practical ethics

Sydney's CityRail staff are not selling or checking tickets today, as part of a labour dispute. Vending machines will still sell tickets, but barriers will, apparently, be open.

So should I buy a ticket?  Perhaps I should discover some socialist principles I never knew I had, and out of solidarity with the workers, go out of my way to ride the trains for free.  Or perhaps I should pay a just price for services rendered.  Or perhaps I should just be cheap.  Ah, dilemmas.

The train ride to the airport is expensive, I'd be considering accepting the gift offered to you by the good workers of the Sydney rail network.
