STRIKE!
So today, Sacramento County is on strike because the Board Of supervisors think it's ok to up our insurance contributions and not give a pay increase and refuse to raise to the COLA increase. Eww.
I can't strike because I'm on ptrobation, but my heart is with them. Until today. The picketers called me a scab. I'm not sure what that means but I'm sure it can't be good. They know probationary peeps have no rights. Eww again.
According to the news, there are over 7500 county employees on strike today.
I hope this strike ends soon.

Yeah, being a "scab" is not a good thing in the union world. That means you cross the picket line and actually do some form of work (at least in my knowledge of the use of the word). I can't believed they called you that! That's a reason I don't like unions a lot of times. Mind you, I agree with unions 99.9% of the times, but to call you a "Scab" like that, now that's uncalled for.
