It may not come close but it still provides income for those on the picket line. There's also the fact that striking workers get can get other jobs to suppliment thier incomes while on strike. In 1997 I was involved in a 2 month strike. I was ticked at my union for striking and got another job for the period of time. Never walked the picket line or collected strike pay.
Mangement filling in for striking workers doesn't come close to filling the position of those on the picket line. They have every right to bring in replacemnet workers just like the strikers who took on extra jobs to pay the bills.
