Most probably couldn’t, but to be fair the strike pay is just supplemental. Important to have your own personal fund As well.

And no debt.
And lots of beer

Part timers should strike why? To protect full timers and enjoy being urinated on?

You could change all that with a simple vote

In the unlikely scenerio that there is a strike, what would the dynamics be? What was it like in '97?

 

[Over70irregs]

Just how long will the strike fund last? A month?

No rocks to strike now. In 97 there were rocks….

Pretty sure there is a set amount of hours per day you must be on the line to get that, Nah I'd just sit at home in the a/c drinking cold beer. Keep your $400.

Yep, I heard other places were a little more intense, we still had almost no one cross the line, but it was mostly good spirits and we didn’t give a because we knew the company was going to cave. Was just a matter of what they were going to cave on and how much.

All work stoppages are different. Once you walk, it can go sideways quickly.

It feels like we are controlled on how we should strike and what is socially acceptable. It would be nice if the union would support strikes such as Sitdown Strikes, Selective Strikes,etc,etc. The union should stop conforming and educate us on effective legal tactics that we could use.
