Isn't that the whole purpose of a strike? But, I could just imagine if some group like Greenpeace successfully blocked all the oil refineries in this country during the Gulf oil spill. Even if they had the support of a vast majority of Americans, the 10-20% who think gas for their oversized trucks and SUVs is a God given right would throw a big tantrum.
