Even given the 7 day scenario, losing a week of pay to make it up in a year is pretty pointless. Considering you've made up your wages based on the old pay rate, it negates the raise for that year. If they're on strike for a month, it negates the raise for the entire contract. So you're now working for 3 years at the same rate as last year.
I guess some could view it as unpaid vacation time however, they lose out on the funds but essentially they arn't actually working (unless your one of the ones picketing)
