Would you cross a picket line?

[Ban my account ffs!]

When I was in 9th grade, our school bus drivers went on strike for about 4 days and I, along with about 50% of the rest of the students in my district, stayed home.  It ultimately caused the district to lose a good amount of state money based on average daily attendance and teachers couldn't get anything done with only 50% attendance.

I no longer fly with Northwest Airlines because the way they treated employees in their reorganization.  Now they have to recall many pilots because they cut too far and they stranded a lot of customers.

I am a big supporter of unions because they are effective in getting employees better wages and benefits which leads to more productive employees and better service.  But I'm also a northern Minnesotan... no anti-unionists allowed.
