Walking a picket line isn't easy.

Not a fun or easy way of making money. In fact the days are very long and boring. Did it for a day in 97 and went out and found a temp job the next until the strike was over.
Your strike captain was a nazi, I got to sit around studying and playing cards all day for those 10 weeks.
