re: #10 Obdicut

You can wrap whatever moral reasons you choose around it but the bottom line is they’re refusing to work. You cannot refuse work and then expect your neighbors to pitch in to make up for your shortfall. This is why the union sets up a strike fund with members dues and not taxpayer money.

Second, if the family is eligible they’re still eligible even if a parent goes on strike. Your asking the rest of us to chip in and involuntarily support a union strike, why would you think that’s a legitimate request to make?
