    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!
