Is it ok to cross a picket line if its nurses on strike at a hospital?

The nurses union at a nearby hospital is on strike and I am completely pro union and would never want to cross a picket line to support a business, but is it ok when its a hospital? I don't have many choices for medical care and will need to visit a hospital soon.

    You are crossing the line to get MEDICAL care - it is fine.

    What would NOT be fine would be crossing the line to work as a temporary nurse while they are trying to fight for better conditions.

    Of course.  Unions have had no place in out Coutry for 50 years or more.  You don't need to pay a bunch of money to a union to pretend they have your best interest at heart.  If you do a good job and go above and beyond, you get rewarded and advance.  The unions fight for everyone (even the bad employees) and cost the hospital money that could go toward wages.  Unions are a dinosaur.

    what planet are you on ?  their reason for striking is not your business, your health is. Would any of them care if you died from no treatment?
