https://www.ketv.com/article/they-will-hurt-somebody-bad-striking-kelloggs-workers-get-hit-by-buses-on-picket-line/37994857
Omaha police said officers have been called to the Omaha Kellogg's plant in the past two weeks several times for disturbances, blocking traffic and even assaults. Kellogg's employees said the bus drivers bringing in workers to fill their jobs have hit several picketers. "There's no beating on the buses, no damage on the buses, just trying to slow them down as they come in. Our right is to picket in front of them," said Chris Haynes. There is video of Haynes falling after a bus hits him at the plant. Haynes has been a Kellogg's employee for 33 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4cypPX8cqs He said the bus driver intentionally hit him last week. "They're coming out too fast, coming onto a public street," Haynes said. "They're not looking, someone is going to get hurt worse than they already have." "The tensions are high for obvious reasons at the picket line as the buses are coming through," said Dan Osborn. Osborn is the president of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union. He said bus drivers carrying non-union workers into and out of the plant hit three Kellogg's workers on strike. Osborn said they are not breaking the law. "We say our piece as the buses come through, how we are shaming them for what they are doing to us," Osborn said. Osborn said none of the Kellogg employees had to be taken to the hospital. Haynes said he has a sore back and is getting more medical tests. He and another worker filed police reports. "First, I hope I'm 100 percent healed. Second, I would like to see a reprimand on those bus lines because they are driving dangerously," Haynes said. "They will hurt somebody badly," he said. Osborn also gave an update on the strike, itself. He said members of the Building and Construction Trades Council union will return to work Tuesday. That union's president said they still support Kellogg's workers, but they need to go back to work so they don't break their current contract. That is about 50 ironworkers, electricians, carpenters and painters. The strike continues for Kellogg's workers. In a statement to KETV NewsWatch 7, Windstar Lines, Inc. says it is aware of the situation. The company goes on to say "Our driver in no way intentionally hit a striking worker. There is video evidence of this incident showing that our driver did nothing unsafe or reckless at any time. We pride ourselves on our safety record". --- Newsom 2022 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm all for civil disobidience and standing up for your rights but it should be made illegal for workers and civilians to protest and block roads because it is a safety hazard. The bus driver who nudged the guy is wrong, but the protesters are wrong from keeping him from doing his job that has nothing to do with them directly. They should be mad at their shitty employers and not the driver. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why? Long as they aren't blocking a ambulance it should be allowed.Im not going to White Knight for a billion dollar company nor am I going to defend the bus driver for running people over, but if you were walking to work and I got in your way and tried to block you thatd be called harassment. How is it not harassment to try to stop a vehicle the same way? And its kind of fucked to demean strikebreakers anyway. Some people dont have the luxury to take time away from work while jeopardizing their job. Even if they do have that luxury, its completely fair that they care more about a paycheck that pays for themselves and their family than they do about whatever youre striking over. Assuming your priorities and needs are more important than theirs is just selfish. Your beef should be with your employer. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's one thing if you're already working there and you can't join the strike, it's another to specifically join after the strikes.

Bus was moving like 2 MPH. Clearly that's to fast for a healthy adult to get out of the way in time. There's no way he let himself get hit or faked getting hit to draw more attention to the cause.

Strikers (and most protestors in general) need to start packing when going to these things. There's always a danger of some right wing asshole or their enforcers running you over. This person was lucky the bus was going so slow.

I am under the impression that part of striking is disrupting attempts to bring in scabs. Striking exists to shut down production in an attempt to get the company to renegotiate more favorable terms. If it is too easy for the company to bring replacements in, then the company is able to continue running and can more easily outlast the strikers.
