This is only from a 1 week period in October, and only includes video of the picketers going after the replacement workers.
Right under the bedroom windows of Artspace members.
What is not in here are samples of the loud talking, laughing and shouting. Artspace members are being awakened by this as early as 5 am, and people are repeatedly awakened throughout this morning shift.
Having groups of antagonistic people hanging around outside our home is bad enough during the afternoons. This is happening in the early morning hours. AUPE begins to arrive at 5 am. Or 5:30. Or closer to 6. Some days they are gone by 7:30 am. Others, they are still around past 8 am.
Here's a quote from a supporter in an earlier post.
... all i know is that when we were on strike we were told the cops could arrest us for not continually walking, and for walking anywhere but on a designated area of the sidewalk outside the building we were picketing. this is ludicrous. ... and we complied because we didn't want to get in any trouble.
There is none of that here.
While they spend the bulk of their afternoons at the West accessible garden bed (now also 2 of the East accessible garden beds), in the mornings they tend to hang out in the parking lot driveways.
Or on the street.
Or in front of the townhouses.
Or at their vehicles.
Plus there's usually at least a couple at the end of 94th St., at the back of the high rise.
Basically, they just stand or sit around wherever the mood seems to strike.
On top of wondering why they are here at all, we have to ask, why is AUPE not held to the same standards of behaviour as other unions?
