SWR strikers - does the Union pay their wages on strike?

[catfood12]

The South Western Railway drivers are striking for most of December. Do they just lose a month's money, or does their Union pay them when they're on strike ?

Just wondered, Google doesn't help.

Thanks chaps interesting. I've just suffered a return from London today. Miserable. I have commuted in the past reasonably contentedly, but it must be disheartening for commuters on shortened trains and a reduced service.

I though this thread was best off in NP&E too....
