They have been locked out for 16 months; the original reason given, in the failed contract negotiations, was the cost of health care. The real reason is a hatred of unions. The workers, prior to being locked out, were offered their jobs if only they would vote out the union. They voted to remain, and have been locked out since. They have been picketing ever since, and a fund has been set up to help them with their daily expenses at E-base.

Eventually, of course, we were made guests of the Santa Rita Jail.
