Teachers and other union workers please come in

Anyone ever have to strike?

 My Dad is a union worker and they just went on strike. I was thinking of trying to do something to show support during his strike hours. I have a friend that does gourmet cookies and I was thinking maybe she could do something with thier logo or I could find a company that I can have bring in lemonade and water.

I am not sure though what the union typically provides and what is allowable from the outside.

Just wondering since I know there are many teachers on here if anyone has been in this situation and has advice.

TIA

    Teachers aren't really allowed to strike.  We can do "job actions" like work to rule, or make a picket line right after school, or refuse extra help.  But public workers (at least in NJ) cannot strike and not go to work.

     At any rate, cookies would always be appreciated by anyone.

    I have not had to strike but my mom has had to a couple times. I think cookies or something would be great.

    Thanks for the FYI. I didn't know that. All I recall is being a kid and hearing about contract disputes over the summer and possibility of school not starting on time but that was a long time ago and I was a kid so my understanding of the situation was shaky at best.

    My dh is in a union and jokes if they ever go on strike I need to up my wife duties and join the other wives to bake cookies and make food for all the other workers. I guess the last time they went on strike a bunch of wives got together and took care of the men lol as my dh puts it. I think it would be a good gesture to do something nice for the workers I'm sure they would appreciate it. I'm not sure what is provided for the workers and my dh is sleeping I can get more details when he wakes up but I'm sure it is different in different states and unions.

    I am a teacher, and wish I didn't have to be part of a union.  I wouldn't strike from teaching...ever.  I do what I for the kids!  I couldn't imagine standing around striking all day :O)  Maybe some coffee would be helpful to your Dad!?
