It's too bad that ramifications of the strike branch out to people who aren't responsible for the lack of compromise and settlement thusfar. However, the article notes that, "Rules prevent members from paying directly into health insurance. They must work to be insured." Perhaps this is something local 764 can look at to revise (even if only temporarily) so that health benefits may be purchased by union members who are unable to meet the minimum employee salary to be covered due to the strike. It's probably too late to consider this now with the year's end coming up quickly, but something to think about arranging for the future.
