      That workers in the US have a lot more reason to be wary about striking. Hell, just look at the way protestors are being treated in Georgia over Cop City.

      They should still do it, but also it’s more risky than in Europe.

        Also if you lose your job (which is harder to lose in the first place) in the EU, you don’t lose your healthcare.

        Plus a bunch of the ass backwards red states have laws against unions, dystopianly named “right to work” laws.

          Less than 100 years ago. I only tried one search though and found a story about a guy who killed a cop and a utility worker, then gave up.

          Edit: Blair mountain was 1921, so that was just over 100 years ago, but I expect there have been others since.
