Truckers Can Really Shut Down the Economy?

Truckers are a vital bit of the logistical system, certainly in north america. We know whether they can real shut down the economy, that's some, i think, perhaps putting it too strongly, but they can certainly put on the show. In an economy that's organized around coal, if you get a combination of miners, railway workers and dock workerswhat one in british labor history is called the triple alliance, to come out on strike really does paralyze not just the economy, but all of society. That's what the syndicalist, so the Syndicalist being the kind socialists who believe in organizing the economy around direct workers control was always their fantasy.
