[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2015548, member: 5412"] I earlier posted about working at a refinery that had undergone a strike that turned nasty. It lasted several months, with employees on strike in danger of losing their homes/farms/kids college funds/kids in college, and the list goes on. Some decided the only way to keep what they had was to cross the "line", and go back to work. About 30 or so did. I went to work there about two months after the strike. Tensions were high whenever one of the "scabs that broke the line" was around. Lunch rooms would empty when one of them walked into it. When one of the "scabs was walking through the unit, it wasn't uncommon for a piece of metal or a tool to drop in their vicinity. Within a year all of them left, most in fear of their life. [/QUOTE]
