Which only raises the question, why doesn't the US? Working conditions must be so fantastic here that no-one feels the need to strike.

It can't be that companies have crippled unions so that they can treat wage and working conditions as a one-sided negotiation. Surely not...

How come it doesn't raise the question of "why doesn't Canada?"
1) They do, 2) they have more worker-friendly laws
Like the f*cking rail service in France, where they've been striking 2 days every three day, to protect outdated privileges and political relevance.
Damn right we do. And it's why we don't live in a capitalist dystopia.
