University of Chicago workers go on strike. My wife just called me and told me she was forced to go on strike today. She works in an administrative capacity at the hospital. She was told, by U of C management, that she could not cross the line. WTF? Is that even legal?

I gather your wife is part of the union. She was told by management she could not cross the line? Is the management union too?

When management tells employees they can not come in to work it is called a lockout, and it's legal. Are you sure they didn't tell her to avoid coming to work for safety reasons? If so, she can go on it to work.

She is in one of the unions there. They have multiple unions on the site. No, she is not in management. I just talked with her briefly. Her union is voting tonight. The SEIU already rejected the proposal they were offered. I still don't know all the details of why she was told she couldn't work. Whether it's a lock out, which seems unlikely, or the hospital just doesn't want the potential for violence on the picket line, I don't know.
I'll get more details when she comes home this evening.
