In 2019, picketers able to prevent scabs from entering for a while, until company called in police. “We barely can make it but they got generational wealth. They got enough money for their kids’ kids’ kids to have money, but I’m struggling to just get my kid to college.” After 2019 strike, workers spent months fixing quality control issues. “We were fixing parts over six months because they f***ed up everything they touched.”

* Abuse is not guaranteed to come from strikers. In the event strikers do or do not deliver, the abuse will be delivered by management
