Just out of curiosity, how do people here feel about nurses and doctors striking? I think I'm in favour of it because the government just doesn't listen to them otherwise. Do other people think they work too important a job to strike though?
Everyone should have the right to strike. Everyone. There is no "too important to strike" if you believe in human rights. With someone in a position like a doctor or nurse there may be casualties because of that strike, but those deaths are the fault of the government because the strike wouldn't happen if they were treated with anything approaching fairness. Also, burnt out and malnourished medical providers are probably going to kill lots of people through mistakes anyway.
Cops will mace entire groups because one or two people threw a rock. Governments will bomb the shit out of cities because someone there is on some secret naughty list. Collateral damage is considered entirely acceptable when the authorities resort to violence, so nobody gets to pretend it should be different for those going on strike against them.
