4. Well yeah, me too but...
...recently I got really pissed at my ex-co-workers when they struck against the county over something really petty. I was just a seasonal worker, and didn't get any benefits (or even a vote on the strike) anyway, but nevertheless had to strike with them to "show support" and avoid being beat up by the picketing fascists who hung out in the workplace parking lots. I lost three days' pay because of those bastards even though the whole thing had absolutely nothing to do with me.
The REALLY funny part was that my dad (who just retired) was the director of the county's health care department and was on the other side of the strike lines LOL (so we were both basically of the same opinion...I was just the one doing the striking).
Anyway, I'm totally for unions, but it pisses me off when people strike over petty stuff. Not that I have the first clue about why these clerks are striking.
