hmmm. You would think that before entertaining a strike that they would make demands that "sell" to the general public. If their wages have not kept up with inflation, then demanding a wage that has seems like something you could sell and be publicly supported. (Unless the public thought you were way overpaid before.) Stating that we are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and we need to be paid 40 hours for 32 hours of work is non-sensical (in my opinion). 40 hours per week, with inflation adjusted pay seems like reasonable demands that you might get support for. (Although, the unions all proudly support certain folks, who might possibly be responsible for inflation). This could be a case of you get what you voted for. Not intended to be political. If anyone thinks that is, please advise so I can remove it ASAP.
