[QUOTE="Undertow, post: 4796702, member: 4550"] I think we had one part timer cross in '97 on the first day. He went flying around the corner at an unsafe speed and nearly ran into some of the folks on the curb holding picket signs. He tried to blaze out about 6 hours later and perhaps fearing repercussions and/or retribution for his blatant disregard. Unfortunately for him, he ran the red light at the intersection while there were two squad cars parked directly across the street. I doubt anybody was more satisfied than I was to see him just forced to sit there and face the fact that he'd just screwed himself on several fronts. We had one full timer cross despite a bunch of us sating we'd chip in and help cover any basics he was struggling with. He'd never specify just what expenses he couldn't cover. The worst part for him was that 3 hours after he crossed in front of hundreds of his coworkers, the deal got done and the strike was over. Than in October he comes up to a group of about 6 of us and asks if our offer to help him out with money still stands. One of the guys standing next to me looks at him and stated "Go ask your friends in management since you no longer have any friends here." He wound up taking a route with a late start-finish time until he was able to transfer once it dawned on him that he'd burned every last bridge he had with any hourlies. [/QUOTE]
