“Om economische activiteit te blokkeren, moet je mobiliteit blokkeren”: ABVV dreigt met onmiddellijke staking bij nieuwe veroordeling van afgevaardigde

1. Your thoughts?

   To me it seems strange that union reps should be able to break laws (blocking intersections as an example) in order to have a strike. Obviously, I’m against this guy’s proposal, even if I support his right to strike.

2. Perpetrators of crime must be punished.
   According to the Constitution, everyone is equal so there is no exception for the syndicated.
   Secondly, to strike is to stop working, not to disturb public order.

3. So this guy is ok with people dying because of union strikes? Cause that happened.

4. If people are sufficiently unhappy they will show up by the (tens of) thousands which will naturally disturb traffic. Doing it intentionally might trigger someone (again) to drive into them either by accident or on purpose. He should be more concerned about that.

5. As always ABVV only cares about its own members whilst pretending to support “the working classes”

6. There’s a difference between “striking workers block gate to factory” and “striking workers block major highway”.

   I’m a lot more OK with one than the other.
