When the Volvo strike that we’ve covered heavily over the past week came to an end Saturday, one non-striking Volvo employee reports that she received an anonymous "congratulatory" phone call late that night.
When the employee answered the phone, the caller reported the tally of the vote to end the strike and reportedly said:
"Congratulations, you f***ing scab!"
It’s because of such hostility that the National Right to Work Foundation again acted on behalf of employees in the area today, seeking information about employee reports that police refused to protect them from union vandalism and harassment.
