How Danes Go on Strike... Danish Health Care on a Hold

Translated from the Danish, the placard leaning against the three-wheeled bike states, "We Support Those Who Better Our Welfare." This is from the Frederiksberg Town Hall (a suburb of Copenhagen), where negotiations between the Danish nurses & public health care union and the government are continuing... as of May 16, 2008. For a short article on the subject, with a perspective that reflects back on current American politics, please go to Strike! This short and unedited clip peeks at the unique Danish way of going on strike, especially when women take the lead. Once this strike is behind us, I will edit this and other clips, including an exclusive interview with the union's chairperson, into a more palatable video.

Thanks for the comment, Leah.
Sometimes Danes could learn from other corners of the world... buyt we do a good job celebrating all sorts of things.
We've make some damn good beer too.
Since I don't drink that much, one Carlsberg Elephant and slice of Jarlsberg on smørbrød will instantly make me quite happy...
