What should I do?

[Deja Q]

My company wants to introduce a slew of employee-unfriendly acts, such as furloughs whenever it's necessary. This means I could be told not to come into work for a week, up to a whole month. I won't go through the whole list, but they're really slamming employees this time around in negotiations. I can even handle the pay freeze even though others are getting 2% or 3% and the hike in health insurance costs.

But furloughs means no money coming in. I'm screwed.

Of course, I have the option to strike. Given all the non-monetary items these "people" impose, you're damn right I'm going to strike and encourage others to do so. Everybody I've talked to has WINCED over the proposals my company wants put into place.

Of course, striking means no money comes in either.

Should I sit back and allow these vile people to have their way (though they'll thank everybody when they do a good job, of course) or strike?

Either way, I'm toast financially. It's bankruptcy time.

Oh, if I thought suicide would help the cause of my co-workers (who are more important), I'd do it in an attosecond - just to make the administration look bad. My life's been a joke anyway, 500 high school students weren't wrong.

Of course, going to the media might be a more positive solution, especially if they knew what the administration is giving themselves while pissing on all of We, The Workers...
