Labour Report Part 2

Now I'm faced with a dilemma. The Treasury Board of Canada (the people who sign the paycheques of most federal civil servants like me) has offered a new contract to the union that essentially amounts to a 2% cut in pay. This is pretty unacceptable, but on the other hand I'm not exactly in a position where I can afford to be on strike for any length of time. I get paid reasonably well, but certainly nowhere near what a similar job in the private sector would pay (but I also don't have to work the insane hours that I might face if I went private.) Do I vote to accept or reject the offer?
