If you’re following someone else’s strike in another industry in a foreign country, I find it’s always nice to get the juicy details. Negotiation points and arbitration be damned, pay rates and award schedules aren’t the stuff of which solidarity is made; I want to hear about—as journalists say—the personal interest.
