Looks like If you continue to work there you should be putting 1/4 of your checks aside in a special fund for instances where your job goes on strike. I worked in a factory where we stoked 2-4 times a year i was putting 150 a check in an envelope and not touching it so I could survive the strikes . As for now cut back to essential spending only buy food and rent and heat. and only fill your cars tank half way weigh cheap gas and only drive if you have to if you can walk walk, or ride a bike if the weather permits. As for your bills you are going to need to figure out what need sot be paid and call your bills and ask what you can minimums on tell them you are on strike make up crazy excuses do what you have to. I had a credit card that put me on financial hardship staus i could not use it but who cares it was maxed out.
Lastly you need to figure out if the strikes in your job are worth the job its self. Sometimes if you are gona be on strike 4 months of the year in a particular job is it really worth working there. You could get a less paying job and still make more annually than if you are on strike all the time . You would have to sit down to figure it out what would be OK to make for you.insurance ect. good luck its all about changing your life style when on strike those who are successful are the ones who win at that game curb your spending to only essentials and drive as minimal as possible when I was on strike I would drive to the bank, I would drive to get food and that was about it. at 225 a gallon if you have a big engine this could be a game changer. What about investments you have you can cash in investments to survive as well just remember you are on hard times only get the money you need . The credit cards will straighten out after you start working agian. ask your self is it worth sticking to this job if its only gona make you broke or if a new job in the long run will work out better for you .
