I wonder how often this is the case now. I am in a union not by choice, and may be facing the 'strike or scab' position later this summer as well. I have a feeling, if it comes to that, I'll just quit and find non-union work. I've never had a choice about joining a union though, it's always been "if you want to work here, you will be part of the union."
I wonder if that's how unions are still going these days. I've been told that once a union is into a job/shop, they are almost impossible to get out. If folks weren't forced to be in a union for some work, I wonder if they would have died off a while back.
