re: #286 Lidane

I’m just not seeing the difference between food stamps for striking workers that want better conditions, and other things that we may not like but pay for anyway.

Why should workers be punished for striking and having their employers dig in their heels? That’s not right.

They are not being punished. They are simply not be subsidized for striking. Also, I might ask you as a hypothetical about a case where the union is the side that is being unreasonable and digging in its heels. In such a case, would it not be true that to grant the workers benefits for striking is to make it easier for them to strike in order to force concessions that are unjustified? It’s not always “Management is bad, Union is good” any more than it is “union is socialist and bad”, management is capitalism and good”.
