Like Rut I believe in unions and therefore I would not cross a picket line. That said, even if I did not believe in unions, I would not cross a picket line because I would be screwing my brethern officials if I did cross the picket line.

I don't believe in them, but I'm told they exist anyway.

I've never been accused of being pro union in general however I wouldn't. In the case of the NFL, we has several officials that came up in Houston that are always teaching at our clinics. I can't imagine flipping them the bird and stepping into their job that I know I couldn't do as well.

Not to mention the stigma that I imagine is quite hard to wash off in what is a rather small circle.
