said by bjbrock:I truly hope you can get what is fair. Health care is big problem in this country. However, your possible strike, if it will disturb the continuity of service, is not fair to those who use Qwest in their business. I don't have all the answers but I still say striking is not the thing to do.
In addition, a strike like this, which would have a tremendous effect on the economy in the region, would more than likely prompt the President to force you back to work. I think RR was the last president to invoke this power. But he did it because the well being of the country was at stake.
Management could cover repairs. New installs would probably get pushed back. If there was a natural disaster there might be some possibility of union members coming back for that purpose then walking again.
