Ya and back in the 70s and early 80s all the foreign cars parked at the pit head every day. Why do you think we have virtually no car industry today, one out all out brothers, somebody has connected a wire they shouldn't have we cant have that. Companies left this country in droves back in those days, why should they put up with wildcat sticks, flying pickets, when they could get their product made a hell of a site cheaper and what's more without a threat from the likes of Red Robo, advising his members to go on strike at every opportunity.
