I am assuming you're with Telus (or a CBC technician).
Do what's right for you.
If your unions done something for you, or protecting you from some underhanded proposal like making your child work in a coal mine, then stick by them.
If the Unions just getting into a p*ssing contest with the company over trivial (and only you can decide whats trivial) matters, then you have to do what you have to do.
The biggest farce of a union strike I remember was Safeway back in the mid 90's here in town. Those who had been there 10 years or so had some legitmate benefit demands.
But the union spun it that every worker was in danger of being bent over by evil Safeway. This whipped the 15-18 year old part timers into wildcat mode strike, only because it allowed them to give the finger to fellow workers who crossed, yell at them, the freedom to kick their car doors and windshields in, and get on TV for their friends to see. When interviewed on TV, the only response to their actions was because they "were on strike".
