It's my opinion that if an individual refuses to get involved in official industrial action for whatever reason he, or she, should not receive the increased pay award or improved working conditions when the dispute is settled.

As a matter of interest, how many people - excluding management - did cross the picket line?

Should the non-striking member get the original offer then? Offers aren't always about pay so that could create some very different contracts between workers e.g. the non-striking worker might finish up with lower pay but doesn't have to work Sundays, while union members get higher pay with Sunday part of the working week.

It could also be argued some of those who don't strike can't afford to lose a day's pay.
