Many people with mortgages and debts are on the unemployment line right now franticly looking for any kind of work that will help pay their bills. Yet in this economic climate the union brass thinks it's a good decision to go on strike. I don't get it.
Strike pay isn't going to cover lost wages creating a greater financial hardship for members. How is that going to help them pay their debts should this strike go on for an extended period of time? Explain to me how they are going to recover those lost wages? It most certainly won't come from the union.
You're right! It doesn't affect me but it sure does for members like CP's Hockey. I hope and pray he has the finacial resources to ride out this strike. The union brass doesn't give a fiddlers about poster Hockey and that's a shame.
