re: #213 wrenchwench

No offense intended, but I can’t look fairly at the opinion of a Pinkerton guard about anything having to do with striking union members. You know the history. Yes, union bigwigs have the same rate of corruption and assholery as all other bigwigs, but I can’t get past the association with things like the Everett Massacre. Yes, it was almost 100 years ago… sorry…

BTW, plant management explicitly kept us Pinkertons away from the picket lines (at least in ‘98, when I was there) and hired another “specialist” firm to deal with that (read between the lines what you will). We had to man CCTV cameras peppered around the inside and outside of all the plant buildings 24/7 that they had installed, but for the most part, we just did our normal duties (which included entry/exit checks of employees and freight, as well as rounds after hours).
