rafalski,
How "good" can an economy be when it doesn't serve the interests of the majority of the people who must abide by its laws?
You make it seem like bosses are doing us a favor by hiring us in the first place, yet their status as boss is only possible by first appropriating the wealth WE create (there isn't enough room in this tiny window to discussion the dynamics of the market and/or private-ownership of social production).
Strikes are sabotages only insofar as you believe that bosses should have unchecked power and that workers (again, a majority of people) should simply abide by their decisions.
I'm not so sure high rates of unemployment necessarily "makes" people want increased job security, but certainly unemployment coerces workers to exert themselves harder simply to protect their precarious job status. How, then, is this not extortion on the part of business owners to take advantage of this condition?
