So does Wall Street. So do the courts and other civic entities. A few years ago several million workers in Italy stopped work on a Wednesday to demonstrate their opposition to a government plan to reduce retirement benefits. That's the kind of action workers get when they withhold their labor. When we demonstrate on weekends, participants are generally off those days anyway.
Little labor is withheld.
The impact is greatly lessened. No Boeing, or Ford, Firestone, General Motors, General Electric, Maersk, etc., workers would be at the wheels of production. School teachers, road crews, telephone workers, super market and department store and city clerks, bus drivers, etc. Oh, we'd get some respect. And we'd get some action.
