Paramount’s Van Ness Gate
Today I walked the line at Paramount’s Van Ness Gate, where I’ve done most of my picketing. I get nervous at this gate because there’s no traffic light, and it’s busy during certain hours of the morning. I’ve made a lot of friends there, however, and I enjoy talking with them as we walk the ten or so miles a day.
We had at least one Teamster refuse to cross our line. Several other trucks pulled over to the side of the road, sat there for a moment, then took off. Since the drivers never got out, it’s hard to tell whether they were respecting the line or just stopping for some other reason.
My cellphone battery was dead, so I didn’t get any photos. Not a big deal, since there weren’t many photo moments.
Tomorrow I’m heading to Universal for the 6am shift.
