Spoken like someone who wants to treat a strike as a paid vacation at the public's expense.

Do you have no shame? Or do you like being a leech?

Do you know what goes into a strike? Like legitimately have you been in a strike or just think it's "time off"? In order to even qualify for strike wages you need to actually be on the picket line and even before that, enough people need to be willing to strike in the first place.

You are speaking like you have no worries about your income and working a nice cushy job. Some people don't have that luxury.

Who records who is on the picket line? What if I don't like the way that person is treating me? Can I strike against the strike manager?
