Union and going on strike

Going on strike really sucks. Anyone else part of a teamsters union?  You would think I'd be happy about not being at work right now, but considering I don't get paid for being on strike I'm not. Frustration, is a word that describes how I feel right now. Usually playing video games helps relief stress when I'm nervious but right now I just don't feel like doing anything. I'm wondering what I'll do if the strike goes on to long and I run out of money to pay my bills.

Yeah what Mass said....get out of the Unions...they mean well for their workers but sometimes end up doing more harm than good. hang in there.

Depends on the locals. If your Local is good, then you are set. With my boss, there is no way the company would stay in operation if it wasn't union. And with out the union, I know for a fact my wages would be less than half of what I make now, and the benefits/retirement would be non-existent. It's all about the solidarity.
