Equality. Equality leads to union strikes. Striking unions leads to annoyance and in some cases major issues. Last week in Norway the cleaning union went on strike so many offices, shopping centers and public building are not be cleaned. This includes the dishwashers at Statoil's cafeteria so now the cafeteria is closed since they don't have any dishes. The "goods terminal" workers are also on strike which effects imports of mostly mail and packages but also alcohol.
Tomorrow another 30,000 are expected to strike in the fields of education, police, public administration and prisons. In Trondheim 48 schools have been called in by the union to strike including many daycare centers which means a lot of people won't be going to work tomorrow since they can't send their kids to school. Major groups of the police will also be on strike and my favorite - prisons will strike....the local paper says that a prison in Bergen will have to let inmates free if the strike is not resolved quickly.

Wow; letting inmates free?! That's pretty incredible. I can only imagine what would happen if that was even mentioned here in the US. What is the strike status now??
