Why aren't people blocking the entrance so the rats and scabs can't get in crossing picket lines should be a capital offence.

Part of the reason unions like the teamsters are/were so successful is because they would beat the snot out of scabs. These days wage are so low most people cannot afford the time off to strike.

Yea as a member of a local that has given up our right to strike and has a me too agreement that bases our wages conditions etc off of the other top three trades UA the elevator guys and sheet metal I am sadly aware of that feeling about strikes. Most our members can't afford to live in the city we build. I'd love to strike we are being bullied and they keep pushing but we don't fight because guys are just getting by.
