Kate asks whether crossing a picket line to go to class means taking sides. (I don't really need to say which Kate, do I? We link often enough to the Kitchen Cabinet.)
My take on it is that, as a consumer (rather than a worker), changing your behavior based on the picket line means taking sides. If you were to avoid going to class based on the picket line, you'd be siding with the union. If I were to apply to Yale Law School based on the picket line, I'd be taking sides. But going to the class you've already paid for, in a program you signed up for two and a half years ago, is just going to class.
Of course, your judgment is as good as mine. Better, probably, since you haven't had four beers.
