@mushi strikes were a big issue in Italy. It didn't affect me too much except when the trash collectors didn't come. Oh that was a smelly month!
-
@pony man, i think all the groups of workers here strike at least once in a year. Except professors/teachers, For them is once each 2 years
-
@mushi It's been forever since I saw a strike in the U.S. They probably happen, but none of them are well known or they don't affect me.
-
@pony i live real close to the capital. people here think they are revolutionary for doing these stuff. wanting to work only 3 days a week after getting a rise of 100% is not exactly reasonable
-
@pony you are luck, only since i started in the college there has been a general strike (professors, technician, cops, bus drivers, subway drivers, trash collectors, doctors and so on) each 2 years. There has not been it in this year yet, but there is a minor strike going on the college right now; at least they didnt close the restaurant this time
-
@mushi but, to make up for that, there have been all those protests last year, and they will happen again in some months (maybe less intense, since policticians want to make protesting a crime as serious as terrorism)
-
@mushi U.S. citizens are known for their willingness to take long hours. 40 hours a week is standard.
-
@pony that is like the standart work time for a standar worker, but they seem to think they are special
