In Bolivia, the unions representing miners and peasants have declared an indefinite strike, seeking the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz. They are protesting a new law that undermines peasant and indigenous land rights.

      Americans dont even know what a general strike is much less how to organize one.

      My public school education glossed over unions and I’ve met incredibly few people who are a member and even fewer who support them.

      No, I didn’t mistype. I have met union members who don’t support unionization and just complain about the dues they pay. I don’t blame them (yes I do) so much as feel pissed off for them even if they wouldn’t understand why.
