A thing, in a village in Punjab. Not perfect, but it's a thing.

So going fully on strike when a new, cheaper competitor has just started might not really support their aim of job security.

They do things differently in Japan.

Quote:
As a result, Ryobi drivers are feeling threatened and are asking management for improvements to their job security under the added competition. It would seem Ryobi was less than enthusiastic to accommodate and a strike was declared.
So maybe, maybe not. The technique comes from Cleveland though, so a large proportion of the origins likely involves a lot of "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, BUDDY".

Can we call it cultural appropriation?
