Colombia: General, Strike

So far, police and army brutality has not gone beyond the usual. That's a plus. But it is a country wide strike of persons in varied sectors of the economy with little communication or considered cooperation yet.

The strikers all have very good reasons and call to strike. Among the various major causes for the strike is the way small set of oligarchic power wielders in Colombia relate to and collude with a set powerful among US power wielder's.

That is US citizens may see the strike as an example of their tax dollars at work.

People Power: one

The act of workers uniting for mutual aid was feared and vilified by ruling classes. Workers used the power of unity to motivate rulers to more fairly share with workers the fruits of the labor of workers.

Jobs

Jobs are a response to demand.
Demand originates in the great base of workers, citizens, earners.
Money in the hands of that great base translate immediately to demand.
That demand leads to jobs.

"Orgnized Labor"

We aren't against organizing.

Still, we aren't that much into labor. We aren't against work, but labor doesn't sound that inviting.

"Organized workers" might be okay, but I have an old uncle who might say "stinking Communists."

"Workers" isn't that much of a turn on either.

Maybe, "organized citizens." Citizens sounds better, but seems a bit broad. 

"Knights of Labor" was kind of sexy, but seems a bit dated

What's in a name?
