- FirmwareBurner 3y agoExpressing solidarity is the equivalent of sending "likes" or thoughts and prayers on social media.
- coince 3y agoAbove atricle would prove otherwise.
- vincnetas 3y agoNope, it called solidarity strike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity_action https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity_action

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoYou forgot to mention Schröder's famous Agenda 2010[1] which defanged German unions and they didn't fight back: "There were no strikes against Agenda 2010 as the German constitution prohibits politically motivated strikes, but some demonstrations at least were organized and supported by the unions."

- kristofferR 3y agoAgenda 2010 sound like something Putin would fund to weaken Germany. (for those who don't know, Schröder were a Putin stooge): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Schr%C3%B6der https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Schr%C3%B6der

It's an agenda the big German industry players pushed since that made workers and unions weaker while making German industry more competitive worldwide and Germany as a country richer. This serves as an important reminder for the distinction between national wealth and individual wealth, which are not always directly proportional. You can easily make your country wealthier and your people poorer at the same time, which is exactly what Agenda 2010 did.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoIn UK too, most people dont realise that defending your rights can be a crime and that freedom of association is super limited
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoDefending yourself against any government is considered a crime.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoThis is defending yourself from corporate abuse
- dark-star 3y agoexcept that it also sends a strong message of "if you try similar crap in our country, we will react in the same way"
