Exactly, people forget that striking at all used to be illegal, and the right to strike was won because people did it anyway, illegally.

Forget? I had no idea. You, we have to keep educating people as needed. These seemingly obvious historical facts are anything but obvious, especially to newcomers from different economic systems like the ones from the ex-soc bloc that think the Western world's working class had it better due to the lack of "communism". Or from the ones where labor never commanded a premium of the added value who just believe that this capitalism is magically better than the one they've seen. Or natural born Canadians that don't know why they have the things they have.
