===================
It was '94-'96 when Giant went after the Teamsters. When I talked to the folks on the picket line to -among other things- get tips for the campaign I was working on, they told me the company was trying to get out from all the cba's with all its unions in order to win over Wall Street. I left the DC area after the campaign I was on got hammered with legislation paid for with our wages so I didn't get to see how the mess at Giant turned out. When did Giant finally go public?
