Many strikes don’t directly affect government services, so I don’t understand your point.

In this case, the EFF striking would help "ICE's reign of terror", by removing a watchdog.

It calls for no work, school or shopping, not for them to stay home and close their eyes.

I thought that the EFF’s ‘work’ was to ‘open people’s eyes’ by highlighting important concerns.

Put another way: should television and newspaper reporters not work, and avoid covering any of the protests?
