[QUOTE="25TOLIFE, post: 3645757, member: 34972"] Was young and had hair way back then. My kids were babies. Picked up a few painting jobs and worked nights for a competitor, at union scale, to make ends meet. Yelling obscenities at the bosses was enough to make it all worth while. Nearby companies would drop off food and we had the public's support. Local restaurant had $5.00 dinners and $2.00 tap beers for the picketers right next door to the building. Not sure if that would be the case today. Everyone out for themself nowadays. God forbid some :censored: does not get his Amazon delivery within 48 hours. I really think life was a little simpler a short 21 years ago. Had the strike gone on longer I'm sure my experience would have been way different. [/QUOTE]
