I do not believe it is "for those reasons" you would be "seen" as a striker .
I believe that if you pull a sickie on a strike day you should be seen as a [less than effective] striker.
I believe that if you are given fair warning that if you pull a sickie on a strike day, fail to cover yourself by obtaining a 'sicknote', then you're a [even less effective] striker.
I also believe that if you're genuinely ill and unfortunately that illness affects you on a strike day otherwise you would have been at work, you won't have a problem.
If it happens that every time there's a strike called you happen to have been in that unfortunate position and, for whatever reason, you haven't noticed and therefore got yourself a 'sicknote' to cover, you're probably in the wrong job
