| Why stand around with picket signs? What good does it do? |
I was told to go to a factory to guard it once (I'm a uniformed guard). When I got there I discovered that it was a strike/lockout situation. The picketers were pretty cool, since I wasn't doing any of their jobs. The management even let the picketers use the bathrooms. Then I found out that at some other sites, there had been Molotov cocktails, and high-powered rifle fire putting out the lights. |

Basically, it accomplishes nothing. We had a tool shop in my hometown that was on strike for over four years  They finally built a semi-permanant shack to hold the dirtbags who were "picketing". After the first few months, they where phoning it in; One guy picketing during business hours. When a truck would pull up to the entrance, he'd come out of the shack with his sign and wave. Union monkeys.

Reminds of the the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer goes on strike from the bagel shop. |
