NoLightOff,

Hetman speaks facts, not opinion; get used to it. I was on the EAL MEC, we ran a "Max Safety" program, or rather, someone ran it outside the MEC. We all got sued under a Federal RICO suit. Sheriff comes to my one-bedroom apartment, serves me and I pointed out, everything in the place wasn't worth $500, I'd settle out of court. He laughed.

Yes, any organized work stoppage or action to impair your employer's business is likely to blowback in a bad way. If you don't want to pick up open time--great. See how it works at the majors, where senior guys pickup open time with guys furloughed. Human nature.
