AMENDED PETITION TO SHOW CAUSE WHY DEFENDANTS SHOULD
NOT BE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF COURT
To The Honorable Judges of Said Court:
Roadway Express, Inc., by and through its attorneys,
Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation, hereby petitions
this Court to enter an Order on Defendants to show cause why they
should not be held in contempt, and respectfully represents:
1. On Friday, April 8, 1994, after presentment of a
Complaint, affidavits and the posting of security in the amount
of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), this Court issued an Order in
joining the named Defendants, and all other parties acting in
concert with them. A true and correct copy of the said Consent
Order is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as
Exhibit "A".
2. At the time the Consent Order was issued, counsel for
the Chauffers, Teamsters and Helpers Local 776 Union ("Local

P.C., was present in the Courtroom and was made aware of the
contents of said Consent Order. Said attorney accepted service
for Local 776 and its members. True and correct copies of said
Consent Order were served on the parties on April B, 1994.
3. Plaintiff has reproduced true and correct copies of
said Consent Order, that have been served on the pickets at or
near Plaintiff's facilities, but the pickets and persons acting
in concert with them have refused and continue to refuse to obey
the terms of the said Consent Order.
4. Since April 8, 1994, Plaintiff has continually demanded
of Defendants and all persons and pickets acting in concert with
them that the terms of said Consent Order be obeyed,
5. The Defendants and others acting in concert with them
have violated and have shown their intent to continue to violate
the Consent Order issued on April B, 1994, by the following
actions:
a. At or about 10:45 a,m. on April 9, 1994, the
Defendants and others acting in concert with them caused and
permitted approximately fifty-four (54) pickets to mass at and
i
i
near the entrances to Plaintiff's facilities located at Roadway's
Carlisle facility, Middlesex Township, CUmberland County,
Pennsylvania, and walk across Roadway Drive;
b. During the morning hours, from approximately 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m" on April 9, 1994, pickets walked in a loop
across Roadway Drive in express violation of the Consent Order;
c. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 9, 1994,
approximately forty (40) pickets' cars parked in the emergency
turnaround location in violation of the express language
-2-
('
contained in the Consent Order prohibiting parking within 100
feet of the area;
d. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a Federal
Bxpress vehicle stopped and pickets circlod that vehicle blocking
it from entering the Roadway facility in express violation of the
Consent Order;
e. During the mid-afternoon of April 9, 1994, a
picket, identified as Bob Weakland, began using a large mirror to
harass security guards and management personnel; and,
f. At or about 5:40 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a picket's
car was parked in the emergency turnaround in express violation
of Section 6 (a) of the Consent Order;
g. At or about 7:59 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
shined spotlights in the eyes of security personnel for Roadway;
h. At or about 9:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
numbers forty-one (41) on line and twelve (12) more in area;
i. On April 10, 1994, Augie Tokis, a Roadway striker
who is approximately 6'4", carried a waist-high stick on the
picket line through most of the day;
j. At or about 7:15 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
pulled into Roadway Drive with an ASF trailer. Two individuals
stopped the trailer and talked to the pickets, The trailer did

! ,
I.
m. At or about 9:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a total
of one hundred ten (110) ~icketers were on Roadway Drive;
n. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, Sheriff
Tom Kline and Chief Sherman told Roadway representatives that
they had received a report of C-4 explosives strapped to a diesel
tank. Roadway maintains a one million gallon tank close to the
area of the picketing. The report indicated that the explosives
would explode at 11:00 a.m. Rupture of that tank would cause
extreme damage and would cause the spill of a hazardous
substance;
o. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, pickets
formed a line and would not allow a Verbose truck to proceed
normally toward Route 11. Pickets formed a line and walked very
slowly in front of the tractor trailer. The activity of the
pickets significantly slowed the progress of the tractor trailer
between the Roadway Carlisle facility and Route 11;
p. At or about 10:08 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a Leslie
Faye truck driver backed his vehicle away without entering the
facility after pickets crowded around his trailer, and a Union
leader talked to the driver;
q. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994, Chuck
Shughart approached a Miller Trucking tractor trailer driven by
Stephen Batalka, and talked to Batalka. Shughart required
Batalka to open the back of the truck so that he could look in.
Shughart also told him that he wished to examine the contents
after the driver picked up his load;
r. While the tractor trailer was proceeding toward
Route 11, pickets hollered, "People will follow you wherever you
-4-
go when you get to Route 11" (or words to that effect). Pickets
also chanted "scab," called the driver a low life and said they
hoped he could sleep at night. Charles Shughart also screamed
"It is going to be a long day, buddy, a long day;"
s. On April 11, 1994, pickets massed and formed a
line that blocked the exit of the same Miller Trucking tractor
trailer. Pickets moved down Roadway Drive in front of the
tractor trailer until it reached the area of Carlisle Trucking.
As a result, it took approximately 45 to 50 minutes for the
tractor trailer to proceed from the gate area to Route 11;
t, Once the tractor trailer reached Route 11, Steve
Hockenberry, a Union member and striker, followed the tractor
trailer. He stopped and took video of the tractor trailer, which
had been stopped by the police;
u. During the afternoon of April 11, 1994 and other
occasions, technical violations were also observed. Pickets were
sometimes two deep. Pickets were not spaced 4.5 feet apart as
they walked, as required by the Consent Order. Pickets were
close enough to be holding hands. Pickets' cars were parked
within 100 feet of the turnaround, Two pickets held and shined
mirrors at security and management to impede videotaping of the
unlawful interference with the Miller Trucking tractor trailer;
v. At or about 3:11 p.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
was proceeding toward Route 11 until pickets blocked him. The
driver, Ian Peters, tried to proceed throughout the gap in the
line. Andy Reiley, a picket, blocked the truck and pushed on the
truck and banged on the hood. Peters, a Roadway maintenance
worker, then backed toward the gate area (the gate area is
-5-
.",",,,~, ...~'.''''''.
closest to the Roadway buildings at the opposite end of Route 11
from Roadway Drive) at a slower speed, and traveled a distance of
about 50 to 75 feet. Mr. Peters stopped because Mr. Reiley was
saying that Mr. Peters had better not injure him in any way. At
this point Mr. Reiley hollered for additional help. pickets
threatened Peters by stating that the would bust his "fucking
head open; II
w. At or about 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994,
two (2) customers individually reported to me as they entered the
facility that they were intimidated by the requests to search
their vehicles. One woman was from Ascot Enterprises. The
second woman, who was accompanied by her infant child, was from
Thomas Marie Toll, and was visibly upset and exhibited stuttered
speech and kept looking around;

picket sign;
y. Throughout the day on April 11, 1994, pickets
routinely asked drivers of incoming trucks or vans to honor their
picket line, and interrogated drivers as to the type of commodity
they were picking up;
z. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Linda
Young approached the picket line and pulled behind a little metal
truck. She then heard the pickets yelling behind her, so she
looked in her rearview mirror. She saw the men looking like they
were going to walk in front of a little silver car (Wanda
Garman). They were yelling at Ms. Garman loud enough that she
heard them with her windows up and her radio on;
-6-
ae. At or about 3:40 p.m. on April 13, 1994, Bob McCoy
stopped his truck to permit pickets to cross Roadway Drive.
Pickets crowded around the truck and formed an inverted nun
around the vehicle ending at the doors. A picket held his
umbrella, so that the employer's video access to the right-hand
side of the vehicle would be blocked. Mr. McCoy's right front
-7-
aa. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Local 776
had a gray van stopped in the lane of Wanda Garman. The car in
front of her started to go around the van and Ms. Garman
followed. They were travelling very slowly. That is when Local
776 started to shout at them. Some of the comments were "slow
down," "you scabs," and then the one man gave them "the finger."
Another man made moves like he was going to cross in front of Ms.
Garman's car, at which time she had to apply the brake;
ab. At or about 9:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, pickets
blocked a driver from Burlington Coat Factory from exiting the
Roadway Carlisle facility. The vehicle was subsequently followed
and harassed by the drivers of a brown pick-up truck and a green
Chevy on a public highway.
ac. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 12, 1994, Bob
Sidenberry, the driver of a Ryder truck, who was picking up goods
for Lord and Taylor, was blocked by pickets for approximately
fifty (50) minutes as he attempted to exit the Roadway facility.
Pickets subsequently followed and harassed him on a public
highway.
ad. During the morning of April 13, 1994, ingress
and/or egress of at least three (3) trucks was blocked by
pickets.
tire was slashed. One or more of the pickets commented, "Oh
look, he has a flat tire," or words to that effect.
af. During the afternoon of April 13, 1994, Melissa
Stein, an employee of Roadway, was harassed while attempting to
cross the picket line.
ago Throughout the day on April 14, 1994, pickets
allowed egress from the Roadway Carlisle facility only if drivers
agreed to allow pickets to inspect the contents of the customer's
trailers, coming in and going out;
ah. During the afternoon of April 14, 1994, Sheron
Shaffer, a Roadway customer, was harassed, including the banging
of a sign on her car, by pickets as she attempted to enter the
Roadway facility.
ai. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 14, 1994, a truck
was blocked from exiting the facility. He carried no load. In
spite of assistance from the Silver Springs police, pickets
blocked the exit for more than thirty (30) minutes. A strike
captain was present during the incident.
aj. Incidents continue to occur on the date as the
amended pleading is being filed.
6. Said activity has necessitated numerous trips to the
facility by Middlesex Township police and the members of the
Cumberland County Sheriff's office.
7. Said activities continue even as this Petition is
filed.
8. Thomas Griffith, President, Charles Shughart, Business
Agent and other business agents and/or strike captains of
Teamsters Local 776, including Andy Reiley, have been present

during, or have participated in, certain of the incidents, which

b. During the morning hours, from approximately 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m., on April 9, 1994, pickets walked in a loop
across Roadway Drive in express violation of the Consent Order;
c. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 9, 1994,
approximately forty (40) pickets' cars parked in the emergency
turnaround location in violation of the express language
-2-
contained in the Consent Order prohibiting parking within 100
feet of the area;
d. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a Federal
Express vehicle stopped and pickets circled that vehicle blocking
it from entering the Roadway facility in express violation of the
Consent Order;
e. During the mid-afternoon of April 9, 1994, a
picket, identified as Bob Weakland, began using a large mirror to
harass security guards and management personnel; and,
f. At or about 5:40 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a picket's
car was parked in the emergency turnaround in express violation
of Section 6 (a) of the Consent Order;
g. At or about 7:59 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
shined spotlights in the eyes of security personnel for Roadway;
h. At or about 9:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
numbers forty-one (41) on line and twelve (12) more in area;
i. On April 10, 1994, Augie TOkis, a Roadway striker

picket line through most of the day;
j. At or about 7:15 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck

