We grunts were encouraged to walk out on a "sympathy strike" when I worked at Weyerhaeuser in Oregon, for a union beef in Georgia for Petes sake. About 1 in 3 stayed at work. Got the stinkeye from the usual union diehards, shop stewards and the usual piss poor employees that the union continually protected. They say you NEVER make up the money you lost by striking,
If they had scheduled these walkouts during good weather when I could take the family camping, I might have been a better union member.
Lots of intelligence in this post. And I’m not being sarcastic.
