When union members are put on the picket line by the union, they find out firsthand just what they’re risking during an economic strike.

Paychecks from Scripps Health would stop.
Economic strikers don’t qualify for unemployment in most states.
Strikers may have to pay the entire premium cost for their health insurance policies.
Patient care and service suffers.
In an economic strike, strikers may be permanently replaced: The striker will go on a preferential recall list, but a replacement worker has no obligation to give up the job when the strike is over, and the employer has no obligation to rehire the striking workers.
