I have been debating on this. I very often work with techs who are union members. As I have been working with and spend time on the phone years, I feel like they are buddies of mine and I would be very glad to see them face to face. I have not met tem before but know them by picture.
I realized there are very good chance I will come across them once I go.
If I approach and say hello, will they look bad to other union members picketting?
It is ridiculous you even have to ask this. These answers, and replies on other posts, should be enough to tell you no. I am sure there are some that make the rest look bad, but my god, they aren't just bad, they are not even human.
Definitely. That may buy you a little slack. It bought me slack in 2011.
don't WORRY WHEN THEY PISS ON YOUR LEG. IT IS THIR WAY OF SAYING HI.
Bring cookies. And don't wear red. They are drawn towards red. Wear neutral colors - maybe urban camoflauge...
You should definitely say hello...maybe go in for hug. Just keep an eye out for a shank.
