The response of the union leadership was to oragnise a rally at the store she worked at. A memo was sent to all picket captains to get thier members to show up for this. It was an attempt to intimidate her to come back to the picket line. Thankfully she stood her ground. She was also right as the workers accepted the same deal they were offered 2 1/2 monts earlier.
