However, the workers wouldnt except this so they went on strike, but Flick just merely fired them with now worries. But when things got out of hand and the whole factory union went on strike then flick broke a sweat. He was forced to call in strike breakers to restore peace and obideance in the factory, but the strike breakers had no choice but to kill many factory workers. The factory later opened and was garded by state troops. The govenment always takes the side of the big business because the big business helps the economy.
