    I honestly did not know that. I’ve been wondering how, for example, UAW workers can afford to strike for weeks.

      The downside is that you won’t get paid as much as you would working. My union pays $200 a day to anyone on a picket line, but as a strike goes on, the money starts to run out.

      Fortunately it hasn’t come to that for us.
