At at time when many people are getting zero raises or taking cuts in pay or losing their jobs completely, there is little sympathy for these striking workers. In addition, there was absolutely no warning the strike would happen. They decided at 3 this morning. People woke up to the news with no time to make alternate arrangements.
I think the union is being extremely selfish and unreasonable given the current economy.
