I think its entirely possible that the company has probably done an assessment on how long they can withstand a strike without going completely under.

The reality is we could go on strike, but most guys here are not expecting that to happen. That's a dangerous position to take. I'm preparing now, and hoping for the best later.

You probably can wait a while. Even if we get released, which I think is not going to be soon, you will have 30 days of the cooling off period to decide what to do. And see if there is a fee to do it. Ask if there is a "hardship clause" that would allow you to take it out without the penalties. I don't know, I never enrolled in the plan.
