Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down in that chair over there. Take off your shoes, please. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We also have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), and there’s a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at #internationale:genzedong.org.
What’s the public attitude towards strikes over there? Do they have broad support?
Over 3 million people (1/4 of the country and 62% of the working pop.) are union members. The unions call for a big strike.
I think a lot of people will strike but it is a bit unclear what exactly we are supposed to do on Wednesday. There’s not that much information coming from the unions. But I think they can rally a good amount of people.
