One person cannot lead a successful strike. Instead, you’ll need all unionized members on board. Begin talking about why you think a strike is necessary. Remember not to talk about striking on your employer’s premises or during work hours.  Begin by talking to other workers you trust. Has someone complained about your wages, benefits, hours, or working conditions? This is someone who thinks like you and probably will help plan a strike. Keep your discussions as secretive as possible. If management gets wind of the strike, they’ll try to divide the union membership. If you’re part of a national union or other overseeing organization, you will need to contact them before you go on strike. The union can give you suggestions and help outline any requirements your strike must meet to have the union’s support. If your agreement has a “no strike” provision, then you can’t strike. Your strike is illegal and your employer can fire you. Take out your collective bargaining agreement and read it.  If you don’t understand the document, retain a labor lawyer. Contact your local or state bar association for a referral. Your national union also probably has legal counsel who can help you understand your rights. Even if you have the right to strike, not all strikes are lawful. For example, you can’t strike to force your company to stop doing business with another company. You also can’t strike to force your employer to do something illegal.  You can strike for economic conditions, such as higher pay, better benefits, shorter hours, and better working conditions.  You can also strike to protest unfair labor practices. Examples in the U.S. include spying on the union, refusing to bargain with the union, or giving wage increases to employees to keep them from joining the union. In the U.S., federal law requires that you provide certain notices to your employer to terminate your collective bargaining agreement. You also need to wait a certain amount of time before you can strike. If you don’t wait, then the strike will be illegal unless you are protesting unfair labor conditions. This is a complicated area of law, so talk to your national union or your lawyer. You don’t want to strike at the wrong time, since your employer might be able to fire you as a result. Each country has its own labor laws, so you should understand what can happen to you if you choose to strike. In the U.S., the consequences will depend on whether you are striking for economic reasons or because of unfair labor practices.  Economic strikers can’t be fired, but your employer can replace you. At the end of the strike, you are not entitled to be hired back. However, you are entitled to be recalled to jobs when there is an opening. Unfair labor practice strikers are entitled to reinstatement at the end of the strike. They may also be awarded back pay. If you want to go ahead with the strike, you’ll need to form committees. These committees will be in contact with each other, but each will have certain well-defined tasks. Consider forming the following committees:  General strike committee. This committee oversees everything and keeps detailed records. Negotiating committee. This committee works directly with management to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. Picketing committee. Members of this committee raise public awareness by coordinating legal picketing. Publicity committee. This committee works directly with the news media and other public officials to spread the word about what you are fighting for. If you have a small workplace, you might combine the picketing and publicity committees. Financial committee. This group will help members support themselves without a paycheck.

Q: If you do end up getting stung, remove the bee stingers as soon as possible to prevent the spread of venom through your system. To remove the stingers quickly, simply scrape the surface of your skin with a credit card or another hard edge. This should remove the stingers without embedding them deeper into your skin. The more that you agitate and swat at killer bees, the more fiercely they will swarm and attack you. When trying to escape killer bees, just try to outrun them, don’t try to kill them. While bees won’t be able to sting you in the water, they will just swarm around the area where you went under and wait for you to resurface. Hiding in the water is not a viable strategy for killer bees. Some people may have an allergy to the stinger venom. If someone exhibits hives, excessive swelling, dizziness, fainting, or trouble breathing, go to the ER immediately. An allergic reaction could be life threatening.
A: Use a credit card to remove the stingers. Don’t kill or swat killer bees. Don’t jump into a body of water. Seek medical attention if you have an adverse reaction to the stings.

Article: Thunderstorms make a good deal of noise. To get to sleep you will either have to ignore the noise or drown it out. One method for the latter is to use earplugs. You can buy these at any pharmacy in a variety of kinds, including foam, cotton, or wax. Following the directions on the box, insert the earplugs into your ear canal. Then lie down and try to sleep.  Earplugs vary in effectiveness. You will want to get a kind that keeps out the loudest noise, which is measured in decibels.  Do not use tissue paper to plug your ears. This seems like a good idea in a pinch and is easy to do. However, there is a danger that the paper will rip and end up lodged in your ear canal. All things considered, it is a bad idea to put household objects inside of your ear. It could be music – classical, ambient music like that of Brian Eno, or even whale songs – provided that the music is at a low volume and has a low dynamic range. You don't want sudden noises to wake you when you’re on the verge of drifting off. It might also be noise from a fan. The point is to have low-level, ambient sound. Try a free online white noise generator like SimplyNoise. Or, you might also invest in a white noise application for your iPad, as they’ve been proven to help people fall asleep more quickly. Moreover, the constant, low-level sound can also help mask more abrupt noises that may disturb you when you finally do fall asleep. Try putting down your shades and drawing your curtains if the light from lightning flashes disturbs your sleep. Or, you might try sleeping in a room with no window, which will also insulate you from sound.  Turning on a dim light or "night light" might help. One of these lights can diminish the contrast between total darkness and flashes of light from lightning If you still see lightning through your window, consider moving your head away from the window and try to close your eyes.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Try using earplugs. Listen to white noise. Block out the lightning flashes.

Article: However, as explained in the section on buying at flea markets from an unlicensed dealer, you run the same risk of buying a stolen firearm and having to surrender it with no compensation.  Private sales are a great resource for finding antique firearms. As a rule, they will be priced considerably lower than what you will find in an antique store. In general, be leery of the "fantastic deal" offered to you by a stranger. Ask if the seller will allow you to pay for a licensed dealer to handle the transaction through their store. This will allow you to have the serial number checked and give you peace of mind for a relatively small transaction fee.
