That's very true, but sometimes short term pain is worth the long term gains and maintaining your current quality of life. Sometimes life situations force someone into a situation that they may need to do something like cross a picket line, if I was on strike and my coworker had some tragic personal circumstances completely out of their control that basically put them in a position where they needed to cross the line or they would be forced from their home, I would be going to every other member and asking if we can all pull together to help that worker, if that failed then I would accept the situation for what it was and hold nothing against that person. If someone crossed the line because they were simply not wanting to stand up and support us, and then expecting to get all the benefits afterwards, I would accept their choice but I would not have to agree with their actions.
