I guess the argument is that a politician should curry favor with the union and honor a picket line. Since Huckabee crossed the picket line, the union will naturally react unfavorably. It's much ado about nothing since everyone watching the show is also crossing the same picket line and Huckabee, as a Republican, does not count on any union support. Him crossing a picket line has about the same political impact as Reagan losing union support by firing the PATCO air traffic controlers. Which is probably what Huckabee is hoping for.
