Hey, Jace!

[Terygon]

How goes it?

[JaceSan]

Okay. No steady job yet, but I did get playoff tickets to tonights As game. So in the grand scheme of things "it's all good".

[Terygon]

'Grats.

I'm in the process of trying to figure out if I will strike if the union so votes.

[JaceSan]

Eep!! Don't want to be a scab?

[Terygon]

I'm not really a union type gal, but no one said I _had_ to take this job, but I really need the paycheck, but the union will likely fine members who scab (how much, I don't know, but its likely to be a hefty amount), but I _really_ need the paycheck, but...

[JaceSan]

That sucks. Sounds like you're between a hard place and a rock.

[Terygon]

My sense of honor says, "Noone made you join" so I think that and the fine will keep the picketers safe from the likes of me.

Still, I hope I get that job at Trader Joe's. They're not union.

[JaceSan]

I've never worked for a union. I don't know how I'd react to a strike. The union has funds set aside for striking members don't they?

[Terygon]

Only if you walk the line, and I'm pretty sure I'm not _that_ commited

[JaceSan]

But if you need the paycheck...I'm sure it's not the same as if you cross the line.

If I were going to cross a picket line I think I'd ask the employer to compensate me. Just because of the union backlash. Some of the strikes can get nasty.
