      Taft-Harley act made general strikes illegal, among basically any strike not directly related to your specific employer. Violates union contracts.

        All strikes were originally illegal. Ultimately that wont stop us.

        So it’s illegal? Who cares? Do it anyway. What are they going to do, arrest millions of people? Fire all of them? I don’t think so.

        Violates union contracts? Unions exist to enable these things, not to stop them. What is the fucking point otherwise?!

        I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Of course the government would love to stop people from protesting/striking/whatever. The whole point is to not let them. Use your numbers against them, together you’re strong, that’s what they’re trying to stop. If striking didn’t work, they wouldn’t have to outlaw it!

        Yeah. The only “correct” one is the one where you steal the whole continent’s name for yourselves, right?

          The continent is North America.

          The correct one is the one the entire world uses when speaking English.

              No. They’re part of the continent of North America, dumbass.

              America (without the North qualifier) refers to the country and has since before Canada and Mexico existed as countries. Canadians and Mexicans don’t call themselves Americans. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that a pretty good way to piss a lot of Canadians and probably Mexicans off is to call them Americans. Stop acting like you don’t know this shit.

              Edit: Notice how nobody has a good argument against what I’m saying? Y’all really hate when anyone questions your stupid bullshit.

      USians voted to change the government. We’ll see in two weeks what Spaniards will do in their elections. This strike is mostly meaningless.
