on.

People don't want to be inconvenienced. They don't care how just or righteous the cause.

But that's not the case with much higher unionization rates. The state and the rich made it so those people would feel contempt for union workers on strike by destroying the unions.

A bunch of the ~~cunts~~ rich people are threatening to leave the UK over paying taxes. They like the nice things that taxes produce but don't want to pay for it. https://moneyweek.com/personal-finance/tax/millionaire-leaving-uk-non-dom-tax-status

Good riddance. Those assholes do not deserve the privilege of living there if they refuse to pay their due.
