N.Beltov, the Facebook group 'Rec workers for ending the strike' and the petition that stemmed from that is not in support of, or against, any of the union's grounds for striking. Whether the strike is legitimate or not (some of us think it is, some think it isn't), it has been going on now for almost two weeks and it needs to end.
On a side note, if your customized status is a reference to the The Prisoner, that's awesome.
city_worker: I know about the wage harmonization issue, and I know how hard a strike is on everyone, especially people supporting a family. The union has been very good to me, and has helped make my summer job safe, secure and well-paid. We're not speaking out against the union, just pushing for an end to the strike.
