    I am also not particularly optimistic that it will change much, but nonetheless I respect the union and its member standing up for their principles.

      It’s more than just principles, it’s their entire function. What is the purpose of a union if a member can just be coerced into working without its protection?

        Oh, absolutely. Still probably everyone of us will remember one or several occasions when a union abandoned its stance in order to reach some sort of “deal” to the detriment of its members. I am 100% in favor of unions big and small, but I also don’t harbor any illusions about them being able to *not cave under pressure.
