Re: Discrimination Yes or No
If you have no means of income, even if temporary, can you blame a bank or lending institution for not giving you a loan? Often unions have strike funds. Have you investigated that means? If you can tap equity in your home, you might want to look into that, as well. Hopefully, the strike will resolve soon to the mutual benefit of your employer and you and your colleagues.
