Ideally, one of the men with her would have kick the crap out of him on the spot. Assuming that didn’t happen, the next best thing would be to have him arrested. No point playing games with these goons. Speak to them in the only language they understand...a boot in the teeth.
These unions are finally starting to get pushed back, we should expect them to get violent.
The CWA gave me one of my best examples of why to hate unions. Back in my hometown at a Telecom I worked at there was a CWA member who we wanted to fire because... he didn’t show up to work. Turns out actually showing up to the job is optional. After a long period of time working through grievenances and etc. he was finally fired.... and then he sued for discrimination. CWA protected this POS all the way.
I’m with ya, if I had seen that happen, guaranteed I would of been giving him a free unarmed combat lesson, and a painful lesson in respect.
