To me, one of the greatest tragedies of this strike is the rift it has caused between people who would otherwise be good colleagues and friends. Everyone in the company has been forced to decide which side they're on and each decision has come with a personal loss; of friends, of faith, of respect perhaps and even of dignity and honor in some cases. Judging from the enthusiasm with which OPEIU has seized on this crash to bolster their argument I can't help but think that some in the union are quietly hoping for more accidents. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
