  Strike action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strikes may be specific to a particular workplace, employer, or unit within a workplace, or they may encompass an entire industry, or every worker within a city or country.
Strikes that involve all workers, or a number of large and important groups of workers, in a particular community or region are known as general strikes.
A sympathy strike is, in a way, a small scale version of a general strike in which one group of workers refuses to cross a picket line established by another as a means of supporting the striking workers.

List's release from prison in January 1825 was, de facto, linked to the annulment of his German citizenship: he was only released on condition that he accept exile in the United States.
List emphasizes, time and again, that there is a profound contradiction between Smith's postulates, such as his representation of how the allegedly exemplary and superior British economic system functions, and the reality of the British economy.
List prominently cites the Frenchmen, Charles Dupin (1784-1873), and Jean Antoine Chaptal (1786-1832) as exemplary economists.

 Labor Strikes - Johnson's Russia List 1-29-03
Article 410 of the Russian Labor Code requires that, for a strike to be legal, two-thirds of an enterprise's employees must meet, and half of those present must vote in favor of a strike.
Since strikes involving "budget" workers represent an attempt to wrest extra resources from Moscow, they often enjoyed the support and encouragement of management and the local authorities.
Strikes were for the decadent West -- when workers had the bourgeois effrontery to strike in the city of Novocherkassk in 1962 over wage cuts and price increases, the state moved brutally to suppress them with soldiers and tanks, killing at least 20 people.

In fact, Proposition 66 would eliminate six serious violent crimes from the current "strike" list, including residential burglary, attempted burglary, criminal threats, felony gang crimes and felonies in which great bodily injury is inflicted, such as drunken driving.
It would also remove assault with intent to commit rape of an elderly or disabled person causing great bodily injury from the juvenile "strike" list.

 Fixing California's three strikes law | The San Diego Union-Tribune
This measure brings the three strikes law into line with what the voters originally intended when they voted for "Three Strikes and You're Out" a decade ago: keeping repeat violent offenders off the streets and out of our neighborhoods.
Proposition 66 reforms California's three strikes sentencing law to require that the third strike – carrying a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life – be a violent or serious felony.
Proposition 66 also requires "strikes" to result from separate trials, to ensure that the law applies to repeat offenders as originally intended.

 Pasco: List of stores strikes sour chord
Music store owners question the validity of a ranking list given to parents of students around the county.
Handing a parent a list of stores that have been ranked is akin to endorsing the shops with the best marks, said Marcia Jones, who owns the Happy Tunes music store in Land O'Lakes.
The owners of Encore Music in Port Richey were surprised to see their store listed among those that had been inspected by the school district.

 Bill would let some 'Three Strikes' convicts seek release after 15 years
But some Class B or C felonies are also strikes, including second-degree assault and, the most common strike offense by far, second-degree robbery.
Russ Hauge, president of the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, said taking second-degree robbery off the list of strike offenses "goes too far away from the intent" of the Three Strikes initiative, passed by Washington voters in 1993.
She said many second-degree robberies are fueled by drug or alcohol addictions: people who are under the influence at the time or are desperate for money to feed their habit and aren't out to hurt anyone.

 WVA News: 'Three Strikes' Law Questioned by California Voters - - The Intelligencer/Wheeling News-Register
The three-strikes law gets its name because felons can get 25-years-to-life sentences on their third conviction, provided the first two strikes were serious or violent felonies.
Second, Proposition 66 would make eligible for resentencing any inmate serving life if their third strike is not "serious or violent." Judges would reassess whether a felon is serving an unjustifiably long term.
The proposition also shortens the list of strikes by deleting felonies including criminal threats and burglary of an unoccupied residence.

Eoin Colfer's The Wish List is a bitter yet rip-roaringly funny tale of two wayward teenagers on the road to hell--literally.
If she fails on her mission to help Lowrie McCall work his way through his Wish List before he dies, then she too will be heading south to join the boy-band members, the mime artists, Belch and the world's computer boffins in fiery damnation...
Hopelessly hopeful, immorally moral, rattling with the pain of its anti-heroine as she faces her own demons, and rib-crackingly, laugh-out-loud funny, The Wish List strikes an almost perfect balance between good, old-fashioned scruples and thoroughly modern irreverence in what is ultimately, and most importantly, a darn good read.
