Something Striking

The last entry on strikes made me think suddenly about how they happen in Japan. From what I understand, and this could be a little upside down, strikers wear armbands to let us all know that they are striking. But here's the kicker, they keep on working. Their armbands: bright yellow plastic with angry black kanji at the post office. Each one lets us all know how defiant they are. Not only are they functional, they are a somewhat interesting fashion statement.

I wonder what the success rate is.
