    You’re literally partially making sure you still get PAID when shit happens.

    Very good point, and I honestly wonder how common that knowledge even is.

    Then again, almost all anti-union propaganda hinges on people not knowing enough about the subject to call it out. As with most propaganda.

      Nevermind! I see what was said was that the unions can pay striking workers but it wont be the standard rate. So striking could cause lost wages.

        Hmm. It’s been a thing for every union I’ve been a part of, but it makes sense it wouldn’t be ALL of them that do it. I’m sure some just simply aren’t large enough to do it like that.

        That’s something to worry about in every arena that involves money, not just unions. It’s just a fact of life that there are crooks and liars in the world.
