I parked around the corner when safeway had a strike...

the picketers were mostly friendly, and had some handouts...but I was looking right at them as I walked up to the store, so maybe they didn't think they would be able to intimidate me.

cut n paste (because I'm lazy)of my earlier post on another thread:

When I worked at TCI (which became ATT, which became Comcast) the installers and techs went on strike.

so they flew in other techs to do the work.

installs got done quicker. outages got fixed quicker, not to mention fewer of them to begin with.

pretty lame when guys from 600 miles away do your job better than you, and you're gonna go on strike.

not long after that, (when they came back for less than the offer they rejected) they voted out their union....the teamsters.