m. At or about 9:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a total
of one hundred ten (110) picketers were on Roadway Drive;
n. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, Sheriff
Tom Kline and Chief Sherman told Roadway representatives that
they had received a report of C-4 explosives strapped to a diesel
tank. Roadway maintains a one million gallon tank close to the
area of the picketing. The report indicated that the explosives
would explode at 11:00 a.m. Rupture of that tank would cause
extreme damage and would cause the spill of a hazardous
substance;
o. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, pickets
formed a line and would not allow a Verbose truck to proceed
normally toward Route 11. Pickets formed a line and walked very
slowly in front of the tractor trailer. The activity of the
pickets significantly slowed the progress of the tractor trailer'
between the Roadway Carlisle facility and Route 11;
p. At or about 10:08 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a Leslie
Faye truck driver backed his vehicle away without entering the
facility after pickets crowded around his trailer, and a Union
leader talked to the driver;
q. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994, Chuck
Shughart approached a Miller Trucking tractor trailer driven by
Stephen Batalka, and talked to Batalka. Shughart required
Batalka to open the back of the truck so that he could look in.
Shughart also told him that he wished to examine the contents
after the driver picked up his load;
r. While the tractor trailer was proceeding toward
Route 11, pickets hollered, "People will follow you wherever you
-4-
go when you get to Route 11" (or words to that effect). Pickets
also chanted "scab," called the driver a low life and said they
hoped he could sleep at night. Charles Shughart also screamed
"It is going to be a long day, buddy, a long day;"
s. On April 11, 1994, pickets massed and formed a
line that blocked the exit of the same Miller Trucking tractor
trailer. Pickets moved down Roadway Drive in front of the
tractor trailer until it reached the area of Carlisle Trucking.
As a result, it took approximately 45 to 50 minutes for the
tractor trailer to proceed from the gate area to Route 11;
t. Once the tractor trailer reached Route 11, Steve
Hockenberry, a Union member and striker, followed the tractor
trailer. He stopped and took video of the tractor trailer, which
had been stopped by the police;
u. During the afternoon of April 11, 1994 and other
occasions, technical violations were also observed. Pickets were
sometimes two deep. Pickets were not spaced 4.5 feet apart as
they walked, as required by the Consent Order. Pickets were
close enough to be holding hands. Pickets' cars were parked
within 100 feet of the turnaround. Two pickets held and shined
mirrors at security and management to impede videotaping of the
unlawful interference with the Miller Trucking tractor trailer;
v. At or about 3:11 p.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
was proceeding toward Route 11 until pickets blocked him. The
driver, Ian Peters, tried to proceed throughout the gap in the
line. Andy Reiley, a picket, blocked the truck and pushed on the
truck and banged on the hood. Peters, a Roadway maintenance
worker, then backed toward the gate area (the gate area is
-5-
"
closest to the Roadway buildings at the opposite end of Route 11
from Roadway Drive) at a slower speed, and traveled a distance of
about 50 to 75 feet. Mr. Peters stopped because Mr. Reiley was
saying that Mr. Peters had better not injure him in any way. At
this point Mr. Reiley hollered for additional help. Pickets
threatened Peters by stating that the would bust his "fucking
head open;"
w. At or about 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994,
two (2) customers individually reported to me as they entered the
facility that they were intimidated by the requests to search
their vehicles. One woman was from Ascot Enterprises. The
second woman, who was accompanied by her infant child, was from
Thomas Marie Toll, and was visibly upset and exhibited stuttered
speech and kept looking around;
x. On April 11, 1994, a picket had a stick without a
picket sign;
y. Throughout the day on April 11, 1994, pickets
routinely asked drivers of incoming trucks or vans to honor their
picket line, and interrogated drivers as to the type of commodity
they were picking up;
z. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Linda
Young approached the picket line and pulled behind a little metal
truck. She then heard the pickets yelling behind her, so she
looked in her rearview mirror. She saw the men looking like they
were going to walk in front of a little silver car (Wanda
Garman). They were yelling at Ms. Garman loud enough that she
heard them with her windows up and her radio on;
-6-
,.Y U..' _
"
aa. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Local 776
had a gray van stopped in the lane of Wanda Garman. The car in
front of her started to go around the van and Ms. Garman
followed. They were travelling very slowly. That is when Local
776 started to shout at them. Some of the comments were "slow
down," "you scabs," and then the one man gave them "the finger."
Another man made moves like he was going to cross in front of Ms.
Garman's car, at which time she had to apply the brake;
ab. At or about 9:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, pickets
blocked a driver from Burlington Coat Factory from exiting the
Roadway Carlisle facility. The vehicle was subsequently followed
and harassed by the drivers of a brown pick-up truck and a green
Chevy on a public highway.
ac. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 12, 1994, John
Sidenberry, the driver of a Ryder truck, who was picking up goods
for Lord and Taylor, was blocked by pickets for approximately
fifty (50) minutes as he attempted to exit the Roadway facility.
Pickets subsequently followed and harassed him on a public
highway.
ad. During the morning of April 13, 1994, ingress
and/or egress of at least three (3) trucks was blocked by
pickets.
ae. At or about 3:40 p.m. on April 13, 1994, Bob McCoy
stopped his truck to permit pickets to cross Roadway Drive.
Pickets crowded around the truck and formed an inverted "U"
around the vehicle ending at the doors. A picket held his
umbrella, so that the employer's video access to the right-hand
side of the vehicle would be blocked. Mr. McCoy's right front

tire was slashed. One or more of the pickets commented, .Oh
look, he has a flat tire,. or words to that effect.
af. During the afternoon of April 13, 1994, Melissa
Stein, an employee of Roadway, was harassed while attempting to
cross the picket line.
ago Throughout the day on April 14, 1994, pickets
allowed egress from the Roadway Carlisle facility only if drivers
agreed to allow pickets to inspect the contents of the customer's
trailers, coming in and going out;
ah. During the afternoon of April 14, 1994, Sheron
Shaffer, a Roadway customer, was harassed, including the banging
of a sign on her car, by pickets as she attempted to enter the
Roadway facility.
ai. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 14, 1994, a truck
was blocked from exiting the facility. He carried no load. In
spite of assistance from the Silver Springs police, pickets
blocked the exit for more than thirty (30) minutes. A strike
captain was present during the incident.
aj. At or about 11:00 a.m. on April 15, 1994, pickets
blocked ingress of a Black Freightliner truck with a Conrail
trailer as it entered the Roadway facility. The truck eventually
entered the facility. When the truck attempted to exit the
facility, pickets inspected the driver's paperwork. Pickets told
the driver that he was doing their work. Pickets told him they
would follow him for the rest of the day and protest. Pickets
blocked his exit from the facility until approximately 2:00 p.m.
One or more picket(s) in a pickup truck followed the Black
Freightliner truck from Roadway Drive to a location close to the
1--...'..,. '.-,.,..........
, ,
Conrail yard on Industrial Road in Harrisburg. Another car
approached and the occupants of that car threw rocks or other
material at a front tire of the truck.
ak. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 16, 1994, pickets
interfered with the right of a third party, Robert Diehl, who
owns property along Roadway Drive, to enter and/or exit the area
of the emergency turnaround. Mr. Diehl has threatened legal
action if pickets do not vacate the road surface and allow free
access on Roadway Drive in the vicinity of his property. He
fears that a sale of his property will be hindered, jeopardized
or defeated by the picketing and interference with ingress/egress
on Roadway Drive in the vicinity of his property.
al. At or about 11:25 a.m. on April 18, 1994, a truck
picking up a delivery for Rite Aid was blocked by pickets as it
attempted to exit Roadway Drive. The pickets slowly proceeded
toward Route 11. The pickets blocked the exit of the truck until
approximately 11:40 a.m. The driver refused to allow pickets to
inspect his truck, based on the nature of the cargo.
am. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 18, 1994, a Biddle
Company truck was blocked as it attempted to exit Roadway Drive
by pickets. The pickets slowly proceeded toward Route 11. The
pickets blocked the truck until approximately 12:39 p.m. Charles
Shughart was on the strike line and yelled, "Like this mother
fucker," or words to that effect, at management representatives
and security guards.
an. At or about 1:45 p.m. on April 18, 1994, pickets
flashed mirrors at management representatives and Pinkerton
security in an attempt to harass.

from Harrisburg Electrical Supply, who was picking up freight for
"Indeeco," approached the picket line and talked to Mark Page.
The driver refused to allow pickets to search or look in his
unit. Pickets told him it would take him 45 minutes to get out.
as. At or about 1:08 p.m. on April 19, 1994, the truck
from Harrisburg Electrical Supply tried to exit. The driver
would not allow the pickets to look in his vehicle. The picket
line then moved in front of the truck and blocked his exit for

Pennsylvania Distribution Center for AMP Incorporated off Route
114 in Mechanicsburg was damaged.

of four (4) vehicles picking up shipments for the New Cumberland
Army Depot were delayed for two hours and forty-nine minutes as

they attempted to enter the facility. Charles Shughart, Business
Agent for Local 776, and Andy Reiley, Strike Captain, were on the
line during the incident. The trucks eventually left without
entering the facility.
avo At or about 11:30 a.m. on April 20, 1994, Roadway

1994, one picketer, Kenny Burrows, flashed mirrors at Roadway
management and security personnel in an effort to harass and
interfere with videotaping.
ay. During the morning of April 21, 1994, pickets were
stopping tractor trailer trucks attempting to enter Roadway's
facility, prior to the time the trucks reached the picket line,
effectively forming two or more picket line locations.
az. On April 21, 1994, pickets began videotaping the
contents of tractor trailer trucks attempting to enter or to exit
the facility, and videotaping the drivers themselves, either in
their cabs or as they proceeded to the rear of the trailers to
allow inspection. Such videotaping is unnecessary and
intimidating.

Citation on April 15, 1994.
10. The failure of the Defendants and others acting in

THIRD AMENDBD MOTION POR BHPORCEMBN'l' ORDBR
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
Roadway Express, Inc., by and through its attorneys,
Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation, hereby moves this
Court to enter an Order enforcing the Order of Court of April 8,
1994, upon the following grounds:
1. On Friday, April 8, 1994, after presentment of a
Complaint, affidavits and the posting of security in the amount
of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), this Court issued a Consent
Order against the named Defendants and all other parties acting
in concert with them and set April 25, 1994, at 2:00 p.m. as the
date and time for a hearing on the enforcement of the Consent
Order. A true and correct copy of the said Consent Order is

and Ronald Tomasko, Esquire of the firm Ira H. Weinstock, P.C.,
was present in the Courtroom and was made aware of the contents
of the said Consent Order. True and correct copies of the said
Consent Order were served on Defendant Chauffers, Teamsters and
Helpers, Local Union No. 776 of the Brotherhood of Teamsters and
Thomas B. Griffith, President, Individually, and John and Jane
Does, Individually, all individually and as Trustees ad litem on
April 8, 1994. Service was accepted by counsel to Local 776.
3. Plaintiff has reproduced true and correct copies of
said Consent Order that have been served on the pickets at or
near Plaintiff's facilities, but the persons and pickets acting
in concert with them have refused and continue to refuse to obey
the terms of the said Consent Order.
4. Since April 8, 1994, Plaintiff has continually demanded
of Defendants and all persons and pickets acting in concert with
them that the terms of said Consent Order be obeyed.
5. The Defendants and others acting in concert with them
have violated and have shown their intent to continue to violate
the Consent Order issued on April 8, 1994, by the following
actions:
a. At or about 10:45 a.m. on April 9, 1994, the
Defendants and others acting in concert with them caused and
permitted approximately fifty-four (54) pickets to mass at and
near the entrances to Plaintiff's facilities located at Roadway's
Carlisle facility, Middlesex Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and walk across Roadway Drive;

