That’s honestly the best answer I could give you. Every Union has different rules for that stuff so I basically know as much as has been reported, $75/day and they have over $200M in a strike fund. I’m not sure if they only qualify to be paid when they picket on days they were scheduled to work or if they can do it every day and get paid. If you and Fuzz want specifics beyond that and what Derek Sutton has posted you should probably call PSAC or one of their members if you know any because they would actually know.

It’s all kind of irrelevant though, a strike fund helps mitigate losses but whether it runs out or not it’s not going to have much if any impact on the strike overall. $75/day probably isn’t going to pay your mortgage.

No idea where the $200 million they have access to has come from, but the fewer who picket, the longer it lasts.
It depends who you ask, most people would say dues but pierre Polievre would also add something silly along the lines of it’s money stolen from the taxpayers.
