Editor's Note: As an active union member and steward, who HAS been on strike, I would be remiss to not share a list of active labor disputes on a live updating map which can be found here: https://striketracker.ilr.cornell.edu/ We don't cross picket lines in this house and remember. Strikes are SUPPOSED to be disruptive. If a company is under strike, even if your location isn't, please respect the strike by not going. This means no Starbucks until the strike ends!