b. During the morning hours, from approximately 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m., on April 9, 1994, pickets walked in a loop
across Roadway Drive in express violation of the Consent Order;
c. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 9, 1994,
approximately forty (40) pickets' cars parked in the emergency
turnaround location in violation of the express language
contained in the Consent Order prohibiting parking within 100
feet of the area;
d. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a Federal
Express vehicle stopped and pickets circled that vehicle blocking
it from entering the Roadway facility in express violation of the
Consent Order;
e. During the mid-afternoon of April 9, 1994, a
picket, identified as Bob Weakland, began using a large mirror to
harass security guards and management personnel; and,
-
f. At or about 5:40 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a picket's
car was parked in the emergency turnaround in express violation
of Section 6 (a) of the Consent Order;
g. At or about 7:59 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
shined spotlights in the eyes of security personnel for Roadway;
h. At or about 9:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
numbers forty-one (41) on line and twelve (12) more in area;
i. On April 10, 1994, Augie Tokis, a Roadway striker
who is approximately 6'4", carried a waist-high stick on the
picket line through most of the day;
j. At or about 7:15 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
pulled into Roadway Drive with an ASF trailer. Two individuals
-3-
stopped the trailer and talked to the pickets. The trailer did
not proceed into the facility;
k. At or about 7:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, there
were a total of sixty-three (63) pickets on Roadway Drive;
l. At or about 9:10 a.m. on April 11, 1994, fifty-
nine (59) cars were parked on Roadway Drive;
m. At or about 9:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a total
of one hundred ten (110) picketers were on Roadway Drive;
n. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, Sheriff
Tom Kline and Chief Sherman told Roadway representatives that
they had received a report of C-4 explosives strapped to a diesel
tank. Roadway maintains a one million gallon tank close to the
area of the picketing. The report indicated that the explosives
would explode at 11:00 a.m. Rupture of that tank would cause
extreme damage and would cause the spill of a hazardous
substance;
o. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, pickets
formed a line and would not allow a Verbose truck to proceed
normally toward Route 11. Pickets formed a line and walked very
slowly in front of the tractor trailer. The activity of the
pickets significantly slowed the progress of the tractor trailer
between the Roadway Carlisle facility and Route 11;
p. At or about 10:08 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a Leslie
Faye truck driver backed his vehicle away without entering the
facility after pickets crowded around his trailer, and a Union
leader talked to the driver;
q. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994, Chuck
Shughart approached a Miller Trucking tractor trailer driven by
-4-
---
_-";~n;t
"'..',
Stephen Batalka, and talked to Batalka. Shughart required
Batalka to open the back of the truck so that he could look in.
Shughart also told him that he wished to examine the contents
after the driver picked up his load;
r. While the tractor trailer was proceeding toward
Route 11, pickets hollered, "People will follow you wherever you
go when you get to Route 11" (or words to that effect). Pickets
also chanted "scab," called the driver a low life and said they
hoped he could sleep at night. Charles Shughart also screamed
"It is 'going to be a long day, buddy, a long day;"
s. On April 11, 1994, pickets massed and formed a
line that blocked the exit of the same Miller Trucking tractor
trailer. Pickets moved down Roadway Drive in front of the
tractor trailer until it reached the area of Carlisle Trucking.
As a result, it took approximately 45 to 50 minutes for the
tractor trailer to proceed from the gate area to Route 11;
t. Once the tractor trailer reached Route 11, Steve
Hockenberry, a Union member and striker, followed the tractor
trailer. He stopped and took video of the tractor trailer, which
had been stopped by the police;
u. During the afternoon of April 11, 1994 and other
occasions, technical violations were also observed. Pickets were
sometimes two deep. Pickets were not spaced 4.5 feet apart as
they walked, as required by the Consent Order. Pickets were
close enough to be holding hands. Pickets' cars were parked
within 100 feet of the turnaround. Two pickets held and shined
mirrors at security and management to impede videotaping of the
unlawful interference with the Miller Trucking tractor trailer;
-5-
v. At or about 3:11 p.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
was proceeding toward Route 11 until pickets blocked him. The
driver, Ian Peters, tried to proceed throughout the gap in the
line. Andy Reiley, a picket, blocked the truck and pushed on the
truck and banged on the hood. Peters, a Roadway maintenance
worker, then backed toward the gate area (the gate area is
closest to the Roadway buildings at the opposite end of Route 11
from Roadway Drivel at a slower speed, and traveled a distance of
about 50 to 75 feet. Mr. Peters stopped because Mr. Reiley was
saying that Mr. Peters had better not injure him in any way. At
this point Mr. Reiley hollered for additional help. Pickets
threatened Peters by stating that the would bust his "fucking
head open;"
w. At or about 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994,
two (2) customers individually reported to me as they entered the
facility that they were intimidated by the requests to search
their vehicles. One woman was from Ascot Enterprises. The
second woman, who was accompanied by her infant child, was from
Thomas Marie Toll, and was visibly upset and exhibited stuttered
speech and kept looking around;
x. On April 11, 1994, a picket had a stick without a
picket sign;
y. Throughout the day on April 11, 1994, pickets
routinely asked drivers of incoming trucks or vans to honor their
picket line, and interrogated drivers as to the type of commodity
they were picking up;
z. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Linda
Young approached the picket line and pulled behind a little metal

truck. She then heard the pickets yelling behind her, so she
looked in her rearview mirror. She saw the men looking like they
were going to walk in front of a little silver car (Wanda
Garman). They were yelling at Ms. Garman loud enough that she
heard them with her windows up and her radio on;
aa. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Local 776
had a gray van stopped in the lane of Wanda Garman. The car in
front of her started to go around the van and Ms. Garman
followed. They were travelling very slowly. That is when Local
776 started to shout at them. Some of the comments were "slow
down," "you scabs," and then the one man gave them "the finger."
Another man made moves like he was going to cross in front of Ms.
Garman's car, at which time she had to apply the brake; and,
ab. At or about 9:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, pickets
blocked a driver from Burlington Coat Factory from exiting the
Roadway Carlisle facility. The vehicle was subsequently followed
and harassed by the drivers of a brown pick-up truck and a green
Chevy on a public highway.
ac. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 12, 1994, John
Sidenberry, the driver of a Ryder truck, who was picking up goods
for Lord and Taylor, was blocked by pickets for approximately
fifty (50) minutes as he attempted to exit the Roadway facility.
Pickets subsequently followed and harassed him on a public
highway.
ad. During the morning of April 13, 1994, ingress
and/or egress of at least three (3) trucks was blocked by
pickets.
-7-
f:,~~.:i7::<~~ '
ae. At or about 3:40 p.m. on April 13, 1994, Bob McCoy
stopped his truck to permit pickets to cross Roadway Drive.
Pickets crowded around the truck and formed an inverted "U"
i
d

~
around the vehicle ending at the doors. A picket held his
umbrella, so that the employer's video access to the right-hand
side of the vehicle would be blocked. Mr. McCoy's right front
tire was slashed. One or more of the pickets commented, "Oh
look, he has a flat tire," or words to that effect.
af. During the afternoon of April 13, 1994, Melissa
Stein, an employee of Roadway, was harassed while attempting to
cross the picket line.
ago Throughout the day on April 14, 1994, pickets
allowed egress from the Roadway Carlisle facility only if drivers
agreed to allow pickets to inspect the contents of the customer's
trailers, coming in and going out;
ah. During the afternoon of April 14, 1994, Sheron
Shaffer, a Roadway customer, was harassed, including the banging
of a sign on her car, by pickets as she attempted to enter the
Roadway facility.
ai. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 14, 1994, a truck
was blocked from exiting the facility. He carried no load. In
spite of assistance from the Silver Springs police, pickets
blocked the exit for more than thirty (30) minutes. A strike
captain was present during the incident.
aj. At or about 11:00 a.m. on April 15, 1994, pickets
blocked ingress of a Black Freightliner truck with a Conrail
trailer as it entered the Roadway facility. The truck eventually
entered the facility. When the truck attempted to exit the
-8-
t ..." ;:,~",'~"'"
facility, pickets inspected the driver's paperwork. Pickets told
the driver that he was doing their work. Pickets told him they
would follow him for the rest of the day and protest. Pickets
blocked his exit from the facility until approximately 2:00 p.m.
One or more picket(s) in a pickup truck followed the Black
Freightliner truck from Roadway Drive to a location close to the
Conrail yard on Industrial Road in Harrisburg. Another car
approached and the occupants of that car threw rocks or other
material at a front tire of the truck.
ak. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 16, 1994, pickets
interfered with the right of a third party, Robert Diehl, who
owns property along Roadway Drive, to enter and/or exit the area
of the emergency turnaround. Mr. Diehl has threatened legal
action if pickets do not vacate the road surface and allow free
access on Roadway Drive in the vicinity of his property. He
fears that a sale of his property will be hindered, jeopardized
or defeated by the picketing and interference with ingress/egress
on Roadway Drive in the vicinity of his property.
al. At or about 11:25 a.m. on April 18, 1994, a truck
picking up a delivery for Rite Aid was blocked by pickets as it
attempted to exit Roadway Drive. The pickets slowly proceeded
toward Route 11. The pickets blocked the exit of the truck until
approximately 11:40 a.m. The driver refused to allow pickets to
inspect his truck, based on the nature of the cargo.
am. At or about l2:30 p.m. on April 18, 1994, a Biddle
Company truck was blocked as it attempted to exit Roadway Drive
by pickets. The pickets slowly proceeded toward Route 11. The
pickets blocked the truck until approximately 12:39 p.m. Charles
-9-
Shughart was on the strike line and yelled, "Like this mother
fucker," or words to that effect, at management representatives
and security guards.
an. At or about 1:45 p.m. on April 18, 1994, pickets
flashed mirrors at management representatives and Pinkerton
security in an attempt to harass.
ao. At or about 2:25 p.m. on April 18, 1994, pickets
blocked a Visible System truck from exiting Roadway Drive.
ap. At or about 3:25 p.m. on April 18, 1994, a picket,
Greg Gates, stepped in front of a truck to make it appear that he
had been struck and injured by the truck. Brian Stambaugh, a
strike captain, was present on the picket line at the time.
aq. At or about 3:42 p.m. on April 18, 1994, a New
Deal truck was blocked by pickets as it attempted to exit Roadway
Drive. The pickets proceeded slowly toward Route 11. The
pickets blocked the truck until approximately 3: 55 p.-m.
ar. At or about 12:53 p.m. on April 19, 1994, a truck
from Harrisburg Electrical Supply, who was picking up freight for
"Indeeco," approached the picket line and talked to Mark Page.
The driver refused to allow pickets to search or look in his
unit. Pickets told him it would take him 45 minutes to get out.
as. At or about 1:08 p.m. on April 19, 1994, the truck
from Harrisburg Electrical Supply tried to exit. The driver
would not allow the pickets to look in his vehicle. The picket
line then moved in front of the truck and blocked his exit for
almost thirty (30l minutes.

at. On or about April 19, 1994, a Roadway unit at the
Pennsylvania Distribution Center for AMP Incorporated off Route
114 in Mechanicsburg was damaged.
au. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 20, 1994, ingress
of four (4) vehicles picking up shipments for the New Cumberland
Army Depot were delayed for two hours and forty-nine minutes as
they attempted to enter the facility. Charles Shughart, Business
Agent for Local 776, and Andy Reiley, Strike Captain, were on the
line during the incident. The trucks eventually left without
entering the facility.
avo At or about 11:30 a.m. on April 20, 1994, Roadway
Drive was totally blocked by: (1) a vehicle (hot dog van)
operated by the Union; (2) a vehicle operated by Charles
Shughart; and (3) trucks for the New Cumberland Army Depot.
aw. At or about 11:30 a.m. on April 20, 1994, a picket
attempted to block videotaping of the blockage of New Cumberland
Army Depot trucks by using a blue and white umbrella.
ax. At various times throughout the day on April 20,
1994, one picketer, Kenny Burrows, flashed mirrors at Roadway
management and security personnel in an effort to harass and
interfere with videotaping.
ay. During the morning of April 21, 1994, pickets were
stopping tractor trailer trucks attempting to enter Roadway's
facility, prior to the time the trucks reached the picket line,
effectively forming two or more picket line locations.

az. On April 21, 1994, pickets began videotaping the
contents of tractor trailer trucks attempting to enter or to exit
the facility, and videotaping the drivers themselves, either in
their cabs or as they proceeded to the rear of the trailers to
allow inspection. Such videotaping is unnecessary and
intimidating.
bb. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 22, 1994, with
Charles Shughart on the picket line, pickets delayed entry of
vehicle picking up cargo for the New Cumberland Army Depot. The
pickets also delayed egress of the same vehicles on the same day.
bc. At or about 2:14 p.m. on April 22, 1994, pickets
interfered with the egress of vehicles picking up a shipment for
Caldor as it exited the facility. Pickets had blocked ingress of
the same vehicles earlier that day.
bd. At or about 4:30 p.m. on April 22, 1994, pickets
interfered with the exit of employees from the facility.
be. At numerous times, including April 20, 22 and 25,
1994, pickets continued to utilize mirrors to harass and impede
videotaping by management representatives and security guards.
bf. At or about 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on April 25,
1994, pickets flashed mirrors at Roadway employees as they
attempted to drive into the facility, for purposes of harassment.
bg. On numerous occasions including, but not limited
to, April 22 and 25, 1994, pickets violated the technical
requirements of the Consent Order regarding spacing, use of one
-12-

picket line, location and other provisions regarding harassment
of employees.
bh. Incidents continue to occur on the date as the
third amended pleading is being filed.
6. Defendants and others acting in concert with them have
shown no intent to comply with said Consent Order.
Wherefore, Plaintiff moves this Court to enter an Order for
enforcement of the Consent Order issued on April 8, 1994, and
respectfully requests that all costs of enforcement be assessed
against the Defendants.

