Fair point. However the purpose of the strike is to cause the employer financial pain by limiting the company's ability to get any product out. While fringey is correct that this isn't like a traditional picket (i.e. UAW and Ford*) but I guess that a somewhat good anology would be the UAW member being on strike against Ford at a U.S. plant, but going over to Europe to do some assembly work in a Land Rover plant.

*I recognize that the UAW did not strike Ford. It was simply an example.
