Unfortunately it was done by fellow workers who crossed and went back to work. We were the most northern picket line in the 2004 grocery strike so we had a very icy parking lot (Mamothh Lakes CA).
Many crossed and went back, others got temporary jobs and did not walk the strike line. We were down to about ten people who kept the line manned. It infuriated those who crossed and they harassed us on a daily basis. Management tried to have both my husband and me arrested. Didn't work. We ended up moving and finding new jobs. It was a small town with small minds.But we walked that picket line till the end of the strike.