COMPLAINT
To The Honorable, The Judges of Said Court:
Roadway Express, Inc. (hereinafter "Roadway"), by and
through its attorney, Buchanan Ingersoll Professional
Corporation, complains of the Defendants and says:
1. The Plaintiff, Roadway, a corporation organized and
operating pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, is registered to do business in the State of
Delaware, is doing business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
and has facilities in Middlesex Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, located at 100 Roadway Drive, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania 17013 ("Carlisle facility").
2. Plaintiff, Roadway, is engaged in the business of
trucking, warehousing and common carriage at its Carlisle
facility.
3. The Defendant, Chauffers, Teamsters and Helpers, Local
Union No. 776 of the Brotherhood of Teamsters (herein referred to
as "Local 776") and Thomas B. Griffith, President, Local 776, is
an unincorporated labor association having its principal office
at 2552 Jefferson Street, in Harrisburg, Dauphin County,
(,.. "'"'"
Pennsylvania 17110-2519, and regularly conducts union business in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the County of Cumberland and
represents several hundred workers employed by Roadway at its
Carlisle facility.
4. The Defendant, Thomas B. Griffith, President of Local
Union No. 776, maintains a business address at 2552 Jefferson
Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17110.
5. In addition to the aforesaid Defendants, there are
engaged by and acting for and on behalf of and for the benefit
and at the instance and direction of the said Defendants, certain
and various other persons whom the Plaintiff is presently unable
to identify by name, who have been and who are presently
participating in the acts and in the course of conduct
hereinafter complained in conjunction, concert and conspiracy
with the aforesaid Defendants and as such are named and joined as
"John and Jane Does."
6. In January, 1994, representatives of trucking
companies, including Roadway, began to negotiate a new National
Master Freight Agreement, a nationwide collective bargaining
agreement. In addition, negotiations commenced for a Central
Pennsylvania Supplement ("Supplement"), which would cover, among
others, the several hundred employees employed by Roadway at its
Carlisle facility. Since that time, representatives of Central
Pennsylvania Negotiation Committee and Local 776 have met on
numerous occasions for the purpose of negotiating the Supplement.
These negotiations have been unsuccessful.
7. The National Master Freight Agreement expired at
midnight on March 31, 1994. By agreement of the parties, an
-2-
t1J1iIAi~'-;
ii
~
~.oo!_"
extension was in place from April 1, 1994 through AprilS, 1994.
Commencing on or about April 6, 1994, at or about 12:01 a.m., the
Defendant Union and various members, adherents or supporters of
the above-named Defendant went on strike against Roadway and did
commence picketing Carlisle facility at 100 Roadway Drive,
Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013.
8. On or about April 6, 1994, at or about 12:01 a.m., the
Defendant Union and various members, adherents and supporters of
the said Defendant did commence to picket in such a fashion that
it was impossible for certain vehicles to enter or leave the
Plaintiff's Carlisle facility. The Defendants have at all times
maintained picketing as follows:
a. The massing of up to 300 pickets;
b. Sufficient number of pickets to prevent the
ingress/egress of trucks; and,
c. Blocking of portions of Roadway Drive by parking
picketers' vehicles on both sides of the road so
that access is restricted to one (1) lane. The
one (1) lane restriction means that vehicles
cannot pass one another on Roadway Drive. If two
(2) tractor trailers use the road at the same
time, one (1) of the two (2) tractor trailers must
back up to allow the other to pass. Since Roadway
Drive is an 'S'-shaped curve, the backing up of
any tractor trailer is both difficult and
dangerous.
Additionally, the massing of pickets provided time and
cover for a picket to damage the brake lines of a tractor
-3-
,X:-
trailer. Damage by this picket caused the brakes to freeze and
the tractor trailer to further block ingress/egress to the
Carlisle facility until the tractor trailer could be repaired.
9. By these unlawful acts, the Defendants have deprived
the Plaintiff, its officers, executives, agents, employees and
the persons, of the right of ingress and egress to and from the
facilities of Carlisle, and have by coercion and intimidation
interfered with and obstructed their right and lawful attempts to
enter the said Carlisle facility to perform lawful activities.
10. By such means, the Defendants have prevented the
_'r-.
T
p.
I.

. ~;{.
1';
Plaintiff from:
a. Conducting its business, conserving its property
and carrying on those lawful, essential and
necessary activities;
b. Providing for the protection and maintenance of
its equipment, machinery and supplies.
11. The Defendants and other persons acting under their
direction and authority and in concert with Defendants, have
continued and persisted in their unlawful conduct and have
threatened to continue to pursue their course of intimidation and
coercion as averred above.
12. The Defendants and other persons acting under their
direction and authority and in concert with Defendants, have
advised and threatened that they will carry out and pursue such
course of intimidation and coercion that inevitably will cause
further substantial and irreparable damage and injury to the
business and property of the Plaintiff unless restrained by law.
-4-
~.
,...'... f~
13. The Defendants and those associated with them under
their direction and authority are persons of limited means and
have no financial resources that would enable the Plaintiff to
recover from the Defendants and those associated with them, the
losses that their unlawful and malicious conduct and acts impose
and will continue to impose upon the Plaintiff.
14. Because of the continuing unlawful and malicious
conduct of the Defendants and other persons acting under their
direction and authority and in concert with them, and because of
the inability or unwillingness of the local police to control the
situation, the situation is so serious and urgent as to require
the issuance of a preliminary injunction without hearing.
15. Because of the substantial and irreparable injury that
is being caused by the unlawful acts of the Defendants, the
Plaintiff is without adequate remedy at law and is entitled to a
preliminary injunction to restore to it the lawful use of its
property, the right to employ in and about its business those
persons who desire to work for that purpose and the right to
continue the operation of its business unhindered and
uninterrupted by the unlawful and malicious acts of Defendants.
16. Counsel for the Plaintiff has notified the principal
office of Defendant Union and the office of Defendants' legal
counsel of Plaintiff's intention to request a preliminary
injunction without hearing and will advise said offices of the
time of the hearing with the Court on Plaintiff's request for a
preliminary injunction.
17. The Plaintiff requests the Court:
-5-
a. To enjoin the Defendants and their officers,
agents, employees and members, and those acting in
concert with them, or having notice of the Court's
Order, temporarily until hearing, and perpetually
thereafter from:
1. seizing, obstructing or interfering in any
way by threats or otherwise with the free and
complete access, egress or ingress by anyone
from any of the facilities of the Plaintiff;
2. directly or indirectly impeding, obstructing,
hampering or interfering with the business or
operations of the Plaintiff;
3. directly or indirectly interfering with the
deliveries, unloading and dispatch of
supplies, materials and equipment to and from
Plaintiff's facilities;
4. inducing or attempting to induce by any
threats of force or violence any customers,
subcontractors or employees of the Plaintiff
to not enter any of Plaintiff's facilities;
5. interfering with, hindering or annoying any
employees, agents or representatives of the
Plaintiff who may desire to enter or leave
any of the facilities of the Plaintiff for
any purpose, by force or displays of force,
by numbers, by threats, by acts of
intimidation or violence or by any conduct
that tends to deprive any such employee or
other person of the free enjoyment of his
legal rights or access to and from the
Plaintiff's facilities;
6. having, causing or permitting more than two
(2) pickets at any time to be at or remain
near any entrance or exit of any facility of
the Plaintiff, such pickets to remain off the
property of the Plaintiff, to be in motion,
to be spaced in a single line at least ten
(10) feet apart, and to conduct themselves in
such a manner as not to block the use of the
entrances or exits for ingress or egress of
any person or vehicle desiring to enter or

MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF INJUNCTION
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Roadway Express, Inc.
("Roadway") by and through its undersigned attorneys, and submits
the following Memorandum of Law in Support of its Motion for a
Preliminary Injunction.
I. This Court Has Authoritv And Jurisdiction To Enioin The Acts
Alleqed In The Comolaint.
This court has authority and jurisdiction to enjoin the
acts complained of here under the Pennsylvania Labor Anti-
Injunction Act, the Act of June 2, 1937, P.L. 1198, as amended,
43 P.S. ~206d(d). That Act provides that Pennsylvania courts
have jurisdiction to issue injunctions:
Where in the course of a labor dispute as herein
defined, an employee, or employees acting in
concert, or a labor organization, or the members,
officers, agents, or representatives of a labor
organization or anyone acting for such
organization, seize, hold, damage, or destroy the
plant, equipment, machinery, or other property of
the employer with the intention of compelling the
employer to accede to any demands, conditions, or
terms of employment, or for collective bargaining.
43 P.S. ~206d(d). Although the Labor Anti-Injunction Act had
originally restricted the power of Pennsylvania courts to issue
injunctions in labor disputes, the 1939 amendments to the Act
clearly removed the formalities originally specified in the Act
and "completely restores to the courts of common pleas the
equitable powers exercised by them...for causes which fall within
the terms of the 1939 Amending Act." Carneqie-Illinois Steel
Core. v. United Steelworkers, 353 Pa. 420, 428, 45 A.2d 857
(1946); ~, Gaikowski v. International Bhd. of Teamsters, 350
Pa. Super. 285, 296, 504 A.2d 840 (1986), rev'd on other qrounds;
__pa.___, 530 A.2d 853 (1987); see also, Link-Belt Co. v. Local
Union No. 118 of American Fed'n of Technical Enq'rs., 415 Pa.
122, 202 A.2d 314 (1964) (specifically upholding Carneqie-
Illinois) .
The Supreme Court of the United States and the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court have repeatedly held that "mass
picketing is illegal and that State Courts have power to restrain
such picketing." Westinqhouse Elec. Core. v. United Elec.. Radio
& Mach. Workers, 383 Pa. 297, 301, 118 A.2d 180 (1955); see also,
Fountain Hill Mills v. Amalqamated Clothinq Workers Union, 393
Pa. 385, 143 A.2d 354 (1958); Wortex Mills v. Textile Workers
Union, 369 Pa. 359, 85 A.2d 851 (1952).
II. There Was A Seizure And Holdinq Of Plaintiff's Facilities.
Takinq The Instant Case Outside The Scone Of The
pennsvlvania Labor Anti-Iniunction Act.
The Labor Anti-Injunction Act's restrictions do not
apply, and an injunction may issue, when employees or a labor
organization "seize, hold, damage or destroy the plant . . . or
other property of the employer." Westinqhouse Elec. Core. v.
Int'l Union of Elec.. Radio, & Mach. Workers, 262 Pa. Super. 315,
396 A.2d 772 (1978) (seizure found in case where only five to six
pickets blocked entrances and exits) .
-2-
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has held that, in order
for property to be "seized" for the purposes of S 206(d), the
owner need merely be deprived of the use of the property. There
is no requirement that strikers take physical control and
possession of each and every part of the property or facility;
nor must strikers engage in a sitdown strike. As the Supreme
Court stated in Westinqhouse Elec. Corn. v. United Elec.. Radio &
Mach. Workers, 353 Pa. 446, 455, 46 A.2d 16 (1946):
If the owner be deprived of the use and enjoyment
of the property so that it becomes utterly
valueless to him it is effectively seized and held
whether the force employed for that purpose be
exerted within the building or immediately
without. The control of the entrances is the
control of the plant. Surely defendants would not
deny that, if 5, 10, 50 or 100 of their members
stood directly within the gates and prevented the
owners and their employees from entering, this
would constitute a seizure of the property within
the ordinary meaning of that word, and how is it
less a seizure and a holding if the same number of
persons, for the same purpose and with the same
effect, stand immediately in front of the gates
instead of behind them? Would defendants deny
that, if they locked and bolted all the entrance
doors and thereby prevented ingress and egress,
such action would constitute a seizure and holding
of the plant within the normal connotation of
those terms and therefore within the meaning of
the statute? But what difference is there between
such a method of seizure and that of holding the
gateways closed, not by mechanical devices, but by
a chain of human beings stretched across those
gateways and thereby even the more effectively
preventing access to the property and its use by
the rightful owner?..
(emphasis in original).
Indeed, a seizure and holding may occur when only one
gate to a plant is subjected to mass picketing. As the Supreme
Court stated in Carneqie-Illinois, 353 Pa. at 430:
When this cause reached this court and the record
was before us, it then became our duty to decide
-3-
f"'~~"'l'"
whether or not the facts showed that what the
defendants were doing constituted a "holding" or
"seizure" of the plant or any part of it. The
holding or seizure of even one gateway to the
plant entitled the plaintiff to the protection of
a court of equity just as fully as would the
seizure of the entire plant. When a "picket line"
become a picket fence it is time for government to
act. Collective coercion is not a legitimate
child of collective bargaining.
See also, Neshaminv Constructors. Inc. v. Philadelohia Blda. &
Constr. Trades Council, 303 Pa. Super. 420, 424, 449 A.2d 1389
(1982) .
It is equally clear that the number of pickets involved
is not significant as long as plaintiff is forcibly prevented
from the use of its property. "If there was only ~ picket and
if he succeeded in blocking ingress to the plant by a display of
force his act could be lawless and enjoinable." Westinahouse
Elec. COrD., 353 Pa. at 461. (Maxey, C.J., concurring) (emphasis
in original) .
Force or violence is not a prerequisite to the issuance
of an injunction so long as there is a prevention of free access
to an employer's property by mass picketing. Westinahouse Elec.
COrD., 383 Pa. at 300. Furthermore, a seizure and holding may
take place without an attempt to pass through a mass picket line.
In Westinahouse Elec. Core., 383 Pa. at 299-300, the Supreme
Court stated:
The chancellor ruled that "There was no testimony
indicating a testing of the situation . . . [no
evidence of] a sincere attempt to enter. . .".
Such ruling was obviously that there could be no
seizure or holding of property within the
amendment to the Labor Anti-Injunction Act unless
there was proved a sincere attempt to enter the
plant, which was prevented by mass picketing. The
court was of opinion that to establish that mass
picketing was intended to be an effective
-4-
obstructing or blocking of passage into and from
the plant, a test should have been made by an
attempt to pass through such mass picket line.
Such ruling was obviously in error and must be
reversed.
See also, Neshaminv Constructors, 303 Pa. Super. at 424, 449 A.2d
at 1391.
The evidence submitted, when viewed in light of the
foregoing decisions of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and
Superior Court, clearly establishes that this is not a case of
mere property damage incidentally caused by picketing, ~,
Solvent Mach. & Filter Svs.. Inc. v. Teamsters Local No. 115, 343
Pa. Super. 505, 495 A.2d 579 (1985), nor of mere difficulty of
entry and egress caused by picketing, ~, Frankel-Warwick Ltd.
partnershio v. Local 274. Hotel. Bartenders & Restaurant
Emolovees Union, 334 Pa. Super. 47, 482 A.2d 1073 (1984), but
instead an actual "seizure and holding" of plaintiff's facilities
for the purposes of the Labor Anti-Injunction Act.
III. Plaintiff's Motives In Seekinq An Iniunction Are Immaterial.
Plaintiff's motive for seeking an injunction is
immaterial. As the Pennsylvania Supreme Court stated in
Westinqhouse Elec. Co., 383 Pa. at 301-302:
The court below in the present case states in the
opinion: "We received the distinct impression
from the testimony that the Company was more
interested in impressing the Judge with the so-
called illegal behavior of the men than in getting
Supervisors into the plant; more interested in
legal rights that in labor relations; more
interested in breading the morale of the men and
the Union itself than in negotiating a contract."
That court should have been concerned exclusively
with the legal question of whether mass picketing,
unaccompanied by violence, threats and
intimidation, is illegal. Where such action is
adjudged illegal, the good or bad motive of an
-5-
employer in insisting upon the enforcement of the
legal principle is immaterial: ~ Cohen v.
Perrino, 355 Pa. 455, 460, 50 A.2d 348.
The Order of the court below is reversed, and the
record remanded with direction to issue and
injunction enjoining and restraining defendant
Union, its officers, representatives, agents and
members and all other persons acting in concert
with them (1) from preventing or attempting to
prevent, by mass picketing, intimidation or
coercion, any person or persons from entering or
leaving plaintiff's plants and properties and (2)
from in any other manner seizing or holding said
plants and properties.
IV. The preliminarv Iniunction Should Be Continued In Effect
Against The Union As Well As The Other Named Defendants.
Plaintiff respectfully submits that by asserting the
right to picket plaintiff's facilities in furtherance of its
collective bargaining demands, the Union must, at the same time,
accept responsibility for the mass action of its picketing
members. In Milk Waaon Drivers Union v. Meadowmoor Dairies, 312
U.S. 287, 295 (1941), the United States Supreme Court held:
The Fourteenth Amendment still leaves the state
ample discretion in dealing with manifestations of
force in the settlement of industrial conflicts.
And in exercising its power a state is not to be
treated as though the technicalities of the laws
of agency were written into the Constitution. .
It is true of a union as of an employer that it
may be responsible for acts which it has not
expressly authorized or which might not be
attributable to it on strict application of the
rules of resoondeat suoerior.
In United States v. United Mine Workers, 77 F. Supp.
563,566-567 (D.D.C. 1948), aff'd, 177 F.2d 29 (D.C. Cir. 1949),
cert. denied, 338 U.S. 871 (l949), the District Court provided
the rationale for holding a labor organization responsible for
the mass action of its members:
-6-
,....,....
'~-l<
.'.,~:: !L'.,~:;t}~':f'~.'~
The Court thinks the principle is this: that as
long as a union is functioning as a union it must
be held responsible for the mass action of its
members. It is perfectly obvious not only in
objective reasoning but because of experience that
men don't act collectively without leadership. . .
So that, in general, this Court announces a
principle of law. The Court has no means of
knowing whether higher courts will adopt the
principle or not, but the Court has no doubt about
its soundness, not any -- that a union that is
functioning must be held responsible for the mass
action of its members.
***
Of course, if a union comes in and says "We have
lost our hold on our members; they have gone; John
Smith has executed a coup; he has taken them away
from us," and if they can show the Court by
legitimate testimony that this is true, they are
not guilty of contempt. But that is not the
situation here.
The Union and its President made no such claim.
They don't contend for one instant that this Union
isn't operating and functioning as a union, and
that its members are not controlled from
headquarters.
And so the Court has no difficulty in reaching a
conclusion.
The Pennsylvania Superior Court has held that in order
to hold a labor organization liable in negligence for the strike-
related tortious acts of its members, plaintiff must show, by the
weight of the evidence, that the acts complained of were ordered,
authorized or ratified by the labor organization. LaZar v. RUR
Indus.. Inc., 337 Pa. Super. 445, 449, n.3, 487 A.2d 29, 31, n.3
(1985) .
However, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision in
Gaikowski v. Int'l Bhd. of Teamsters, 515 Pa. 516, 530 A.2d 853
(1987) indicated that LaZar does not govern the availability of
injunctive relief against a labor organization in a case of mass
-7-
"
l;f,:;:::;~r\f~'\ "f'_;^C<~""/_
lJ,.~n"'"P'~":""-"I,:-
, -iJ!~
picketing. In Gaikowski, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court stated
that Section 8 of the Labor Anti-Injunction Act, 43 P.S. ~ 206h
(Purdon 1964) -- requiring proof, by the weight of the evidence,
of actual participation in, actual authorization of, or
ratification after actual knowledge of unlawful acts by officers,
members or agents of a labor organization, in order to hold a
labor organization liable for such acts -- is inapplicable to
suits for injunctive relief under ~206d(d). The Gaikowski Court
explained, 530 A.2d at 857, that an "injunction poses no threat
to the viability of a labor organization whereas damage awards
may quickly strangle an entity responsible for bargaining on
behalf of workers." The Court added, in words as applicable in
this case of mass picketing as that in the case of violence:
A union qua union can have no legitimate interest
in preventing an injunction against violence on
the picket line, whether or not it participated in
fomenting that violence. If it did, it is
properly a party. If it did not, it should
support an end to the violence as all good
citizens are required to do.
530 A.2d at 857.
In other words, the Labor Anti-Injunction Act requires
proof of authorization only where the plaintiff seeks monev
damaaes. not iniunctive relief. The Union may attempt to rely on
the United States Supreme Court's decision in Carbon Fuel Co. v.
United Mine Workers, 444 U.S. 212 (1979). Contrary to the
instant case, Carbon Fuel applies to cases involving suits for
monev damaaes under Sections 301 and 303 of the Labor Management
Relations Act, 19 U.S.C. ~~185, 187. As stated by the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, "There is nothing
in the logic of [the Carbon Fuel] holding that prevents the
-8-
. '
.-_.~._-,,-_... -
application of the mass action theory on the local level."
Consolidation Coal Co. v. United Mine Workers. Local 1702, 709
F.2d 882, 885 (4th Cir.); cert. den., 464 U.S. 993 (1983). The
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the
federal district courts in Pennsylvania have never extended
Carbon Fuel beyond its original context, however. ~, Feather
v. United Mine Workers, 711 F.2d 530 (3d Cir. 1983); ~
Scaffoldinq Co. v. Local 845 United Bhd. of Caroenters, 585 F.
Supp. 102 (E.D. Pa. 1984); Airco Soeer Carbon-Graphite v. LOcal
502. Int'l Union of Elec.. Radio & Mach. Workers, 494 F. Supp.
872 (w.D. Pa. 1980). As Judge Knox wrote in Airco Soeer Carbon-
Graohite, "We agree . . . that the mass action theory does not
survive Carbon Fuel, inasmuch as the Supreme Court has clearly
defined the limits of union liability under Section lQ1." Airco
Soeer Carbon-Graohite, 494 F. Supp. at 876 (emphasis added) .
V. Plaintiff Is Entitled To A preliminarv Iniunction Limitinq
The Number And The Activities Of The Pickets At Its
Facilities
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court long ago put to rest
question about an employer's right to injunctive relief in this
type of case. In Wortex Mills, 369 Pa. at 363-364, the Court
held:
In the light of the mass picketing, threats and
intimidation, it seems strange that anyone should
contend that a State Court is powerless to issue
an injunction. It is well to recall that a State
or other Sovereign has a paramount right and an
inescapable duty to maintain law and order, to
protect life, liberty and property and to enact
laws and police regulations for the protection and
preservation of the safety, health and welfare of
the people of the state or community.
-9-
And, in carnegie-Illinois, 353 Pa. at 429, the Court
emphatically stated:
Forcibly to deny an owner of property or his
agents and employees access to that property for
the purpose of protecting and maintaining it and
its equipment or for any other legitimate purpose
is in practical and legal effect a seizure or
holding of that property. Such a lawless seizure
of property no government worthy of the name will
tolerate or condone. The employment of hostile
force against persons and property is exclusively
a governmental function, and exercisable even by
the government only by due process of law. When
any individual or organization under whatsoever
name attempts to use force to gain his or its ends
they are attempting to usurp governmental
functions. This attempt unless promptly and
effectively restrained by legally constituted
authority leads to lawlessness, disorder and
anarchy, which is the very negation of all
government. The law cannot temporize with
lawlessness. The first dutv of aovernment is to
aovern, that is, to maintain law and order at all
hazards and regardless of expense; only by doing
this does it fulfill its legitimate function,
which is the protection of life, liberty and
property.
(Emphasis in original) .
This is not an instance as in Giant Eaale United Food and
Commercial Workers Union v. Local Union No. 23, 425 Pa. Super.
Ct. 186, 624 A.2d 208 (1993), in which customers simply had
difficulty gaining access to an establishment. This is an
instance in which the Union's pickets effectively thwarted access
to the facility. This is an instance in which the Union controls
the entrance and denies access to the facility. ~ Indiana
Cobra. Inc. v. United Food & Commercial Workers. Local 23, 406
Pa. Super. 342, 542 A.2d 368 (1991). Further, the necessity for
intensive numbers of law enforcement officials at this location
jeopardizes the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of
Middlesex Township and surrounding municipalities.
-10-
Illinois: "No law-abiding citizen objects to being officially
informed that he cannot act unlawfully. The injunction issued in
this case impinged on no one except persons acting unlawfully or
planning to act unlawfully. It offended no one who acknowledged
the supremacy of the law." 353 Pa. at 431.
Roadway is entitled to injunctive relief under well-
established precedent in this Commonwealth. The Court should
issue a preliminary injunction limiting the number of pickets at
Carlisle facility and restraining those pickets from denying
access to the facility.
VI. Plaintiff Reauests OnlY That Defendants Act Lawfullv.
The relief sought by plaintiff is not extraordinary.
Defendants have engaged in unlawful acts, and the evidence
indicates that they intend to continue such activity. No one can
properly object to an injunction merely prohibiting such unlawful
acts. As the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said in Carneqie-

