Again...I'm new to the game and i'm trying to crawl...but running seems to be the key right now. Still looking for any gouge out there for interview, testing requirements, ect...
There's nothing wrong with accepting the job when we are on the verge of a strike as long as you don't do any work while the strike is going on. It will be up to the union as to whether participating in initial training is considered struck work. You will know beforehand. While we're confident that we will prevail with a new contract, the near term future at this company will be tumultuous at best. While this goes without saying, you are much better off quitting if you are given the ultimatum by the company to show up during a strike. You do NOT want to scab as the rest of your career will be lonely and your name will be forever associated with shame and cowardice.
