    This isn’t just people standing up for themselves. This is governments protecting people.

        It would be quite unfortunate if the sympathetically striking workers all “got sick” at the same time the Swedish government told them their strike was “illegal”, wouldn’t it?

            No I didn’t. I’m praising governments willing to stand of for their people. I’m responding to someone else that said the government works for the people and I said that’s not how the US works. Governments don’t always work for the people, sometimes they bend the knee for corporations.