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PICKETERS AT THE ROADWAY PICKET LINE
I. Continue operating the picket line straight across the highway just as you have been doing all
along. Do not break the line for incoming or outgoing vehicles. Do allow vehicles to pass when
the end of the line clears the traffic lane. Ensure that no more than forty (40) picketers remain at
or near the immediate area of the picket line. Maintain the 4 1/2 feet spacing between pickets.
Be eareful not to "bunch up" when an unusual event occurs. These rare occurrences become
photo opportunities for Roadway.
2, Do not engage in any type of picket line violence. Even though you mayor may not actually
get caught. most judges are going to attribute incidents which occur on a picket line to an un-
known picketer. These events will weigh heavily in his decision to issue additional limitations to
our picket line or place other restrictions or penalties on the Union. Picket line violence is not a
solution to this labor dispute.
3. Do not verbally abuse, threaten or harass the Roadway office staff. Many of them have tele-
phoned us and explained that they support our cause, but know they will be fired if they do not
report to work.
4. Do not have more than one picket line along Roadway Drive at anyone time. Picketers
should not stop vehicles at the northern (ABF) end of Roadway Drive if the primary picket line is
on the southern end of Roadway Drive at its usual location.
5. Do continue to cooperate with business persons who have freight stranded on the Roadway
dock. First, politely request that they respect the picket line; however, if they insist that they
must cross the line because of a threat of discharge or other reasons, tell them you understand
their difficult position. Tell them you can guarantee a "hassle free" trip in and out of Roadway
providing they are picking up their own freight and they agree to allow us to inspect their eargo
bo'5 inbound and outbound. If an agreement is reached and complied with, extend them the maxi-
mum amount of politeness and courtesy. If they do not agree or later choose not to honor the
agreement, exercise our lawful rights as described in paragraph 6 and 7 below, DO NOT
THREATEN, HARASS, TOUCH OR HARM THEM. DO NOT TOUCH OR HARM
THEm VEHICLE. Do 1/O! make implied threats.
6. Do continue the escort service down Roadway Drive for those individuals who do not cooper-
ate with the inspection process. Use five or six picketers to accomplish this task. Ensure that
the picketers remain no less than 4 1/2 feet apart while making the trip. The escort service
should proceed at a "casual pace" rather than the "baby step pace" previously practiced. IQ
verv important that all other picketers who remain at the nonnal picket line location stav off the
paved Dortion of the road and do not engage in picketing.
7. Ambulatory pickets should intercept the uncooperative individual at the end of Roadway
Drive. They should read and follow the instructions titled PROCEDlIRE FOR AMBlI/.A T()JlY
PICKETING OR HOW TO F()J.WW A SCAB WHO CROSSED THR PICKET I./NE.

DO carry "ON STRIKE" signs which renectthe company involved in the labor dispute. The
signs should also read "NO OTHER EMPLOYER INVOLVED'.
DO follow the (scab) vehicle at a safe distance and obey all traffic laws.
DO set up pickets with "ON STRIKE" signs at every business or location the vehicle enters for
the purpose of delivering freight or picking up freight.
DO maintain a written or voice recorded log of the events which occurred during the day. If
possible use a video recorder to capture the events.
DON'T harass. threaten or make any physical contact with the scab driver or passenger.
DON'T damage or make any physical contact with the scab's vehicle.
DON'T enter onto the private property where the scab vehicle enters to make a delivery.
Picket at the gate or entrance to the location. There is no need to picket at a Burger King or
other lunch establishment. Instead. you might join the scab for lunch and take the opportunity
to explain the issues involved in the strike. Do not engage in a confrontation with the scab,
threaten or harass him/her.
DON'T argue with the police about your lawful right to ambulatory picket. If you encounter
police problems contact a representative of the Local Union or obtain the name, badge number
and depanment information about the officer.
THIS LOCAL UNION DOES NOT CONDONE ANY TYPE OF PICKET LINE VIOLENCE.
WE KNOW THAT BY WORKING TOGETHER WE CAN CONDUCT AN EFFECTIVE
STRIKE WHICH IS ALSO WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE STATE AND
FEDERAL LAWS. THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO
ENGAGE IN VIOLENCE OR OTHER UNLAWFUL ACTS DO NOT PROMOTE OUR
CAUSE.

MOTION FOR ENFORCEMENT ORDBR
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
Roadway Express, Inc., by and through its attorneys,
Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation, hereby moves this
Court to enter an Order enforcing the Order of Court of April 8,
1994, upon the following grounds:
1. On Friday, April 8, 1994, after presentment of a

a.m./p.m. as the date and time for a hearing on the enforcement
of the Consent Order. A true and correct copy of the said
Consent Order is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked
as Exhibit "A".
2. At the time the Consent Order was issued, counsel for
Chauffers, Teamsters and Helpers Local 776 Union ("Local 776"),
and Ronald Tomasko, Esquire of the firm Ira H. Weinstock, P.C.,
was present in the Courtroom and was made aware of the contents
of the said Consent Order. True and correct copies of the said

b. During the morning hours, from approximately 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m., on April 9, 1994, pickets walked in a loop
across Roadway Drive in express violation of the Consent Order;
c. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 9, 1994,
approximately forty (40) pickets' cars parked in the emergency
turnaround location in violation of the express language
contained in the Consent Order prohibiting parking within 100
feet of the area;
d. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a Federal
Express vehicle stopped and pickets circled that vehicle blocking
it from entering the Roadway facility in express violation of the
Consent Order;
e. During the mid-afternoon of April 9, 1994, a
picket, identified as Bob Weakland, began using a large mirror to
harass security guards and management personnel; and,
f. At or about 5:40 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a picket's
car was parked in the emergency turnaround in express violation
of Section 6 (a) of the Consent Order;
g. At or about 7:59 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
shined spotlights in the eyes of security personnel for Roadway;

numbers forty-one (41) on line and twelve (12l more in area;
i. On April 10, 1994, Augie Tokis, a Roadway striker
who is approximately 6'4", carried a waist-high stick on the
picket line through most of the day;

formed a line and would not allow a Verbose truck to proceed
normally toward Route 11. Pickets formed a line and walked very
slowly in front of the tractor trailer. The activity of the
pickets significantly slowed the progress of the tractor trailer
between the Roadway Carlisle facility and Route 11;
p. At or about 10:08 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a Leslie
Faye truck driver backed his vehicle away without entering the
facility after pickets crowded around his trailer, and a Union

n. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, Sheriff
Tom Kline and Chief Sherman told Roadway representatives that
they had received a report of C-4 explosives strapped to a diesel
tank. Roadway maintains a one million gallon tank close to the
area of the picketing. The report indicated that the explosives
would explode at 11:00 a.m. Rupture of that tank would cause
extreme damage and would cause the spill of a hazardous
substance;

Batalka to open the back of the truck so that he could look in.
Shughart also told him that he wished to examine the contents
after the driver picked up his load;
r. While the tractor trailer was proceeding toward
Route 11, pickets hollered, "People will follow you wherever you
go when you get to Route 11" (or words to that effect). Pickets
also chanted "scab," called the driver a low life and said they
hoped he could sleep at night. Charles Shughart also screamed
"It is going to be a long day, buddy, a long day;"
s. On April 11, 1994, pickets massed and formed a
line that blocked the exit of the same Miller Trucking tractor
trailer. Pickets moved down Roadway Drive in front of the
tractor trailer until it reached the area of Carlisle Trucking.
As a result, it took approximately 45 to 50 minutes for the
tractor trailer to proceed from the gate area to Route 11;
t. Once the tractor trailer reached Route 11, Steve
Hockenberry, a Union member and striker, followed the tractor
trailer. He stopped and took video of the tractor trailer, which
had been stopped by the police;
u. During the afternoon of April 11, 1994 and other
occasions, technical violations were also observed. Pickets were
sometimes two deep. Pickets were not spaced 4.5 feet apart as
they walked, as required by the Consent Order. Pickets were
close enough to be holding hands. Pickets' cars were parked
within 100 feet of the turnaround. Two pickets held and shined
mirrors at security and management to impede videotaping of the
unlawful interference with the Miller Trucking tractor trailer;

.
v. At or about 3:11 p.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
was proceeding toward Route 11 until pickets blocked him. The
driver, Ian Peters, tried to proceed throughout the gap in the
line. Andy Reiley, a picket, blocked the truck and pushed on the
truck and banged on the hood. Peters, a Roadway maintenance
worker, then backed toward the gate area (the gate area is
closest to the Roadway buildings at the opposite end of Route 11
from Roadway Drive) at a slower speed, and traveled a distance of
about 50 to 75 feet. Mr. Peters stopped because Mr. Reiley was
saying that Mr. Peters had better not injure him in any way. At
this point Mr. Reiley hollered for additional help. Pickets
threatened Peters by stating that the would bust his "fucking
head open;"
w. At or about 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994,
two (2) customers individually reported to me as they entered the
facility that they were intimidated by the requests to search
their vehicles. One woman was from Ascot Enterprises. The
second woman, who was accompanied by her infant child, was from
Thomas Marie Toll, and was visibly upset and exhibited stuttered
speech and kept looking around;
x. On April 11, 1994, a picket had a stick without a
picket sign;
y. Throughout the day on April 11, 1994, pickets
routinely asked drivers of incoming trucks or vans to honor their
picket line, and interrogated drivers as to the type of commodity
they were picking up;
z. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Linda
Young approached the picket line and pulled behind a little metal

truck. She then heard the pickets yelling behind her, so she
looked in her rearview mirror. She saw the men looking like they
were going to walk in front of a little silver car (Wanda
Garman). They were yelling at Ms. Garman loud enough that she
heard them with her windows up and her radio on;
aa. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Local 776
had a gray van stopped in the lane of Wanda Garman. The car in
front of her started to go around the van and Ms. Garman
followed. They were travelling very slowly. That is when Local
776 started to shout at them. Some of the comments were "slow
down," "you scabs," and then the one man gave them "the finger."
Another man made moves like he was going to cross in front of Ms.
Garman's car, at which time she had to apply the brake; and,
ab. Those other instance(s) as are described in
Exhibit "A".
6. Defendants and others acting in concert with them have
shown no intent to comply with said Consent Order.
Wherefore, Plaintiff moves this Court to enter an Order for
enforcement of the Consent Order issued on April 8, 1994, and
respectfully requests that all costs of enforcement be assessed
against the Defendants.

