    Strikes are a good thing. They ensure the people doing the work also benefit from the work. In this case they are asking for bonuses for the extra work associated with the Olympics. With the amount of money that changes hands around the Olympics this is probably a small amount.

      Worth also pointing out that these bonuses are being given to other government employees, namely the police, but not the workers making the medals. The workers are only asking to be compensated in line with others.
