Workers strike back

Capitalists and their governments impose austerity on workers so that the rich capitalists will maintain their profits. Austerity is a combination of cuts in workers’ wages, the destruction of social services and the stealing of natural resources by corporations.

Workers are starting to fight back. Below are reports from some current strikes in strategic industries across the world.
