"In 1988, a strike by Air Nauru pilots for better pay and safety conditions took place" - from your book.
"I was one of the non-strikers and never regretted it."
And if the pilots on strike had returned to Nauru "the problem could have been solved to the satisfaction on both sides"
Is it then the case that you'd have benefited from the improved pay and conditions without having supported those trying to better things?
"I left for a better job a few months later" Why?
