[QUOTE="Zowert, post: 3582521, member: 71957"] off topic; I worked for Boeing as a machinist before coming to UPS, we went on strike in 2008 for 2 months. Picket duty was interesting, while most people in the community were supportive there were more than a few haters driving by us yelling obscenities. There was one woman who would park across the street from us and shout, "Go back to work you overpaid bums! You should be happy you even have jobs!" So, yeah.. That's just something to look forward to if a strike happens. I'll never forget the buses with blacked out windows crossing the picket line, bringing all the scabs in to work. They'd park at an undisclosed location then take that bus into the factory so strikers wouldn't know who they were. However we'd find out who some of those people were and after the strike virtually NO ONE would speak to them. They were ghosts from that point on. [/QUOTE]
