I don't know what a strike will look like but I also think many pushing for have this dream like interpretation of what that actually means. I really don't see a reason why we would, nor am I really all that worried about a Trump presidency. I mean, I AM worried, but I see no reason to let my anxiety rise over something that seems inevitable. Dems had 4 years to prevent this from happening, and, as usual, they struck out at Tee Ball.
Is Mulgrew great? Ehh, we could do better, probably. Then again, in a world where unions have little influence, I suppose he is doing his best? I could think of much bigger problems than whatever Trump and Republicans have in store (yes, I am aware of the school choice issue, but I really doubt that is at the top of their agenda).

We should not strike lightly.
We should, however, be prepared to strike so that we have real leverage.
Mulgrew got us decade delayed raises and raises lower than inflation. And he was willing to sacrifice it healthcare to do so.
We should build up a strike fund and have it available, letting the City know we have it available.
What other power do we have? Not much, as over the past two decades we have been giving back to the City
