slipjig3I'm rather concerned about this.
Our work contract ends in 25 hours.
The Union and the company have been wrangling steadily, but as yet it's very unclear as to whether they will reach any sort of agreement in time.
If they do not succeed in reaching an agreement, we will strike.
A strike (provided it's not too protracted) is survivable, yes.
However.
When we strike, all of us will be required to picket for a certain amount of time every week.
While picketing, we show solidarity by dressing similiarly.
In particular, they distribute matching T-shirts for everyone on the picket line.
The shirts are the same color every time, a particular shade associated with our Union.
That color is red.
Yes, we're going out there as 60,000 red-shirts.