COMPLAINT
To The Honorable, The Judges of Said Court:
Roadway Express, Inc. (hereinafter "Roadway"), by and
through its attorney, Buchanan Ingersoll Professional
Corporation, complains of the Defendants and says:
1. The Plaintiff, Roadway, a corporation organized and
operating pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, is registered to do business in the State of
Delaware, is doing business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
and has facilities in Middlesex Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, located at 100 Roadway Drive, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania 17013 ("Carlisle facility").
2. Plaintiff, Roadway, is engaged in the business of
trucking, warehousing and common carriage at its Carlisle
facility.
3. The Defendant, Chauffers, Teamsters and Helpers, Local
Union No. 776 of the Brotherhood of Teamsters (herein referred to
as "Local 776") and Thomas B. Griffith, President, Local 776, is
an unincorporated labor association having its principal office
at 2552 Jefferson Street, in Harrisburg, Dauphin County,
pennsylvania 17110-2519, and regularly conducts union business in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the County of Cumberland and
represents several hundred workers employed by Roadway at its
Carlisle facility.
4. The Defendant, Thomas B. Griffith, President of Local
Union No. 776, maintains a business address at 2552 Jefferson
Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17110.
5. In addition to the aforesaid Defendants, there are
engaged by and acting for and on behalf of and for the benefit
and at the instance and direction of the said Defendants, certain
and various other persons whom the plaintiff is presently unable
to identify by name, who have been and who are presently
participating in the acts and in the course of conduct
hereinafter complained in conjunction, concert and conspiracy
with the aforesaid Defendants and as such are named and joined as
"John and Jane Does."
6. In January, 1994, representatives of trucking
companies, including Roadway, began to negotiate a new National
Master Freight Agreement, a nationwide collective bargaining
agreement. In addition, negotiations commenced for a Central
Pennsylvania Supplement ("Supplement"), which would cover, among
others, the several hundred employees employed by Roadway at its
Carlisle facility. Since that time, representatives of Central
Pennsylvania Negotiation Committee and Local 776 have met on
numerous occasions for the purpose of negotiating the Supplement.
These negotiations have been unsuccessful.
7. The National Master Freight Agreement expired at
midnight on March 31, 1994. By agreement of the parties, an
-2-
extension was in place from April 1, 1994 through AprilS, 1994.
Commencing on or about April 6, 1994, at or about 12:01 a.m., the
Defendant Union and various members, adherents or supporters of
the above-named Defendant went on strike against Roadway and did
commence picketing Carlisle facility at 100 Roadway Drive,
Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013.
8. On or about April 6, 1994, at or about 12:01 a.m., the
Defendant Union and various members, adherents and supporters of
the said Defendant did commence to picket in such a fashion that
it was impossible for certain vehicles to enter or leave the
Plaintiff's Carlisle facility. The Defendants have at all times
maintained picketing as follows:
a. The massing of up to 300 pickets;
b. Sufficient number of pickets to prevent the
ingress/egress of trucks; and,
c. Blocking of portions of Roadway Drive by parking
picketers' vehicles on both sides of the road so
that access is restricted to one (1) lane. The
one (1) lane restriction means that vehicles
cannot pass one another on Roadway Drive. If two
(2) tractor trailers use the road at the same
time, one (1) of the two (2) tractor trailers must
back up to allow the other to pass. Since Roadway
Drive is an 'S'-shaped curve, the backing up of
any tractor trailer is both difficult and
dangerous.
Additionally, the massing of pickets provided time and
cover for a picket to damage the brake lines of a tractor
-3-
trailer. Damage by this picket caused the brakes to freeze and
the tractor trailer to further block ingress/egress to the
Carlisle facility until the tractor trailer could be repaired.
9. By these unlawful acts, the Defendants have deprived
the Plaintiff, its officers, executives, agents, employees and
the persons, of the right of ingress and egress to and from the
facilities of Carlisle, and have by coercion and intimidation
interfered with and obstructed their right and lawful attempts to
enter the said Carlisle facility to perform lawful activities.
10. By such means, the Defendants have prevented the
Plaintiff from:
a. Conducting its business, conserving its property
and carrying on those lawful, essential and
necessary activities;
b. providing for the protection and maintenance of
its equipment, machinery and supplies.
11. The Defendants and other persons acting under their
direction and authority and in concert with Defendants, have
continued and persisted in their unlawful conduct and have
threatened to continue to pursue their course of intimidation and
coercion as averred above.
12. The Defendants and other persons acting under their
direction and authority and in concert with Defendants, have
advised and threatened that they will carry out and pursue such
course of intimidation and coercion that inevitably will cause
further substantial and irreparable damage and injury to the
business and property of the Plaintiff unless restrained by law.
-4-
13. The Defendants and those associated with them under
their direction and authority are persons of limited means and
have no financial resources that would enable the Plaintiff to
recover from the Defendants and those associated with them, the
losses that their unlawful and malicious conduct and acts impose
and will continue to impose upon the Plaintiff.
14. Because of the continuing unlawful and malicious
conduct of the Defendants and other persons acting under their
direction and authority and in concert with them, and because of
the inability or unwillingness of the local police to control the
situation, the situation is so serious and urgent as to require
the issuance of a preliminary injunction without hearing.
15. Because of the substantial and irreparable injury that
is being caused by the unlawful acts of the Defendants, the
Plaintiff is without adequate remedy at law and is entitled to a
preliminary injunction to restore to it the lawful use of its
property, the right to employ in and about its business those
persons who desire to work for that purpose and the right to
continue the operation of its business unhindered and
uninterrupted by the unlawful and malicious acts of Defendants.
16. Counsel for the Plaintiff has notified the principal
office of Defendant Union and the office of Defendants' legal
counsel of Plaintiff's intention to request a preliminary
injunction without hearing and will advise said offices of the
time of the hearing with the Court on Plaintiff's request for a
preliminary injunction.
17. The Plaintiff requests the Court:
-5-
. p-".,.,.~
a. To enjoin the Defendants and their officers,
agents, employees and members, and those acting in
concert with them, or having notice of the Court's
Order, temporarily until hearing, and perpetually
thereafter from:
1. seizing, obstructing or interfering in any
way by threats or otherwise with the free and
complete access, egress or ingress by anyone
from any of the facilities of the Plaintiff;
2. directly or indirectly impeding, obstructing,
hampering or interfering with the business or
operations of the Plaintiff;
3. directly or indirectly interfering with the
deliveries, unloading and dispatch of
supplies, materials and equipment to and from
Plaintiff's facilities;
4. inducing or attempting to induce by any
threats of force or violence any customers,
subcontractors or employees of the Plaintiff
to not enter any of Plaintiff's facilities;
5. interfering with, hindering or annoying any
employees, agents or representatives of the
Plaintiff who may desire to enter or leave
any of the facilities of the Plaintiff for
any purpose, by force or displays of force,
by numbers, by threats, by acts of
intimidation or violence or by any conduct
that tends to deprive any such employee or
other person of the free enjoyment of his
legal rights or access to and from the
Plaintiff's facilities;
6. having, causing or permitting more than two
(2) pickets at any time to be at or remain
near any entrance or exit of any facility of
the Plaintiff, such pickets to remain off the
property of the Plaintiff, to be in motion,
to be spaced in a single line at least ten
(10) feet apart, and to conduct themselves in
such a manner as not to block the use of the
entrances or exits for ingress or egress of
any person or vehicle desiring to enter or
leave the same;
7. unlawfully trespassing or loitering in the
Plaintiff's parking lot(s) or garage(s) or

picketing and using the said parking lot(s)
and/or garage(s) for the purpose of
intimidating any employee, customer,
representative or agent of Roadway or any
other individual who may wish to enter any
facility of the Plaintiff.
b. To set a date for hearing, within five (5) days of
the filing of this Complaint, to consider
Plaintiff's request for a preliminary injunction.
c. Upon full and fair hearing to grant Plaintiff's
request for a permanent injunction against the
aforesaid activities.
d. To retain jurisdiction of this Complaint to
determine that the decree of the Court is obeyed,
and
e. To grant such other relief, including money
damages, as the Court shall deem appropriate.

AMENDED MOTION FOR ENFORCEMENT ORDER
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
Roadway Express, Inc., by and through its attorneys,
Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation, hereby moves this
Court to enter an Order enforcing the Order of Court of April 8,
1994, upon the following grounds:
1. On Friday, April 8, 1994, after presentment of a
Complaint, affidavits and the posting of security in the amount
of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), this Court issued a Consent
Order against the named Defendants and all other parties acting
in concert with them and set April
-'
1994, at
a.m./p.m. as the date and time for a hearing on the enforcement
of the Consent Order. A true and correct copy of the said
Consent Order is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked
as Exhibit "A".
2. At the time the Consent Order was issued, counsel for
Chauffers, Teamsters and Helpers Local 776 union ("Local 776"),
and Ronald Tomasko, Esquire of the firm Ira H. Weinstock, P.C.,
was present in the Courtroom and was made aware of the contents
of the said Consent Order. True and correct copies of the said
Consent Order were served on Defendant Chauffers, Teamsters and
Helpers, Local Union No. 776 of the Brotherhood of Teamsters and
Thomas B. Griffith, President, Individually, and John and Jane
Does, Individually, all individually and as Trustees ad litem on
April 8, 1994. Service was accepted by counsel to Local 776.
3. Plaintiff has reproduced true and correct copies of
said Consent Order that have been served on the pickets at or
near Plaintiff's facilities, but the persons and pickets acting
in concert with them have refused and continue to refuse to obey
the terms of the said Consent Order.
4. Since April 8, 1994, Plaintiff has continually demanded
of Defendants and all persons and pickets acting in concert with
them that the terms of said Consent Order be obeyed.
5. The Defendants and others acting in concert with them
have violated and have shown their intent to continue to violate
the Consent Order issued on April 8, 1994, by the following
actions:
a. At or about 10:45 a.m. on April 9, 1994, the
Defendants and others acting in concert with them caused and
permitted approximately fifty-four (54) pickets to mass at and
near the entrances to Plaintiff's facilities located at Roadway'S
Carlisle facility, Middlesex Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and walk across Roadway Drive;
-2-
~-
b. During the morning hours, from approximately 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m., on April 9, 1994, pickets walked in a loop
across Roadway Drive in express violation of the Consent Order;
c. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 9, 1994,
approximately forty (40) pickets' cars parked in the emergency
turnaround location in violation of the express language
contained in the Consent Order prohibiting parking within 100
feet of the area;
d. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a Federal
Express vehicle stopped and pickets circled that vehicle blocking
it from entering the Roadway facility in express violation of the
Consent Order;
e. During the mid-afternoon of April 9, 1994, a
picket, identified as Bob Weakland, began using a large mirror to
harass security guards and management personnel; and,
f. At or about 5:40 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a picket's
car was parked in the emergency turnaround in express violation
of Section 6 (a) of the Consent Order;
g. At or about 7:59 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
shined spotlights in the eyes of security personnel for Roadway;
h. At or about 9:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
numbers forty-one (41) on line and twelve (12) more in area;
i. On April 10, 1994, Augie TOkis, a Roadway striker
who is approximately 6'4", carried a waist-high stick on the
picket line through most of the day;
j. At or about 7:15 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
pulled into Roadway Drive with an ASF trailer. Two individuals
-3-
stopped the trailer and talked to the pickets. The trailer dido
not proceed into the facility;
k. At or about 7:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, there
were a total of sixty-three (63) pickets on Roadway Drive;
l. At or about 9:10 a.m. on April 11, 1994, fifty-
nine (59) cars were parked on Roadway Drive;
m. At or about 9:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a total
of one hundred ten (110) picketers were on Roadway Drive;
n. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, Sheriff
Tom Kline and Chief Sherman told Roadway representatives that
they had received a report of C-4 explosives strapped to a diesel
tank. Roadway maintains a one million gallon tank close to the
area of the picketing. The report indicated that the explosives
would explode at 11:00 a.m. Rupture of that tank would cause
extreme damage and would cause the spill of a hazardous
substance;
o. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, .1994, pickets
formed a line and would not allow a Verbose truck to proceed
normally toward Route 11. Pickets formed a line and walked very
slowly in front of the tractor trailer. The activity of the
pickets significantly slowed the progress of the tractor trailer
between the Roadway Carlisle facility and Route 11;
p. At or about 10:08 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a Leslie
Faye truck driver backed his vehicle away without entering the
facility after pickets crowded around his trailer, and a Union
leader talked to the driver;
q. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994, Chuck
Shughart approached a Miller Trucking tractor trailer driven by
-4-
( . . ~ .
t~1--:~~~,i--~":','
...~'"
.J,',,'. ~"')
""":0"
Stephen Batalka, and talked to Batalka. Shughart required
Batalka to open the back of the truck so that he could look in.
Shughart also told him that he wished to examine the contents
after the driver picked up his load;
r. While the tractor trailer was proceeding toward
Route 11, pickets hollered, "People will follow you wherever you
go when you get to Route 11" (or words to that effect). Pickets
also chanted "scab," called the driver a low life and said they
hoped he could sleep at night. Charles Shughart also screamed
"It is going to be a long day, buddy, a long day;"
s. On April 11, 1994, pickets massed and formed a
li.ne that blocked the exit of the same Miller Trucking tractor
trailer. Pickets moved down Roadway Drive in front of the
tractor trailer until it reached the area of Carlisle Trucking.
As a result, it took approximately 45 to 50 minutes for the
tractor trailer to proceed from the gate area to Route 11;
t. Once the tractor trailer reached Route 11, Steve
Hockenberry, a Union member and striker, followed the tractor
trailer. He stopped and took video of the tractor trailer, which
had been stopped by the police;
u. During the afternoon of April 11, 1994 and other
occasions, technical violations were also observed. Pickets were
sometimes two deep. Pickets were not spaced 4.5 feet apart as
they walked, as required by the Consent Order. Pickets were
close enough to be holding hands. Pickets' cars were parked
within 100 feet of the turnaround. Two pickets held and shined
mirrors at security and management to impede videotaping of the
unlawful interference with the Miller Trucking tractor trailer;

v.
At or about 3:11 p.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
was proceeding toward Route 11 until pickets blocked him. The
driver, Ian Peters, tried to proceed throughout the gap in the
line. Andy Reiley, a picket, blocked the truck and pushed on the
truck and banged on the hood. Peters, a Roadway maintenance
worker, then backed toward the gate area (the gate area is
closest to the Roadway buildings at the opposite end of Route 11
from Roadway Drive) at a slower speed, and traveled a distance of
about 50 to 75 feet. Mr. Peters stopped because Mr. Reiley was
saying that Mr. Peters had better not injure him in any way. At
this point Mr. Reiley hollered for additional help. Pickets
threatened Peters by stating that the would bust his "fucking
head open;"
w. At or about 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994,
two (2) customers individually reported to me as they entered the
facility that they were intimidated by the requests to search
their vehicles. One woman was from Ascot Enterprises. The
second woman, who was accompanied by her infant child, was from
Thomas Marie Toll, and was visibly upset and exhibited stuttered
speech and kept looking around;
x. On April 11, 1994, a picket had a stick without a
picket sign;
y. Throughout the day on April 11, 1994, pickets
routinely asked drivers of incoming trucks or vans to honor their
picket line, and interrogated drivers as to the type of commodity
they were picking up;
z. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Linda
Young approached the picket line and pulled behind a little metal

