There's Something You Don't See Everyday....
There is a single guy walking a picket line right across the street from me! Apparently the chemical plant is using non-approved workers for whatever it is they've been doing over there all week. I guess they wouldn't let him walk down in front of the main gate, so he picked the one right in front of me.... which is bolted shut.....
If he's still there when I go to lunch, I'll see if I can read what his sign says.....

It's from a kids' book. Protesters are helping to free Mrs. Carillon and one of the signs still had words from the Grape Workers' protest on it.littlebeast13 wrote:I have hit Google, and I still have no idea what that means......minimetoo26 wrote:Grape Mrs. Carillon![]()

The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I Mean Noel). Ellen Raskin. Great book.

Re: There's Something You Don't See Everyday....
What kind of non-approved workers? I guess there would be more picketers if it was a union thing.
There was a guy who used to picket with a big sign in the bed of his truck near some new shops in Bethlehem. It said we should boycott them because it was built with illegal alien labor. We just started calling the place The Boycott Shops and kept going there. They had a nice boutique-y grocer. My yen for good sheep's milk cheese trumped his call for boycott, I guess.

That's funny. You should go bring him a coffee or something, poor guy is probably lonely. How can you take a lone picketer seriously??

Re: There's Something You Don't See Everyday....
I went to get my glasses so I could read the sign without actually going out in the street, but I guess he's back in his truck now since I don't see him anywhere and the truck is still parked in front of my house (but obscured bu a tree)....marrymeflyfree wrote:What kind of non-approved workers?

Or, even better, take him a hernia jug of Pepsi, but make sure the public bathrooms in the neighborhood are locked.sunflower wrote:That's funny. You should go bring him a coffee or something, poor guy is probably lonely. How can you take a lone picketer seriously??

And it would be warm, but then again, it's supposed to start getting really cold later on today....

Re: There's Something You Don't See Everyday....
I just went out to get the mail, and he's still nowhere to be seen. Can't tell if he's in the truck or not, but one of the neighbors is out on the porch watching. If the one a few houses the other ways hobbles over here and starts chatting him up, that guy's gonna really regret it.....minimetoo26 wrote:He should stick to the Sternly Worded Letter, then.
