Unplanned Vacation

Well, my new job lasted all of six weeks. The nurses went out on strike this morning. I'm hanging in limbo right now. Since I'm still on probation with the hospital, they can terminate me as soon as I don't show up for work tonight... BUT... as an RN at the hospital, I have the union behind me. This is not a fun situation, but I decided that I can't cross. If the RNs are out on strike, who on earth is supposed to finish teaching me how the hospital works? (I'm still on orientation)

On the plus side... more knitting time. On the minus side... if this lasts a while, I'll need to start looking for another job.
