[QUOTE="Simeon_Strangelight, post: 1200326, member: 6783"] I would agree with Debeguilded on that even if some unions do to too far - there were French unions which kidnapped and physically attacked managers: [img]http://scd.france24.com/en/files/imagecache/france24_large_652_338/article/image/air%20france-violence.jpg[/img] But those guys were communist psychos who later got blacklisted for life.

And keep in mind one thing - in Poland the unions were the ones which fought the communist regime which is odd since the Communists are supposed to be the friends of the workers, while this time the workers opposed the dictatorial shitheads. It's the same concept in the US which has no poor people - just inconvenienced rich people.
