Secessio is a great start to a proud history of workers fighting for their rights, but history tends to clean up the details.

I always wonder how many scabs stayed back in Rome.

Just little reminders that fighting for our rights has always been possible, even if there may be... rather large differences in goals and motives over a vast gulf of time and culture.
