The potential danger to the continued existence of the union rests with the adjudication of these fines.

I am confounded by the tortured tale of these negotiations. It is unfortunate that it had to come down to an illegal strike.

Without question, many people suffered severely as a result of this strike.

This is a very unfortunate event and an unfortunate day in the history of labor relations in this city.

A lot of people would not be sympathetic to the fact that the union would seem to be suffering. A lot of people would take the position the union does not warrant sympathy.

It was a truly frightening moment because we knew the potential danger we were in especially as we were out in the middle of the sea hundreds of miles from the nearest land.
