Will a work walk-out work?
I can understand Santa Cruz County workers holding a one-day strike to underscore the rejection of management's contract offer. However, what often seems to happen in these situations is that people look around and realize that business is going on pretty much as usual. It can cause the public to wonder why we have so many people on a county payroll in the first place. Particularly in the case of road workers, I've heard several people say we won't even notice they're not working because some of the county roads have been in such bad shape for so long they doubted that there was much work going on to begin with. Ouch.
