I've got to say, shutting down the courts during the JUSUN strike is one of those things that feels like it's helping the workers, but it honestly messes things up for everyone who needs justice right now. Imagine you’ve got a big court date, maybe for something super important like getting bail or fighting for your rights, and then suddenly—it’s all on pause because the whole place is locked up!

People end up waiting forever, and justice that’s delayed is kinda like justice denied, right? The workers definitely deserve better pay—no arguments there—but the regular people, especially those waiting or stuck in jail, they get seriously hurt by all this. I remember when my cousin’s friend had to wait months for her hearing during a different strike, and she said it just felt like nobody cared about her case anymore.

So, yeah, these strikes get attention, but at the same time, they make people lose trust in the whole system, like it doesn’t care about them unless they’re important. I just wish there was a way for both workers and citizens to get a fair deal without everything always having to break down first. The whole thing just feels messy.
