Passage Summary: We know that if workers strike, their conditions usually get better in a few years, and the workers know this too. Even though their current conditions are bad, they still won't strike.

Reasoning: N/A.

Analysis: The paradox here is a conflict between rational self-interest and actual behavior: why wouldn't workers take an action they know will improve their lives? To resolve this, we need a piece of information that explains why the 'cost' of striking is too high or why the 'benefit' isn't as good as it looks. Perhaps the workers can't afford to go five years without the improvements, or maybe the act of striking itself carries a penalty that outweighs the eventual gain. Look for an answer that introduces a significant downside to striking that the workers are trying to avoid.
