I know our summer assoc was negotiating a new contract this past year (which we settled) and we had one weasle that was willing to work games independent of the association and also get other umpires to work with him had we not settled. (Note: summer league umpires are not independent contractors like HS season in my area, which made it even worse).
I think a few would work, and then a few more, and before you know it the strike would be broken. If I'm right, they know it too, and will settle. What happened to the guy in your association? Is he still welcome ther?
