The Rise of Strikes in the UK and the Lack of Support in the US

This chapter compares the increasing intensity of strikes in the UK with the lack of support for strikes in the US. It discusses the biased press coverage of strikes and addresses the shortsightedness of those who don't understand the need for strikes and the misconception about increasing the minimum wage.
