One Week
Why is it some folks feel the need to try and run you over? Why are they so angry that we're out on strike? For the majority of people coming out that gate it's a thumbs up, and horns honking. But, then you always get the guy that tries to mow down the picketers. I swear to God that one guy shaved my legs he got so close.
Then there is the people that get on the cell phone.....immediately after leaving the gate. You see driving and talking on a cellphone is illegal on the worksite. So everyone and their sister gets on the effin phone as soon as they leave the gate. What is so damn important that it can't wait 20 or 30 minutes until you get home?
One lady about had me crap my pants she changed lanes right in front of me, had a cellphone in one hand, a smoke in the other, and going what seemed to be 50 mph. I thought she was going to sideswipe me and several of my friends.
At one of the other gates they had some jerk in a Cadillac Escalade mow down picket signs every morning four days in a row. On the 5th morning, they had a Deputy waiting on him. When he was nabbed he was mad, because we already made 'so much money'. It was then explained to Mr. Anger Management, that we weren't striking over pay.....we were striking over the takeaways to our benefits.
It's been over a week and the company refuses to come to the table.
I'm not going to hide it anymore. Here is my union site.
