Letter: Shutdown? Strike? How about a sick-out?
(Ted S. Warren | The Associated Press) In this Jan. 12, 2018, file photo, Ana Martinez, a medical assistant at the Sea Mar Community Health Center, gives a patient a flu shot in Seattle. Researchers found in a study of credit reports that more than 2 percent of adults had medical bills under $200 sent to a collections agency. More than half of the annual medical collections were for less than $600, according to the study, which examined 2016 credit reports for more than 4 million unidentified people.

A discussion on CNN recently mentioned that President Donald Trump didn't like the term "shutdown,” but preferred the term "strike."
I heard a couple of presidents of government unions discussing the shutdown and wondered why they didn't consider a strike. I believe the other three-quarters of employees should strike. That would bring things to a head in a real hurry.
If a strike is anathema to government employees, they might consider a sick-out. It is the middle of flu season.
