I don't want to engage in schadenfreude, especially so close to a holiday which is best spent employed.
I hope at least that the striking employees learned a valuable lesson: the minimum wage in the real world is 0.

    As you are new to the Gulch, I'm not familiar with your posting style.
    I'm having trouble discerning who your facetious comment is aimed at.

    Unfortunately, it is us, the working people, with this incredible guilt complex, that have bred the entitlement parasites.

    Nice of them to let the employees collect unemployment uncontested.
    Also nice of them to suggest the employees re-apply... of course, that doesn't mean they'll be re-hired... :D

    The one thing I have a hard time with is just how people like these employees look at themselves in the mirror. I do not sympathize with them one bit, as this is merely the end game of their actions.

    When I was an aerospace engineer it was common to be fired just before Christmas. Then, you'd get hired back after the first of the year. LOL

    Its Chicago. The entitlement capital of the world. I like the way an employee said they should get a severance. Gimme gimme gimme.

    Oops. That didn't work out like the union said. I wonder if any of the employees will try for a job at the new place for $8.25?
