One thing I haven't heard tonight: General strike

Is it even being considered? If not, why?

4. Union workforce in the US isn't big enough.

It would require non union workers to join and risk job loss.

That's right, DUmmies: you don't have the numbers any more. People are fed up with union thuggery.

6. Maybe not, but we have a lot of unemployed right now too. They have nothing to lose. nt

So, what happens when people go on strike? They refuse to go to work.

What happens when an unemployed person refuses to go to work?

It's like the sound of one hand clapping, man.

Damn, but DUmmies are stupid....

It would be interesting if teachers, police, fire, utilities, and garbage all went on strike. Especially if they surround the governor's location and put him to work.

It is illegal for some of those unions to strike.

No need. After they are fired they will have no reason to strike.

Plenty of people standing in line for those cop jobs.

Might want to loosen the qualifications, though. Physical fitness, education, ..... felony convictions and the like.

Never applied for one have you? Just like the teaching and fire fighter jobs there is a long line of qualified applicants to fill those positions.
