#1 Strike or no strike, they do about the same amount of work. Actually, marching around carrying protest signs would probably result in a net increase in Paleo GDP, since somebody has to make the signs.

#2 This is a clear indication the monetary squeeze play is working. Now we will see if the Diploweenies have the intestinal fortitude to see it come to fruition. Predictably there will be some manufactured public seethe-fests blaming all the usual suspects. Accompanied by the shrill denunciations from the typical hand wringers and teeth-gnashers. The internal brawls will assuredly increase consumption of Orville Redenbacher's finest maze. However, they must be willing to accept that as a result, portions of a culture spoon-fed on violence and collective guilt will inevitably lash out past their borders. But in the end, even a delinquent child accepts the wisdom of an allowance withheld for misbehavior. Of course, thats provided the parents recognize that capitulation will only ensure continued misconduct.

#5 Civil servants will stage a two-hour walkout from 8:00 am to 10:00 am (0500 GMT to 0700 GMT) to protest against the non-payment of cheques since March.

For two hours said civil servants will not pretend to work. After 10:00 am the pretend work is back on again.
