They expect one million public workers to strike in the UK on June 30th – and, as I pointed out to a union group at Netroots Nation, not only is the U.S. not seeing any planned actions in solidarity, I’ve barely heard a whisper here. Why?
UK June 30th strike
If you have a job, you want to keep it, AND have no time for street protest. If you don’t have a job and need one, you are afraid that you will be arrested and don’t have the money to deal with those legal issues, or even blacklisted AND/OR most people don’t know enough about the economy and politics to give a rat’s ass about it, let alone figure out the reasons that we need to rise up in protest!
I know I am afraid of the police state we now live in (with good reason from my past experience with it – I’m convinced there is a big fat dossier on me somewhere!)

“makin the nut”.
Let me be more specific: Why aren’t U.S. unions planning any actions to support theirs?
We believe too much in the electoral strategy which is a sham – 2 capitalist parties are presented as “choices”.
