I’m saying that the commissioner has every incentive to call what they’re doing a “strike” and is literally the only source saying so. If you put a bunch of workers on unpaid leave, a lot of them are going to burn their sick time. That’s not a strike. But a strike would be illegal and would let them recall the workers, which is the whole point.

so you're saying 2,000 NY firefighters just called in for some other reason?

yes, we can call labor action many names, but it's still labor action... within or outside of union strictures
