This really is descending into a farce - he said, she said banter with little or no foundation. Nor, in general, with any ability to take the blinkers off and see things from another perspective.
To answer a suggestion from a few posts back - there is another route to take regarding crossing the picket line. Walk with head held high, assured of the belief that you are doing the correct thing, for you. I have zero qualms about going to work, offering my services, and feeling quite content that it is the correct thing for me to do. Suggestions that I will be an outsider on future trips, will be sipping my beer in bar alone etc are met with derision and deserve little more comment than that.
I don't understand why people are striking, but I respect your democratic right to do so. Be adult and respect mine to go to work, minus the rumour mongering about how sad my life will be downroute.
