15. We need to go on a selective purchasing strike every day until the war ends.

Call General Electric and tell them you will not buy their consumer products with a GE logo until Bush ends the war and resigns with Cheney.

11. STRIKE DISRUPTS FRENCH TRANSPORT

Workers in France have begun a strike which has severely disrupted the country's transport system, especially the railway network.

The 24-hour strike began on Wednesday at 2000 local time (1800 GMT).

Trade unions called the strike in protest against the reform of special pension schemes enjoyed by a minority of state sector workers.

In the past, transport strikes have caused massive disruption and put pressure on political leaders.

Soon after the strike started the national railway company SNCF reported many cancellations of its high-speed TGV trains, out of which only about 7% are expected to be in normal service.

Eurostar cross-channel trains will also be affected, but SNCF said only five trains would be suspended between Paris and London.

14. MALLOY: "If every truck driver went on strike for just one day. . ."

Airline pilots? Railroad engineers?

[liberal renegade]

21. re railroaders can't strike

if we could we'd bring things to a screeching halt, very quickly.

[YareweinIraq]

26. Sure You Can Strike!

Why can't you strike? It is simple, you walk off the job for a day, or you do not show up. If you are worried about not being paid for a missed day of work, think about the people who are getting torn to pieces in Iraq for a lie!

In the article, election day was chosen kind of at random . . .
