[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 4797597, member: 49065"] We had a strong local at that time, and the business agents did a pretty good job of organizing the strike line. The only trouble we had were from the other barns that walked with us out of support, but it was all verbal. I was told that during one of the shifts that they did not have enough members walking the picket line so they decided to put folding chairs to block the entrance to the building. The Company called the police to remove them and when they showed up they got out the billy clubs and beat the chairs into submission to remove them, heard everybody there were laughing or cheering them on. I do remember that one supervisor died during the "97" strike, he was killed driving a feeder run and lost control of his semi on the freeway... [/QUOTE]
