Look at it this way, I think we can agree that it isn't the act of a strike alone that gives us leverage, after all we'd just be standing around not getting paid. It is the threat of a strike or the desire to end one that can force a better deal. In much the same way, it isn't the act of opting out of paying dues that gives members a voice, it is the threat of opting out or the reaction to those that do that can force change or reform from within. No one should want to strike for the purpose of destroying the company, nor opt out of dues to destroy the union but we can use the tools available to us to keep both sides of the bargaining table focused on reaching a fair deal for workers.Sent using BrownCafe App</blockquote>
