A Clarification
Everyone,
I want to make sure that none of you think that I would urge you to strike in this industry, in this environment. I would, in fact, urge just the opposite. All of my comments previously in this thread involve trying to explain what happened at Eastern and why it happened, and should in no way be construed as a recommendation to do the same thing.
As Boeingman said some time back, there are just too many potential SCABs and people who have Publisher's point of view for a strike to be a viable weapon at this time (except, perhaps under very limited and specific circumstances). One caution though, get very familiar with the Railway Labor Act (RLA) and understand how management can use it to force a strike if they are so inclined.
Another thing: I don't think Publisher is a bad person. He is simply a person, and point of view, that we need to understand.
Regards, from someone who has been there and never wants to be there again,
