I am of two minds on this. On the one hand, I hate it because of its provenance. On the other, I don’t think there are any guarantees that the exercise of rights needs to come without the willingness to sacrifice. Choices have consequences. And unions certainly have been creating sufficient campaign warchests; the money could as easily be used to alleviate the financial pain of striking members for a time. I do understand that the employers have access to greater resources, but even those are not limitless.
