Not socialism, but solidarity, but there was something on the news this evening that was heart warming....

A guy had a young son that was dying of cancer and he was determined to spend his son's last days at his bedside. He had already used his XX days of vacation to be at his bedside, yet his son hadn't died.

All his co-workers asked the union then management to back them in "cashing in" their holidays to give to the guy so he could be with his son. Union didn't even have to intervene because the company agreed (Badoit, a major international company, like Evian).

He used their holidays and his son died on 31st Dec last year.

The guy was management and was taking vacation handouts from the workers (and being accepted by even more senior management) that were beneath him.

I know this has got absolutely sod all to do with a socialist government, but it's got everything to do with 100% solidarity amongst workers, which a left wing mind tends to flourish.
