[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1289191, member: 42270"] If the BA actually pulled the building and called the strike, then the local can/will absolutely be held responsible via injunctions and for financial damages as a result of service failures. If this was the case and 804 decided to invoke the clause in their supplement allowing them to strike if the company refuses to follow the grievance procedure, I'm sure 72 hours notice would have been given. If the drivers spontaneously walked off, it's a wild cat strike. While they still give up the right to return to their jobs as they would under a legally sanctioned strike, it's harder to hold the local responsible. This might have been why the local president/secretary-treasurer were "pleading" the members to return to work as a formality. Just from what I've seen/read/heard, I think the drivers pulled/signaled they would pull a wild cat, the BA assessed the situation and then he ran with it; he "pulled the stewards" hopefully before the strike so they couldn't be singled out for greater discipline (stewards can be punished more severely for an unsanctioned stoppage/slow down).
