I personally find this article, especially the postings of license plate numbers, wholly irresponsible and devoid of journalistic integrity. So the big bad stores hired private investigators to monitor the strikers. Big deal. It keeps the less responsible of the strikers from making idiots of themselves by going out and "sticking it to the man" by damaging property. If this footage is used at a later date by the supermarkets in retributatory action, then file a suit against the EEOC. But don't attack the stores for keeping track of a potentially unstable situation.","author":"KWC","parent_id":95452,"mime_type":"text\/html","created":"2003-11-29 08:21:52","modified":"2003-11-29 08:21:52","fileurl":""},{"id":95857,"heading":"PHOTO OF SAME GOON AT OCT. 22nd March","article":"This same goon was probably hired by the pigs.
