Instead of suffering in silence, thousands are choosing to stand up, speak out, strike back - and even walk out. There are labour disputes and strikes taking place all around the globe, as people fight for their rights.

Don't miss the chat Bored Panda had with Kshama Sawant. She's a politician, an economist, a socialist, an author, and a former Seattle City Council member.
