Video of the Day; the disruption continues

Still going through the old videos methodically, by date, and have finally reached May 12; five days into the strike.

There is some video already up for that day on our Youtube channel.

This video is another longer one; almost half an hour.  There are several camera views of events that took place starting around 4:20pm, until about 5:40pm.






Some interesting things to note is that they are targeting the security guards more, again, though there's still a lot of abuse aimed at the replacement workers, too.

How any of this was supposed to persuade anyone to their "side," we just can't figure out.

There's one face that is notable among the picketers.

This is a screencap from the AUPE website.  Jason Heistad.

Another Executive member of AUPE, not only at Artspace, but actively participating in the verbal abuse and harassment.

Just a reminder that all of what you are seeing here is happening at our private homes.  Even the replacement worker vehicle is being blocked in the driveway of our above ground, private, Artspace parking lot.

When they block the security vehicle on the street, it's in front of the driveways in and out of the private, Artspace underground parking.

SAIL Inc., the employer, has the one unit for an office at the opposite end of the high rise from where this is happening.  There are a few parking spots near that unit's private entrance for SAIL staff.  It is only because there was no safe way for security to escort the replacement workers directly to SAIL's private entrance that they had to go through Artspace parking and use the high rise back door.

So all this noise and yelling and disturbance is not directed at the employer at all, nor is it anywhere near the place of employment.

This was all going on outside our private homes.

Even by this time, only 5 days into the strike, there were letters, incident reports and statements going in to the SAIL and Artspace boards, documenting the negative effects all this was having on people's health.

Meanwhile, this is still before things started to get really loud and disruptive!  No bull horns, yet.
