I think you need to go refresh yourself on what a strike is and the conditions surrounding it.
Employees have never been paid while on strike. That’s part of the whole thing. It’s a standoff to see who will cave first; the employer with no money or the employees with no money.
Unions occasionally have some system to partially compensate striking workers for lost pay, precisely to tip that standoff in their direction. Maybe they confused that?
Not all unions have that, I believe, nor do all jobs have a union and I’d be surprised if ATCs in particular had one.
