Unions, Jobs and Strikes

So on the eve of a possible strike at my job I sit in front of the computer with the classifieds open and multiple websites open concerning possible new jobs. Our union's contract is up and neither the company or the union seem to be on the same page as far as a new contract goes. The company wants to take incentives, vacation and forgo any raises (even though the company has been expanding and posting profits)and the union hasn't been on a strike in years so they want to flex their muscles, leaving us, the workers to wonder if we are going to be able to pay our bills. Of course this great state that I live and work in does not support workers out on strike (no, I can't apply for unemployment, I already checked) and the unions strike fund will only give me enough to pay my monthly car insurance and nothing else. I'm not stressing, believe that God will make a way.
