2. I was thinking about other unions; are they under the same provision?

6. Secondary strikes are illegal..
...under the Taft-Hartley Act, unions engaging in them risk fines that could wipe them out financially.

3. Perhaps this should be a general strike - other unions . . . ?
I saw some calls for a general strike, over a week ago.

4. There are still many options to pursue through the legal system
No need to go off half-cocked.

5. In the new bill that just passed ......

The bill...

Allows the Governor to terminate any state employee during a state emergency if the employee: (a) fails to report to work for 3 working days without approval; (b) participates in a strike, work stoppage, sit-down, stay-in, slowdown or "other concerted activities", including sick calls and/or mass resignations.
