I'm not sure which of the nurses unions told them that if it got back to them that any of their number had crossed the Disney picketline, that there would be trouble. In general, no union members cross another unions' picket line. My father-in-law was a butcher, so we were shopping at Trader Joe's and Stater Brothers (despite our Vons/Ralphs preference) until the strike was settled. It's just not morally right.

Yes you were raised with certain principles. Some of us don't agree with YOUR principles. I don't see your views as "principles" either. When I think of principles I think of things like: do not lie, do not cheat, do not steal, do not kill. I see your views as political beliefs. You are entitled to your political beliefs. But you shouldn't be shocked when you come across people that don't agree with your political beliefs.
It's hard to say how many people disagree with your beliefs. This is because most people wouldn't automatically strike. Most people would actually think about it first and decide if it was a wise decision. I bet most people wouldn't strike just because everyone else is doing it, like you suggested they should. That's very childish. Aren't we supposed to be teaching our children not to give into peer pressure? To stand up for what they believe in?
Just because we don't agree with your political beliefs, that doesn't make us immoral people.
