Of course, you could also go all out and do the 'General Strike' and
demand political reform and in some cases real social change, from it.
This depends on if there is high enough political conciousness amongst
workers. Something tells me that the bush/blair war has caused a
raising of political awareness amongst people which has not been seen
since the late 60's.

The best game I have seen this modelled is 'Victoria' by paradox;
don't give you workers what they need, or tax them too much, they gain
militancy and conciousness and if it gets to bad, hey, you just
converted to a Communist State.
