9. There is nothing like picket line issues
to bring out the worst in people.

Years ago my husband (who was a teacher) and his colleagues went on strike. He was the only breadwinner in the family at the time and we had two babies. He also had a part-time job in a store and he would put in some time on the picket line and then go to the other job in an attempt to make some money. We had many debts. A number of his colleagues never forgave him for that. It was a bitterness that lasted the next decade until he left that position.
