Fuck you, Newsome. I think pay for striking workers would be overwhelmingly popular with voters. I’m voting against this turkey next chance I get.

    I support unions but this seems like it would give too much power to them. When you have guaranteed pay you can strike for just about any reason.

    The point of a strike is that it hurts for both parties, so it has to be worth it.

      No, the point of a strike is to put the hurt that the employees are already feeling on the employers

      Yay! Let’s do it then. Employers can stop paying for any reason.
