Don't know anything about "all centers across the country" but I can speak for CLT.
The pro union few would prefer you to believe that the police pod/camera, along with their overwhelming presence, was for the recent crime in the area and the white lines were for irrigation....both couldn't be further from the truth!! The police pod/camera and presence were in place to monitor the "protestors" and to make sure those white lines weren't crossed, the employees were allowed ingress, egress, and regress, and to ensure no one's vehicles were touched....this ain't California, the local police here aren't on the union's payroll!!
As for what "protestors"....yes, the pro union crowd tried to organize a one day ULP strike in CLT (like Gardena) but as our sources told us, they decided to pull the plug once they had lost "the element of surprise". As for this being a prank, then explain why "the man in the video" was politicking for the last three weeks begging drivers and dockworkers to join their crusade or to not come to work on Thur the 28th?? The FACT is almost all of the ones he ask either laughed at him or laughed after he walked away because the SUPER Majority no longer wants a union in CLT!! "Lost their element of surprise"...I'm guessing they finally got a dose of reality once they realized they have NO support!! How would it have looked when 20 or so CLT drivers were outnumbered by the union volunteers while 180-200 drivers drove across their picket line to come to work?? How would the local President, an elected position, look in front of his members when those 180-200 drivers crossed their line?? How would it look to those same members once they realize their President plans on wasting their money on a lost cause??
The bottom line is we welcome a strike, we want them to strike, so we can show the whole country, via the local news, just how little support they have in CLT and what a joke their little movement has become!!
