I mean, yeah, organising a strike is kinda what a union does.

Why do they feel they need to strike, Luxon?

Blaming the victims huh? Cool. Let us know when you get some new material. In the mean time, back to the picket line.

Allowing people access to food, water and air, is responsible in the same way. Sometimes living people need things, and organize themselves to obtain those things.
