Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I looked it up. These were anti-union laws. I think about how quickly the French can strike, but remember that it's four to five giant labor unions that always call for them to happen. We're in dire straits here in the U.S!
Sign a strike card??? https://www.generalstrikeus.com/
Not only that but keep getting more people active!! Also keep using Session, XMPP, Signal/Molly, Matrix/Element, Stoat, and Piefed to get coordinated and organize people!! Getting people to mobilize and organize other people as well. The more of us doing the stronger we all are!!
I think that the elites in France learned that it was much better to let the people strike than the alternative.
Strike and protests are the compromises that everyone agreed too.
Really? Did something happen there, during a time of upheaval? I wonder what that could have been.
How would the act effect how strikes are organized? The government is not involved no?
By outlawing solidarity strikes, and several other kinds of strikes. It's difficult to organise a general strike because almost every general strike is illegal.
