Advise for supporting striking workers

I work for a large non-profit healthcare organization and we have a nursing strike at one hospital starting next week. As a result, they are bringing in tons of travel nurses and others to cross the picket line. I am in corporate IT (management and non-union) and am being told my team will need to help support the staff they are bringing in. Our executives make MILLIONS of dollars a year and I am disgusted that they won’t agree to the union terms. I do not want myself or my team helping these rats but I am an at will employee and not protected. In addition, there are patient lives that depend on healthcare workers using the EHR appropriately. Does anyone have advice? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
