"My grandpa was a union organizer back in the day, so I have great respect for workers on strike. But in this case, I can&amp;amp;#8217;t really side with them&amp;amp;#133; My friends went to a wedding reception at a popular restaurant in New York City. When they arrived, they were greeted by workers at the restaurant holding signs and picketing outside. Fine--that&amp;amp;#8217;s their right, regardless of what event is planned inside their place of employment. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s where I think they crossed the (picket) line: Those on strike approached my friends and other wedding guests with fliers written specifically to convince them not to go inside! And yes, the strikers were well aware there was a wedding going on because many were scheduled to work that day. Since brides and grooms get one day to celebrate their wedding, the picketers could&amp;amp;#8217;ve taken a couple hours off and continued their protest later--or they could&amp;#x27;ve at least done their thing without coming into direct contact with the couple&amp;amp;#8217;s friends and family. Luckily for the bride and groom, there was just enough wait staff to work the wedding reception. And the picketers didn&amp;amp;#8217;t go inside to further ruin the wedding. But of course, the newlyweds heard that their guests were accosted by picketers (some of whom tried to block the entrance!) and were reasonably upset. Worse, the powers that be at the restaurant didn&amp;amp;#8217;t do anything to make up for it. Have you ever heard a wedding horror story like this?
