    Booo

    Workers ought to strike against Samsung AND the government then. Fair pay or let it collapse.

    Of the Korean government is going to order anyone to do anything, it should be ordering Samsung corporation to settle bargaining before a strike happens.

    Just who do they think they represent - the workers or the corps?

    Can you imagine the power the workers would have if they did the same thing in the US. Still can’t believe how pathetic the mayday strike was…

      may day this year was a day of protests. some groups protested trump, some ICE, another climate change. one was on wallstreet that focussed on economic equality, maybe the other newyork one did too but my main point is that there was no focus on any one issue.

      all protests are valid but mayday was supposed to focus on workers’ rights.

      also it has to be longer than a day.

      Yeah 1 day does jackshit. Fucking government and billionaires didn’t even feel a dip in their stocks much less notice the protest.

      Until we can get together and shut down this country until demands are met nothing will change. But we are to pulled apart to ever do that.

      And way I see it by time we get to that point going be to late to make a difference.
