Thanks to everyone who has come down to visit our strike lines, not just in Portland, but also at other locations.
In Portland, we have guys from Yellow, Roadway, ABF, Reddaway, UPS Freight, UPS Parcel and even FedEx Freight coming by. Many of the Old Dominion guys toot their horns and wave, and we appreciate the fact that they slow down when they drive by our picket lines, unlike the replacement jerks driving our trucks, who have swerved at us in an aggressive manner multiple times. We alway tell them they are "number one" in our books, of course!
Then there are the other unions. We've had guys show up from IBEW, IAM (the Boeing people who are on strike over on the other side of town), UFCW, several different groups from the teachers unions in our areas, and the printers union.
Up in Yakima, you've got the same thing. Police from Toppenish and Union Gap have come to walk the picket line with our guys. Firefighters. The fine people at the school district. and many more.
Much the same up in Auburn, Mt. Vernon, Pasco, and Spokane.
All of our fellow union brothers and sisters have dropped off food, firewood, water, and just plain support.
You all are the epitomy of what the union movement is about, and we at Oak Harbor appreciate it very, very much!
Thanks to you all!
