The article reads like propaganda.

[edit]

The article claims that there has always been a "right to strike" - i.e. a "collective right" to not turn up for work and yet not be dismissed. In reality such a "right" is not ancient and is the creation of government legislation, the purpose of it being to, at least for a period of time, improve the wages and conditions of union members at the expense of higher unemployment - see W.H. Hutt "The Strike Threat System". 2A02:C7C:E183:AC00:124:B635:1777:F579 (talk) 18:50, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
