Nurses and bus drivers have threatened to strike before, but thankfully things were resolved before they actually walked out on the job.
My mom's a travel industry employee, and she says that the hotel workers are considering walking off the job in the near future. Hotel management has been hiring sub-contracted workers, and union members aren't too happy about that. The last time the hotel employees went on strike was in 1990, and it crippled the industry. Being that tourism is our #1 industry, management has to take this seriously.
To make things worse, the government employees are now in negotiations with the state concerning their contract. They last went on strike in 1994, and that was a horrible, horrible time. HSTA, UHPA, and the HGEA all endorsed our governor as he ran for re-election in 1998, and this is the thanks they get!
