There are those who support the strike against pension reform
What if a minister’s job is to get up every day at 2 am and carry 50 kg of flour on one shoulder?
I think the pension reform will be abandoned immediately.
For important things, we are raising wages! No time at work! #Strike19January pic.twitter.com/hOZS5ALMG7
