My picket line was right next to a bar. It's not there anymore but they made some serious jack back then. Two fisted on the line. Good thing it didn't last long back then, lol.They took the second week's strike pay for union dues but they brought us hot dogs to cook on the strike line. Could've at least brought us corn on the cob too! Lol
It was great seeing the public support. Those were the days.My picket line was right next to a bar. It's not there anymore but they made some serious jack back then. Two fisted on the line. Good thing it didn't last long back then, lol.
The Police Dept. in my town was even members of our same Teamster Local. We pretty much had free reign. Twice UPS brought in a management driven feeder (They were empty but UPS want us to believe it was business as usual) they were met at the UPS building by the Police and had to show their Class A licenses.It was great seeing the public support. Those were the days.
You know it buddy. We were national news. Back then I took it as a mini vacation though I couldn't buy as much weed. I had to become frugal. That time set me on a course for the better.It was great seeing the public support. Those were the days.

Louisville guy here. I remember being walked out after a talking to by Tom Trenamen(sp?). He came out with his usual 3 buttons unbuttoned shirt and his gold chains. Smoking cigs. I remember someone telling him no smoking on the ramp. "I DGAF!" he said. I loved Tom.Good times.
The company was still moving air to Louisville every night. I saw about 4 package cars in the parking lot across from the big truck stop by the interstate so I pulled over and asked the supervisors why they didnt meet at the truck stop by the letter box.
The look of terror that came across their faces was hilarious. They said "No way!".
People were so sensitive back then.
Yeah, we were on the first shift strike group when the center manager came to the strike line to chat. About 5 min later one of the ORS drove a pkg car back onto the lot and one of our veteran drivers said "Hey, I dont think ol JR has his seat belt on!" The center manager said "yeah he's wearing it." Now, everyone is watching ol JR and when he stopped the truck he stood straight up without unbuckling a seat belt. The center manager was hacked off. Oops.You know it buddy. We were national news. Back then I took it as a mini vacation though I couldn't buy as much weed. I had to become frugal. That time set me on a course for the better.

How would you hear them saying that to striking workers?For the most part the public was very supportive; however, we lost some of that support when the local paper decided to include our wage and benefit package specifics in an article they ran about the strike. After that ran we heard quite a few "get your overpaid butts back to work!" from those who made quite a bit less and did not have benefits.
I'm guessing you probably provided the information.For the most part the public was very supportive; however, we lost some of that support when the local paper decided to include our wage and benefit package specifics in an article they ran about the strike.
