I think we should judge the event on what happened, and not on how the astronauts tried to paint it when they came back. It's understandable that US. astronauts in the 70´s would distance themselves as much as possible from any connections to the labor movement. But while they might not have thought of it as a labor action when they were up there, they -did- negotiate better working terms. What they called their actions is not important. The important thing is the lesson that the ones doing work should have a say in the organisation of their work, both for their sake and the sake of the quality of their efforts.
