[QUOTE="LeapingShark, post: 1866109, member: 15618"] 1) No. 2) Information about the terms/issues surrounding the dispute seemed to be conveyed through the local news coverage. Inside the stores? If there were physical signs/posters I didn't see them anywhere. In any case, the oddly depleted ranks of checkers and the half-empty shelves were a glaring "sign" that a strike was definately going on. Outside the stores, there were picketers holding signs at every grocery store, every day, for months and months on end. Sometimes the strikers were merely lounging at the street curb sitting under umbrellas doing nothing (especially as the strike lingered through the summer into November and December), or sometimes they seemed to gather for much larger organized "rallies" in front of specific stores, forming blockades/tunnels and chanting or booing loudly at all the shoppers. One friend said he was physically intimidated and verbally harassed as he went to buy groceries near his house (south Orange County), so he grew to hate the picketers. At the local stores near me, there was one incident where the police had to be called in to clear the picketers away because they were causing a traffic gridlock in the parking lot. But other than that, the picketers I saw were friendly (most of them I recognized, they almost feel like "neighbors" since I shop at the 3 local groceries alot). On TV news clips we often saw picketers harassing the overnight/morning delivery truck drivers. The fun part about the whole deal was that throughout the entire strike, passing cars would honk their horns at picketers in a show of support; and since virtually every grocery store was on strike, there was alot of horn honking going on all over the place as you drove down various streets going from place to place.
