If your employer is not paying you for your work, and this happens day after day, week after week and now you are missing several paychecks, would it be considered a strike if the workers decided to not report back to work until the pay for their labor is restored?
I ask this because there was a discussion that perhaps it will take a complete system wide shutdown of the folks who work at our airports in security to get the Congress and the President to resolve this shutdown. But so far, on its worse day, only about 10% of airport security workers have called in sick.
What would be the legal problems with their union simply telling them that their employer has broken their contract and they can have the option of not reporting to work until the matter is resolved and the employer honors the contract?
Would this be a huge impetus to solve the shutdown?
