Hey Airbubba,
While respecting that much of this discussion is way above me, surely a decision to cross a picket line is a purely personal one and shouldn't be held against him? I could understand this if it was a strike regarding a safety-related issue, but in this case, presumably he strongly disagreed with the position taken by the union and chose to ignore it.
I imagine it would take a lot of soul-searching before any decision to cross a picket line could be made. Whether that decision is right or wrong is a completely different matter and can only be judged retrospectively.
As I said, I have no experience in union matters but is it still the case that a decision made decades ago can still be held against someone?
Cheers,
Dave.
