Will workers who choose to strike be paid as if they performed work?

No.  We value our employees and fully respect represented employees’ right to engage in protected activity, including a lawful strike.  However, since striking employees are, by definition, not working, they are not eligible to receive their regular pay.  Additionally, federal guidelines indicate that we are not able to pay employees on federal grants if they are not working.  Employees who wish to receive their regular pay may perform their work during this time.
