Au contrare, I don't think it was stupid for them to go on strike. I don't mind that they struck to improve their pay/benefits. I think they could have been smarter about it but who's to say I know when a better time would be. I hope they get more pay and better benefits when all is said and done.

My point all along was that the union is only out for themselves and don't care about anyone else's right to work. Strike if you want, particularly if you think it will be effective and improve your bargaining position. Just don't expect that others, who you would care nothing about otherwise, to not take the jobs you aren't going to do to put money in their pocket. You have no right to tell anyone not involved in your union when or where they can work and you shouldn't degrade them just because they see a job opportunity differently then you do.

And I'll never wear Nike shoes.

Anyway, the next time you go to the shoe store and buy those over priced pair of Nikes, try and think about the child labor that probably went into making them and how little those kids were paid to make them.
