Strikes, boycotts never work.

That's certainly not true.

Occupy is upping the ante and calling for a general strike on November 2. Last one was in 1946. Will this also be "peaceful"??

I don't know if it will be "peaceful" but I doubt it will be "successful."

Of course it won't be. You'd need a significantly larger movement for a general strike to be felt at all.

Strikes only work for 1 Reason. Strike Pay.

I need my money, Can't afford to take a day off, so some Punk kids can have free College and 20 Dollars an Hour Guaranteed at the expense of my Retirement funds performance.

Another nutter who can't afford a day off.

What a fucking American shame.

That's certainly not true.

Vast majorities never agree. Some on local levels though.

There were semi-successful general strikes in the 50s. Aside from that, you're absolutely right though.

Willow..............oh Willow!? Why would you disable PM's.............and then hand out negative rep? What are you............a pussy wearing glasses and a hat?

They don't want to work and are wondering why others have money? i dont get these people sometimes.

 

[Dr Grump]

Sorry I have to pay the bills, can't afford the day off of work to protest against people who create wealth (and provide me the opportunity to get a job with compensation based on my value to said job).

If only that's what they were protesting against....

 

[Zander]

The question is, will they bring porta-potties and toilet paper? Or continue their feculant flea bagger ways?

People who don't/will not work go on strike...how will we know?

 

[Harry Dresden]

So, all the Union workers will be having the day off sick. Got it.

not me....ill be working.....

 

[Harry Dresden]

No one will notice. After all, the shitters don't work anyway.

remember when all the illegals went on strike for a day?

that was great out here......the freeways were empty.....i wish they would do that more often....

 

[Liability]

Application denied.

Stupid fuckwits.

 

[candycorn]

They should get real creative and pick a day during the year when they all go to work.

Be nice! But that was damn funny.

 

[candycorn]

I'm amazed that so many here seem to be offended by this group. Offended is probably too strong a word.

If you can't afford a day off.....I think you might want to join them.

Why do you say that? I'm being compensated for the level of work I perform. If I want more compensation I can either work harder to earn a raise/bonus or I can work harder by getting a 2nd job.

I don't need the govt to take it from other people who worked hard to give it to me, I'd rather earn my way instead of steal it from rich people.
