If they alternative is quiting, than they don't have very much to lose by going on strike.
- gchamonlive 2y agoThat's only true if you are guaranteed to find another job that pays at least as much as that one you are striking against before running out of savings money, otherwise it's always best to look for career movements while still employed.
- bawolff 2y agoYou are still employed while on strike. You don't make money, but the union can always cave, and then you are right back at your old job. Its not like quitting your job, where if it doesn't work out you are screwed.
