Yes it is. What?
It's wage theft
Not legally but yes.
~~However~~ additionally them striking is still striking.
Not a strike when employer doesn't pay. People need to eat and pay for living spaces
You can play semantic games all day, but that doesn't change reality
The reality is that if they go on strike, it is legally a crime. A judge can find them guilty of illegal collective action, and they can be fined or put in jail. Not getting paid is a very valid complaint, but the law doesn't have an exception for lack of payment
It's a fucked up law, but that's the law of the land. It is illegal for ATC to go on strike, and it's still legally considered a strike regardless of whether or not they're getting paid
Also, if we're going to play semantic games: ATC is still getting paid. They got a paycheck last week. It was just for $0.00
Wait its a fucking CRIME??
I thought the "exception" was just for the protections workers get (no discrimination, etc.)
I think you need to go refresh yourself on what a strike is and the conditions surrounding it.
Employees have never been paid while on strike. That's part of the whole thing. It's a standoff to see who will cave first; the employer with no money or the employees with no money.
Unions occasionally have some system to partially compensate striking workers for lost pay, precisely to tip that standoff in their direction. Maybe they confused that?
Not all unions have that, I believe, nor do all jobs have a union and I'd be surprised if ATCs in particular had one.
