Here's some video going to the third day of the strike.
There's a tremendous amount of trespassing in this video, as well as aggressive and threatening behaviour.
The trespassing was justified because a new Artspace member invited them onto Artspace property; AUPE had taken advantage of this member, since doing what he did was an infraction of membership. He ended up leaving Artspace soon after, but not before things went pretty sour between him and AUPE.
AUPE seems to be very good at taking advantage of people - including their own supporters - then throwing them under the bus.
One of the remarkable things to watch is David Malka, Jaime Urbina (aka Urbina-Maclean, who was identified in security video as the picket captain) and some other guy engage in behaviour they then accuse security of engaging in. Just as remarkable is seeing Desiree Schell accuse the security guy of taunting the man who is behaving in a threatening and intimidating manner.
This is the sort of behaviour that has had many of us seriously question the psychological state of some AUPE picketers. I've said it before, and I suspect, I'll be saying it many times more;
Normal people don't behave this way.
