So... In October my company started discussing the possability of our divisions in Puetro Rico going on strike. I belong to a certain team who gets sent to troubled areas to be a SCAB and do the job they refuse to do when they decide to strike. (SCAB stands for "Still Collecting All Benifits") My company took my information along with other qualified members of this team and submitted them to the Puerto Rican Government for approval. I was one of the ones who was given approval. Reminder: this was back in October 07. As we finished off the year we had a few times that the team was called and put on high alert ready to fly out at any given moment, but never did it happen. Now I have been on a few strike forces some close some far but Puerto Rico would be the BOMB!!!
I planned our yearly ski trip for the weekend of Feb. 16 08 and the morning of Friday the 15 of Feb 2008 I got the order to book my flight and that I was flying out on Tuesday the 19th of Feb. I flew out of Chicago at 6:00 am and landed in San Juan Puerto Rico at 2;30 pm that afternoon. I knew a few guys from the other strikes who would be there Big Lar. for one he lives in ST. Louis IL. but the rest of the guys would be strangers.. Here is a picture of me in a Front load commercial garbage truck. More to come Bitches
