    Posting this here too: OK, so if I understand correctly…

    They didn’t vote to improve working conditions for those workers

    They didn’t vote to increase pay for those workers

    They didn’t vote on any of the demands the workers had

    They voted to make it illegal for them to strike?

    Am I getting this right?

        So… We can drop the illusion that the US has freedom of expression and freedom of assembly right? Because a group of peaceful protesters (a strike is as peaceful as they get, the whole point is literally inaction as a form of protest) just got forcibly shut down by the government.

          Yup, US is police state in full meaning of the word, and were for decades actually, but they produce so much copaganda that even their own citizens get fooled, not to mention foreigners.
