The strike is an increasingly weak tool. Labor laws are not going to help you at all.

We're up against it in terms of what is on offer in Budapest or Prague. They've got non-unionized labor forces in the film industry and tax incentives coming on stream. It's cheaper labor, yet highly skilled.

There's a certain absurdity to the 'permanent replacement' doctrine.

Not prolonging a strike so that employers don't have a justification for hiring permanent replacements.

I'm using labor out of the mission. I'm trying to teach guys the different trades, trying to help them, so maybe, when they leave here, they're not going to have to go out and get a $6-an-hour job.

We not only help them integrate into the community and into the local labor market. But for a lot of folks these days, two-income households are important, particularly when the service member is deployed.
