I don't know which strike this refers to, but it sounds credible. Supporting strikes and even politicians resigning isn't all that uncommon, although a single strike would not be the only reason.
At the same time, we have the second highest unemployment rate in Europe and 15 years of economic stagnation.
This shouldn't be taken as an anti-union or anti-worker stance though. The problem is that countries with good worker rights, strong social security and regulation need to compete against countries that don't, putting them at a disadvantage.
I wouldn't mind the Finnish system everywhere, even if it meant much reduced growth globally.
I assume it's this one based on the '700' figure for postal workers.

And agreed. Economic growth should never be the goal but rather to provide and care for people.
Wont somebody think about the shareholders?
That's the one.
