He said Shell gave the strikers walking the picket line 30 minutes to get themselves, their chairs, ice chests and other equipment off the property.
Sounds like they’re doing more picketing than while on the job.
Fire them all. They’re already getting far more than they’re worth.
Only a union backed by powerful politicians would picket on the private property of the business they are striking
“Shell employees have pulled their vehicles close ... honked their horns and revved their engines.”
If the union gangst—I mean, picketers were allowed on Shell property, under certain conditions, because there is no sidewalk and the road runs along the fence, and the gangst—I mean picketers are failing to adhere to those conditions ...
Well, it looks like the Shell employees are just trying to get to work.
So run the picke—I mean gangsters’ a**es over!
The union could pay to install a sidewalk.
In the 70’and 80’s I had experience dealing with Steelworkers at a heavy industrial plant in a mid-sized corporation. Unfortunately, the three year contracts expired in the summer and these unearned vacations appealed to them for only one time did they not go on strike. We ran the plant with supervisors and office workers. Our corporate management did a good job of not bowing down to them and worked out good contracts - fair for both sides - not like the auto union negotiations.
These strikers played rough. They would use sling shots aiming ball bearings at car windows, often female employees, breaking the windows. The idea was intimidation, instead it made the gals boiling mad. Strikers would take nails and bend them into jacks, then driving along side trucks, 18 wheelers too, would throw the nail jacks under the wheels. The plant was in a rural area and many supervisors lived in the country. Sometimes they would strangely find an out building on fire in the middle of the night. This is the union way.
Just like 99% of all the roads in texas.
Wearing white after Labor Day?
Holding their teacups with pinkie finger extended?
How gauche...
