        Crazy, 'cause I've got hella liberals trying to tell me that what he did wasn't even a strikebreak! While totally failing to understand that if the original demands weren't ceded to before presidential strikebreak, then the strike wasn't successful! Half-measures, these mfs just want half-measures.

      Are we sure he doesn't actually just mean that he fought in the Civil War for the North or something? It would make a bit more sense, but I'm pretty sure he would've fought for the confederates instead.

    I love it when USA workers strike. They should do that more often.

    The UAW has a $825m strike fund that is set to compensate workers $500 a week while out on strike and could support all of its members for about three months.

    CEOs already trying to figure out if they can avoid negotiations for 4 months upon reading this.
