Striking Union Describes Some Drivers At Parking Garage As Idiots













Tensions have boiled over this week as drivers try to make their way through the picket lines set up outside the Chipman Hill parking garage.

The United Steelworkers Union claims four of its members have been struck by vehicles.

Area rep Laurence McKay tells CHSJ News one of the picketers was threatened before being run over with the driver showing no remorse and not even apologizing.

McKay says when something like this happens, the union will be calling police and pressing for charges to be laid.

 He's quite blunt when saying a few of the drivers are acting like idiots by using their vehicles as weapons.

 Picket lines have also been set up outside Brunswick Square and the Delta.

The strike action began last Saturday.
