How can small unions possibly fight big capital? Stuff like this is why it's easy to see anarchists as living in a dream world.

Hmm, well maybe I'd cross a picket line organized by a fascist union, if such a thing were to exist. But otherwise, "don't cross a picket line" is an axiom of solidarity, not some piece of rigid absolutism. If the workers ask you to do it, who are you to second-guess them?
