I received a 1099-nec for strike pay from my union. Inputing this into turbo tax, it has no clearly fitting option under type of income to classify it. please assist.

My options are self employment, farm income, hobby, lawsuit settlement, medical waiver payments that qualify as income, or income that should have been reported on a w-2. My best guess is to show it as hobby, but I am very unsure.
