what a useless strike. I hope these people had better things to do

@scratchneck That strike is a huge moment in modern American history. Read a book

@IUEC38 I don't care what it was; It was useless, end of the story.

@scratchneck You not caring is neither surprising, nor relevant. However, it is not possible for a big moment in any part of history to be useless. If you don't like watching videos about labor history, go look up some Reagan speeches, speaking of useless...

@IUEC38 I liked this video a lot. In my opinion, however, strike action was not the best solution in this case. I meant that the strike in itself was unjustified, the impact it had on modern American history was certainly meaningful.
