[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 73283, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]Interesting point and one many teamsters have been reluctant to discuss. We had a steward who objected to the strike. That brought on the anonymous phone calls at his house at all hours of the night. We had people who were "encouraged" to support the strike with visits from goons. I had approximately 50 people talk to me during the event about crossing the line. I actually tried to talk them out of doing so because I knew they would catch a rath of hell if they crossed. I understand the need for unity but I honestly did not see a true democratic effort to earn that unity. More reminiscent of the officers walking behind the line kicking the soldiors asses to move them into combat and shooting the stragglers.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]In the end its a glorious win for labor and a blackeye for upsers.
