Strike are a necessity

But some people overuse it (I'm french, I would know - looking at you SNCF).

However, this is not the case here
The demandes are very fair, studios execs are just greedy assholes

I'm in Portugal and it seems the teachers/school staff are always striking on Monday or Friday when we have a holiday on Tuesday or Thursday. Timing seems suspect to me lol

You're actually hinting at something that's positive: a Fri/Mon stroke is less disruptive than, say, a Tuesday strike. It gives the parents the ability to take the day (and have a long weekend) with their kids.

I think it's generous of that union! If they wanted to fuck things up, they would strike Tu-Wed every week. That would greatly disrupt everyone, including the economy.

Lol, I don't have a day-off tree in my garden, so nah

Normally I'd agree and would love an opportunity for a 4-day weekend getaway (we live on an island so getting away as often as possible is key!) but we never find out til the day of when a strike is happening so only teachers/staff get the long weekend! I support them and want them to get all their demands because no one has enough money in Portugal but show some solidarity with parents so we can plan too 😂
