We used to have loads of strikes in the 70s and early 80s. With a too left wing government the unions got out of hand.
Unfortunately, in my country that's the rule today. Everyone strikes for a few months a year. Every year. All scattered over the year.

But today we rarely have country wide strikes
We still have them frequently. Every year. And every union strikes at least once a year. Not much gets done.

Same here. I think the worst part is that most of the major companies transferred their head offices and primary listings on stock exchanges out of the country. We have more than double the amount of welfare recipiant families than the number of actual tax payres (this includes individual tax payers as well as companies; all taxpayers). The system is not sustainable.
Less tax to be obtained by the Government to pay for their ridiculously high welfare bills.
India is a big winner because of it.
