If GOP governors succeed in doing away with collective bargaining... |
|
would you support a nationwide strike by ALL Unions (or at least those who want to participate) as a way to protest what is happening? (this is totally hypothetical)

3. I do not cross picket lines...I support unions because I support workers rights... |
|
Unions fought and paid with blood for the 8 hour day, to outlaw child labor, health care, retirement, and most of the things that people now just think of as stuff they've always had.
If unions lose Collective Bargaining, then we start down the long road again to regaining the rights of workers to work for decent wages.

4. I support striking now. But yes - if collective bargaining goes contract negotiations |

including strike actions would be justified in my mind.
