Conservative Talk Show host Joe Crummey is taking calls concerning the latest news about the grocery store lock-out and strike. Union officials were in Los Angeles yesterday to discuss current negotiations.
Joe Crummey believes the grocery store strikers are being misled by their Union. He suggests that workers re-read their contract. Page 12 of their contract says that workers get $4.04 (company paid insurance benefit per hour) for every hour they work.
Mentions also that civil disobedience has now been suggested by a sympathetic union supporter.

grocery workers can't read

This is a strike for the union, not necessarily for the workers. Seems to me it is a classic union issue - two tier wage scale. New hires start at lower pay. Existing workers stike for the benefit of workers not yet hired and for the strength of the union as a whole.
The workers will never see a recovery of the money they have lost while out on strike. If they thought so, they are mistaken or were misled.

The workers will never see a recovery of the money they have lost while out on strike. If they thought so, they are mistaken or were misled. Of course they will never see a dime of the money they lost. The stores are not obligated to pay these idiots for the time they never worked.
As for why they strike, to put it simply, it is all about greed. And labor unions use extortion tactics to satiate their greed.
At least in Texas and New York companies can do the right thing and fire every last one of them. In California, they have to deal with union thugs trying to keep people from crossing picket lines by either blocking entrances or attacking replacement workers and customers.
