(21,294 posts)Read your history. Examine the difference between a "strike" and a "walkout."
A "walkout" is where the workers/employees of a company stop working. They may or may not form a picket or make other public statement about why they are doing so and what they want from the company.
A "strike" (which, by the way, is still LEGAL) is an action designed to bring all work at a given worksite, employer, industry, etc. to a complete halt.
Which includes non-violent efforts to block access, discourage scabs, etc.
Strikers died in the 1920s, attempting this. They put their bodies between workplace entrances and scabs, they stood up to company goons trying to escort scabs through picket lines.
What is the proper response to a strikers' picket line? If you want a better economic future, a higher quality job, respect for your work and your value as a worker and a human being?
DO NOT CROSS
That's the whole point. It's pretty simple.
