Walking the Picket line

[jonumberone]

NY and New Jersey ports have successfully been shut down by the membership of the I.L.A.
It's my second Day out on the picket line
Today we are in violation of federal injunction sending us back to work
I have a feeling if our demands aren't met today we could be in for a long haul
Morale is high and I don't see us breaking. The Union has ordered us back to work but the membership is honoring the picket.
The Demonstration has been more than peaceful, though today some Special divisions of the Police have been more visible, with a stronger overall police presence.
I'm a little shocked at how much pride I feel walking out there and also how strong the response has been by my union brothers. I'm not old enough to remember any of the labor movements that took place in the past, but am certain if I was around back then, I would've been a problem.

Just sharing my thoughts and hoping to get this settled and everyone back to work soon!
