Enact a law to prevent union officials getting paid when their members are on strike

Additional Information

When a union have balloted their members, and a strike is called, the members lose a day's pay for each day that they are not working.

However, the people who arrange this do *not* lose their pay, as they are not striking.

A law should be enacted that would:
1. prevent the officials of the union (to be defined in the act, but should include area/region officials and head office staff with responsibility for decision-making, but excluding non-decision-making individuals such as secretarial staff) from receiving any salary for any days on which their members are on an official (legal) strike
2. prevent said officials from receiving any expenses (travel, subsistence, etc) for the aforementioned days

If the union officials believe strongly in the rightness of their members' strike action, they should be willing to lose *their* pay and expenses, in solidarity with their members.
