Europe’s toiling masses sometimes go on strike, leaving streets unswept and commuters stranded. Chinese expats find this shocking. Though there are stoppages in some factories in China, no one strikes in public services there As an American, I find the public service strikes in Europe pretty disconcerting as well. I don't know if there are major legal differences in the US, but it's much less common here.
