[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1020137, member: 18225"] LOL... I'm in the Boston area. When Verizon was recently striking, I sheeted about 300+ packages as 'Non-Delivery/Strike' (or whatever the option in the DIAD is....probably 110 NDA undelivered). Got a vicious talking-to by my immediate sup-of-the-quarter, as well as my center manager, and later, the DM. I walked over the sup. With the center manager, I patiently explained that I simply wouldn't cross a picket line (didn't go over well, but I stood my ground). With the DM, I went 'diagonal' ([I]thanks Dracula[/I]), and got into a lengthy conversation about non-delivery options in the DIAD, as in, 'I simply could not deliver these 300+ packages since the POLICE were waving me away from the only entrance to the (company on strike's) delivery point, and why is there a non-delivery/Strike option in the DIAD anyway?", etc. I continued parrying with inane questions: DM dismissed me. I only have 5 years in with the company...I simply can't imagine what a strike now would look like. I'd just get another job, I'm not super-attached to this one. [/QUOTE]
