Labor unions have their place. They are, at least in theory, the voice of the workers. And their best weapon for collective bargaining is the strike. Work stoppage. Bring the corporate big wigs to their knees until they give us what we want. And if that's as far as it went, hey! great plan!
But unfortunately strikes can have HUGE repercussions against people who are not the intended target. Even other workers who are philosophically in solidarity with union members.
This is the story of one of those "friendly" workers who is suffering at the hands of his allies....
