[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 224601, member: 1664"] Rocky, The way I defended myself in 97' would be the same way I would do in 08'. Before I crossed the line I would stand in front of, or sit next to, everyone picketing and let them know I would cross the line, unless there was a rational argument for me not going back to work. If your question is about physical harm crossing the line ,that is your call. I am not a large person,6ft and 170lbs ,at best. I do have the "Rep" that no one lays a hand on me. Having said that, it is unnerving to have to confront people that you have worked with side by side for a decade and see in their eyes and the words they choose that they are in the mob(not mafia)/group mentality. The main thing is not to get in a situation that could cause you bodily harm. Strikes play out in there own time. Decisions are made behind closed doors, not the picketline. I wish I could take my own advice,if the a strike was called on terms that I considered wrong I would "Brown Down" and cross again, come what may. It is not easy to take a stance in a corporate/union battle and still act and think like an individual. I hope you never have to make the choice. PAX [/QUOTE]
