You're right, the media is partly to blame for neglecting to portray the effects on poor families. <BR/><BR/>I just found out my friend has the flu. During a normal week, fine, call out.

I bet many of them do not want to strike, especially considering that they are being docked two days pay for every day on strike. But the Union and that fuckwit Toussaint can bite my dick.
