    I would hope, but many seem to have trouble doing it. For example, the Fresno Unified teacher’s union in California doesn’t show anything about a strike fund. Instead, they’re offering zero interest loans to teachers on the picket lines.

    Imagine the message it would send to the board if the community rose up and funded their teachers while they were on strike!

      Interesting: I know the writer’s strike had a strike fund that helped sustain writers.

      It’s not enough on its own but afaik most unions do have some amount set up for a strike fund
