.@ffdxssadfc Actually I wasn’t asked to give *recent* examples of strikes that harmed those who took part. That would have been hard, because there have been so few since the collapse of major unionised industries after 1980. In several cases, strikes contributed to the collapse. — PolitiTweet.org

2.2 .@trevormfisher The idea that striking is the only effective route to better pay is fatuous and baseless. I have, as it happens, supported many strikes, particularly Joe Gormley's 1972 coal strike and Lech Walesa's 1980 shipyard strike against the Polish state. — PolitiTweet.org
