What I cannot understand is how politicians think they can just "order" people back to work.
Bro, nobody *has* to go back to work, no matter how stern you act. Sure, you can fire *all of them*, but then you have the same problem you had before: nobody to make you your money for you.
The only response a union should make when "ordered" back to work is "fuck off and die" followed by "make me".
