re: #18 Obdicut

A union member doesn’t wake up one morning and go on strike. These folks know it’s coming, they vote on it. They have time to plan, prepare and, again, they pay dues into a fund they use to support themselves during a strike. The NFL players aren’t getting paid now, should we all kick in and pick up a portion of their food bill?

If people want to support a strike by refusing to cross a picket line or supporting a boycott that is their right but to ask the rest of us to come to the aid of a private organization is going too far.
