Although I grew up the son and grandson of union factory workers (and the namesake of both of them), I'm the same way. I understand it's a hard time to ask for a raise, but it's a raise that was apparently already agreed upon before it was arbitrarily rescinded. I'm normally sympathetic towards those who cross the line because they need to feed family, but this is a part time job. I find myself firmly on the side of the strike here.

I'm still waiting for his answer, though.
