Union not such a good idea

Everybody has their own take on the usefulness or practicality of unions in the workplace. I'm am not a big fan but here in the South that is not so much of an issue. They exist, but in fields that don't generally effect me directly. The same can't be said in Montreal.

There's a strike acoming. The folks working for the SAQ aren't exactly stoked on the pay so they're gonna stick it to the man. Of all the things to keep 'un-unionized', it would seem alcohol and its delivery to me would be first and foremost. You see the SAQ is the sole alcohol distributor in Quebec. No SAQ, no alcohol.

Which begs the question: If the striking employee, with nothing else to do, drinks a beer is he/she a scab?
