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.
Nation wide strike goes brrr on Wednesday. I hope it snowballs further from there on.
Also, fuck people that are saying strikes and unions are outdated.
Idiots have forgotten that every freedom they currently enjoy was bled for by strikers and unions.
can’t forget if you’ve never been taught about it 🧠👈
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.
