    I thought the whole point of paying you union dues was that when a strike happens, the union covers a portion of your salary like unemployment.

      It’s not an unlimited fund, which is why the UAW strike isn’t at every single plant for example. Policies like this would greatly strengthen unions by allowing much longer and more widespread strikes.
