tintinaujapon writes "The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that NCR staff with key responsibility (among other things) for fast food & supermarket chains, banking ATMs, schools and baggage handling at Sydney airport are preparing to walk off the job next week, in industrial action aimed at resolving a pay dispute.

If the only way you have to defend socialism in inaccurate moddings of people who argue against it, maybe you need to rethink your political philosophy?
