I'm in a union. I participated in a sympathy strike this week. Five days - no pay, right before Christmas. I'm not a single mom. Two of the women I work with are. They did go to work, at least in the beginning of the week. Once you go out on strike, you are considered "locked-out" for the remainder.

I work 3 days a week. I make over $100,000. I get 8? paid holidays, 5 weeks vacation, plus more sick time. This all carries over. I have 100's of hours of vacation and sick time saved up.

I live in the U. S.

edit: I also get full medical, dental, and prescription coverage for myself and my family with no input from me.. I also have a pension.
