You're not on Strike... you're FIRED!

Well, the Broadway strike is over, and the shows are back on in time for the holiday tourist rush. I’ve been thinking about strikes in general, and the logistics of it all, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it is utterly senseless. Think about it this way- if you were to show up for work one day, and decide that you were going to do NOTHING all day but sit in your office, you’d be FIRED. BUT if you decide you’re going to do nothing all day, and don’t come INSIDE to the office and march around outside instead, then that’s called a strike, and you CAN’T be fired for it.
