--- Quote from: Marlin on Mar 26, 2008, 11:29 ---I was at Point Beach. The plant made a back road our access point for one day so that normal traffic would not see us and we could barely see the plant from our picket line (4 or 5 people IIRC). A young TV news man drove up talked to a couple of us and left somewhat unimpressed. The next day we were back to work with no noticable difference in anyones lives. Ahh the good old days....

Sounds very familar to what happened in our area. I actually recieved calls from Columbia SC and Oregon asking whether anyone else had walked. Henry was at Baxley GA at the time. I shot video and took it to WRDW in Augusta who did air it. I then attempted to have the storyand photos picked up by the AP but recieved a letter that read "do to wire contraints we are unable to run this story at this time".

What can I say, we were young and we believed that we could make a difference...

Rad Sponge:
What are you all talking about? Did you all try to organize an RP walk-out back in the day?

Marlin:
IBEW local 1500 (a national Local for contract rad techs) never saw daylight.

RDTroja:
It was a very loosely organized, poorly advertised one day walk out. I am not even sure that Local 1500 was officially involved in it... if they were they did not do a very good job of advertising it. I had signed a card and was working that day blissfully unaware of any organized efforts. Granted, I was not at an outage and was filling a non-union slot (training instructor) at the time, but I think I should have at least known about it... I was still a contractor and had a card.

We were both at Calvert at the time if my memory serves me right Roger. And Dick Scott was ready for any one that didn't come in that day!!!LOL
