[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5571637, member: 49065"] I still have some of the Union newsletters from the “97” negotiations. That was the primary tool back then, one can imagine the media produced if a strike happens in 2023. There was a so-called expert on the news channels that was supporting the Company position back in “97”, I do not remember his name but I do remember he was busted for petty thief after the strike was over. We only had three people cross in “97” .. they only did it on the first day of the strike. The Company was calling members and asking them to report to work. One was a feeder driver who panicked, one was an auto mechanic from a different Union, he was dragged out of the building by his business agent and the other was a package car driver who retired 2 years ago that wore the tag if being a “scab” for over 25 years. Teamsters and elephants have a lot in common.. “We never forget or forgive”… Remember that those three just crossed for one lousy day. Anyone currently in our Union that is boasting about crossing a sponsored picket line is a fool talking nonsense or a coward. Once those lines are established we will eventually find out who you are and besides that the Company will make you their bitch, knowing full well that you are a traitor and can never be trusted.
