There will not be food for people to eat. I don't think that is what this strike is about and shame on you for calling them scabs.

Seventy percent of people polled this week think the sporadic strikes will build into a national protest movement like the one in 1995, and over half said they would support it.

I understand what is going on and why and no, there is not an all out strike.
