You mean violence? This is one of the reasons many people don't like unions.
- unapologetic 7y agoYes, I do mean violence. Employers have also heavily utilized violence. Then they turned to the law and misinformation. Violence is a last resort.
- friendlybus 7y agoAdvocating for violence is the one thing you can't do with free speech in the West. Everybody apologizes for that.
- unapologetic 7y agoIncorrect. Advocating for direct violent action is illegal. Indirectly, saying that violence can be justifiable depending on circumstance, etc... all legal.
- friendlybus 7y agoYou supported your statement that scabs should be physically stopped by advocating for violence. I don't see how you get out of this.
- wang_li 7y ago> Employers have also heavily utilized violence. According to Wikipedia (not definitive I know) anti-union violence ended in the 1950s. Justifying current day violence with cites to events 70 years ago is absurd.
