    Honestly I didn’t get this memo that we were striking in my city.

    The Europeans have it right. Americans only strike when it’s convenient.

      You’ve got it now, and the day isn’t over yet.

      They also tried to organize it with like 12 minutes of notice.

      I get that it’s urgent, but if you don’t give people time to even get groceries ahead of time, you can’t really have a large-scale strike lasting longer than an afternoon.

        You all are missing the point. The Govt has systematically dismantled our labor unions, and labor unions typically call for strikes. It’s not about convenience: It’s about the ability to organize and the guarantee of a number of people participating.
