So my ex is urging me to walk out on Monday (strike date is set for Monday).

Posted by Mop (200 lbs) (aka rburriel) Sep 25 '13, 09:17

I don't know why it's got me so riled up. But while I was previously leaning towards *not* walking out, now I'm determined not to walk out.

has management provided any details on how to handle it? -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 09:25 5
- if you aren't a member you'd likely be up for a good ole firing... -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 09:25 1
  - Not in this scenario. There are others represented by other unions who would suffer consequences, though. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:29
- How to handle what, exactly? We carry on work to the best of our abilities. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:25 2
  - sometimes they tell folks not to cross picket lines if it seems unsafe, also your situation sounds weird -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 09:26 1
    - We've got State Police on campus. If the union makes trouble, our instructions are to call the staties first. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:33
why do you care what she thinks? -- nm - groiny Sep 25, 09:20 4
- It's disturbing, I know, but I think I have a better, more functional, relationship with her now than before. - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:28 3
  - Good for you. - David Sep 25, 09:30
  - your situation stresses me out. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 25, 09:29 1
    - You've got enough stress of your own. You don't need mine. I don't have any, anyway. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:30
haven't been followingthis at all. what's the issue? -- nm - znufrii Sep 25, 09:18 12
- Union's set a strike date for Monday. Contract talks have been dragging. - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:19 11
  - good luck! -- nm - znufrii Sep 25, 09:22
  - how is crossing the picket line going to be? -- nm - Andie Sep 25, 09:21 6
    - It's a large campus. There'll be ways to get to work without having to look my coworkers in the eye. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:30 5
      - question: will you benefit from their striking? ie: if they win better terms in the contract, will you get those as well? -- nm - Andie Sep 25, 09:33 4
        
        If the union gets concessions from management, I will benefit, yes. Their contract is my contract. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:34 3
        
        won't that be a problem when the union wins (or if) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 25, 09:35 2
        
        You mean, will I get nasty looks from my co-workers after the strike is over? Maybe. Fuck them. - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:37 1
        
        sounds like you get the nasty looks allready :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 25, 09:57
  - how can you not be a member but be represented by them? -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 09:21 2
    - It's like this in most states, I believe. Open shop or whatever it's called. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 09:25
    - oh yes...SCAB! -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 09:21
