[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1113374, member: 12570"] You don't "have to be" at the picket line. I agree with you that spending hours outside of UPS is not a very productive use of our time. This is why I found a job and worked during the 1997 strike. You should know that if you choose not to spend time on the picket line that you will forfeit your strike pay. Now, "crossing the picket line" is the absolute last thing that you want to do. Yes, you would get paid the same and everything, but you would also have told your co-workers that you don't support the strike and are more concerned about yourself. Depending upon where you work the reaction from your co-workers could range from giving you the cold shoulder all the way to vandalizing your car or destroying your personal property. You don't want to to cross a picket line!! [/QUOTE]