truck. She then heard the pickets yelling behind her, so she
looked in her rearview mirror. She saw the men looking like they
were going to walk in front of a little silver car (Wanda
Garman). They were yelling at Ms. Garman loud enough that she
heard them with her windows up and her radio on;
aa. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Local 776
had a gray van stopped in the lane of Wanda Garman. The car in
front of her started to go around the van and Ms. Garman
followed. They were travelling very slowly. That is when Local
776 started to shout at them. Some of the comments were "slow
down," "you scabs," and then the one man gave them "the finger."
Another man made moves like he was going to cross in front of Ms.
Garman's car, at which time she had to apply the brake; and,
ab. At or about 9:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, pickets
blocked a driver from Burlington Coat Factory from exiting the
Roadway Carlisle facility. The vehicle was subsequently followed
and harassed by the drivers of a brown pick-up truck and a green
Chevy on a public highway.
ac. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 12, 1994, Bob
Sidenberry, the driver of a Ryder truck, who was picking up goods
for Lord and Taylor, was blocked by pickets for approximately
fifty (50) minutes as he attempted to exit the Roadway facility.
Pickets subsequently followed and harassed him on a public
highway.
ad. During the morning of April 13, 1994, ingress
and/or egress of at least three (3) trucks was blocked by
pickets.
-7-
, '
M
ae. At or about 3:40 p.m. on April 13, 1994, Bob McCoy
stopped his truck to permit pickets to cross Roadway Drive.
Pickets crowded around the truck and formed an inverted "un
around the vehicle ending at the doors. A picket held his
umbrella, so that the employer's video access to the right-hand
side of the vehicle would be blocked. Mr. McCoy's right front
tire was slashed. One or more of the pickets commented, "Oh
look, he has a flat tire," or words to that effect.
af. During the afternoon of April 13, 1994, Melissa
Stein, an employee of Roadway, was harassed while attempting to
cross the picket line.
ago Throughout the day on April 14, 1994, pickets
allowed egress from the Roadway Carlisle facility only if drivers
agreed to allow pickets to inspect the contento of the customer's
trailers, coming in and going out;
ah. During the afternoon of April 14, 1994, Sheron
Shaffer, a Roadway customer, was harassed, including the banging
of a sign on her car, by pickets as she attempted to enter the
Roadway facility.
ai. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 14, 1994, a truck
was blocked from exiting the facility. He carried no load. In
spite of assistance from the Silver Springs police, pickets
blocked the exit for more than thirty (30) minutes. A strike
captain was present during the incident.
aj. Incidents continue to occur on the date as the
amended pleading is being filed.
6. Defendants and others acting in concert with them have
shown no intent to comply with said Consent Order.

.
Wherefore, Plaintiff moves this Court to enter an Order for
enforcement of the Consent Order issued on April 8, 1994, and
respectfully requests that all costs of enforcement be assessed
against the Defendants.

DOCKET NO. 94-1782 Equity Term
Dear Attorney Weinstock:
The purpose of this letter is twofold. Primarily, I am
notifying you that blocking of vehicles and other harassing
activity is still occurring at Roadway's Carlisle/Middlesex
facility. Specific instances, as of this writing, include, but
are not limited to:
1. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 16, 1994, pickets
interfered with the right of a third party, Robert
Diehl, who owns property along Roadway Drive, to
enter and/or exit the area of the emergency
turnaround. Mr. Diehl has threatened legal action
if pickets do not vacate the road surface and
allow free access. He fears that a sale of his
property will be hindered, jeopardized or defeated
by the picketing across the Township road.
2. At or about 11:25 a.m. on April 18, 1994, a truck
picking up a delivery for Rite Aid was blocked by
pickets as it attempted to exit Roadway Drive.
The pickets slowly proceeded toward Route 11. The
pickets blocked the exit of the truck until
approximately 11:40 a.m. The driver refused to
allow pickets to inspect his truck, based on the
nature of the cargo.
3. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 18, 1994, a Biddle
Co. truck was blocked as it attempted to exit
Roadway Drive by pickets. The pickets slowly
EXHIBIT 1
Ira H. Weinstock, Esquire
April 20, 1994
page 2
proceeded toward Route 11. The pickets blocked
the truck until approximately 12:39 p.m. Charles
Shughart was on the strike line and yelled, "Like
this mother fucker," or words to that effect, at
management representatives and security guards.
4. At or about 1:45 p.m. on April 18, 1994, pickets
flashed mirrors at management representatives and
Pinkerton security in an attempt to harass.
5. At or about 2:25 p.m. on April 18, 1994, pickets
blocked a Visible System truck from exiting
Roadway Drive.
6. At or about 3:25 p.m. on April 18, 1994, a picket,
Greg Gates, stepped in front of a truck to make it
appear that he had been struck and injured by the
truck. Brian Stambaugh, a strike captain, was
present on the picket line at the time.
7. At or about 3:42 p.m. on April 18, 1994, a New
Deal truck was blocked by pickets as it attempted
to exit Roadway Drive. The pickets proceeded
slowly toward Route 11. The pickets blocked the
truck until approximately 3:55 p.m.
8. At or about 12:53 p.m. on April 19, 1994, a truck
from Harrisburg Electrical Supply, who was picking
up freight for "Indeeco," approached the picket
line and talked to Mark Page. The driver refused
to allow pickets to search or look in his unit.
pickets told him it would take him 45 minutes to
get out.
9. At or about 1:08 p.m. on April 19, 1994, the truck
from Harrisburg Electrical Supply tried to exit.
The driver would not allow the pickets to look in
his vehicle. The picket line then moved in front
of the truck and blocked his exit for almost
thirty (30) minutes.
10. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 20, 1994, ingress
of four (4) vehicles picking up shipments for the
New Cumberland Army Depot were delayed for one
hour and seven minutes as they attempted to enter
the facility. Charles Shughart was on the line
during the incident.

There is no satisfactory explanation for continued violation
of the Consent Order, and the Contempt Citation. Judge Hess made
it clear from the bench when he issued the Contempt Citation on
Friday, April 15, 1994, that Local 776 was violating numerous
portions of the Consent Order, including the specific provisions
on ingress/egress.
If it is not apparent to my client that this activity has
ceased and will not be repeated by the close of business on
April 20, 1994, we will seek administrative and/or judicial
relief, including, but not limited to, a request for a full and
prompt hearing on the Contempt Citation.
As a housekeeping matter, I am enclosing the original of the
letter that was faxed to you on Thursday evening, April 14, 1994,
notifying you of the focus for the hearing on Friday, April 15,
1994, on the contempt citation. You will recall that I provided
several clarifications to this letter on Friday morning,
April 15, 1994, which you noted on your faxed copy of the letter.

SECOND AMENDED MOTION FOR ENP'ORCEMENT ORDER
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
Roadway Express, Inc., by and through its attorneys,
Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation, hereby moves this
Court to enter an Order enforcing the Order of Court of April 8,
1994, upon the following grounds:
1. On Friday, April 8, 1994, after presentment of a
Complaint, affidavits and the posting of security in the amount
of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), this Court issued a Consent
Order against the named Defendants and all other parties acting
in concert with them and set April
-'
1994, at
a.m./p.m. as the date and time for a hearing on the enforcement
of the Consent Order. A true and correct copy of the said
Consent Order is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked
as Exhibit "A".
..l'-....,....
.
2.
At the time the Consent Order was issued, counsel for
Chauffers, Teamsters and Helpers Local 776 Union ("Local 776"),
and Ronald Tomasko, Esquire of the firm Ira H. Weinstock, P.C.,
was present in the Courtroom and was made aware of the contents
of the said Consent Order. True and correct copies of the said
Consent Order were served on Defendant Chauffers, Teamsters and
Helpers, Local Union No. 776 of the Brotherhood of Teamsters and
Thomas B. Griffith, President, Individually, and John and Jane
Does, Individually, all individually and as Trustees ad litem on
April 8, 1994. Service was accepted by counsel to Local 776.
3. Plaintiff has reproduced true and correct copies of
said Consent Order that have been served on the pickets at or
near Plaintiff's facilities, but the persons and pickets acting
in concert with them have refused and continue to refuse to obey
the terms of the said Consent Order.
4. Since April 8, 1994, Plaintiff has continually demanded
of Defendants and all persons and pickets acting in concert with
them that the terms of said Consent Order be obeyed.
5. The Defendants and others acting in concert with them
have violated and have shown their intent to continue to violate
the Consent Order issued on April 8, 1994, by the following
actions:
a. At or about 10:45 a.m. on April 9, 1994, the
Defendants and others acting in concert with them caused and
permitted approximately fifty-four (54) pickets to mass at and
near the entrances to Plaintiff's facilities located at Roadway'S
Carlisle facility, Middlesex Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and walk across Roadway Drive;

During the morning hours, from approximately 10:00
~
i
a.m. to 12:00 p.m., on April 9, 1994, pickets walked in a loop
across Roadway Drive in express violation of the Consent Order;
c. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 9, 1994,
approximately forty (40) pickets' cars parked in the emergency
turnaround location in violation of the express language
contained in the Consent Order prohibiting parking within 100
-3-
feet of the area;
d. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a Federal
Express vehicle stopped and pickets circled that vehicle blocking
it from entering the Roadway facility in express violation of the
Consent Order;
e. During the mid-afternoon of April 9, 1994, a
picket, identified as Bob Weakland, began using a large mirror to
harass security guards and management personnel; and,
f. At or about 5:40 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a picket's
car was parked in the emergency turnaround in express violation
of Section 6 (a) of the Consent Order;
g. At or about 7:59 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
shined spotlights in the eyes of security personnel for Roadway;
h. At or about 9:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
numbers forty-one (41) on line and twelve (12) more in area;
i. On April 10, 1994, Augie Tokis, a Roadway striker
who is approximately 6'4", carried a waist-high stick on the
picket line through most of the day;
j. At or about 7:15 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
pulled into Roadway Drive with an ASF trailer. Two individuals
.
.
I
.
,
stopped the trailer and talked to the pickets. The trailer did
not proceed into the facility;
k. At or about 7:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, there
were a total of sixty-three (63) pickets on Roadway Drive;
1.
At or about 9:10 a.m. on April 11, 1994, fifty-
~
nine (59) cars were parked on Roadway Drive;
m. At or about 9:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a total
of one hundred ten (110) picketers were on Roadway Drive;
n. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, Sheriff
Tom Kline and Chief Sherman told Roadway representatives that
they had received a report of C-4 explosives strapped to a diesel
tank. Roadway maintains a one million gallon tank close to the
area of the picketing. The report indicated that the explosives
would explode at 11:00 a.m. Rupture of that tank would cause
extreme damage and would cause the spill of a hazardous
substance;
o. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, pickets
formed a line and would not allow a Verbose truck to proceed
normally toward Route 11. Pickets formed a line and walked very
slowly in front of the tractor trailer. The activity of the
pickets significantly slowed the progress of the tractor trailer
between the Roadway Carlisle facility and Route 11;
p. At or about 10:08 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a Leslie
Faye truck driver backed his vehicle away without entering the
facility after pickets crowded around his trailer, and a Union
leader talked to the driver;
q. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994, Chuck
Shughart approached a Miller Trucking tractor trailer driven by
-4-
Stephen Batalka, and talked to Batalka. Shughart required
Batalka to open the back of the truck so that he could look in.
Shughart also told him that he wished to examine the contents
after the driver picked up his load;
r. While the tractor trailer was proceeding toward
Route 11, pickets hollered, "People will follow you wherever you
go when you get to Route 11" (or words to that effect). Pickets
also chanted "scab," called the driver a low life and said they
hoped he could sleep at night. Charles Shughart also screamed
"It is going to be a long day, buddy, a long day;"
s. On April 11, 1994, pickets massed and formed a
line that blocked the exit of the same Miller Trucking tractor
trailer. Pickets moved down Roadway Drive in front of the
tractor trailer until it reached the area of Carlisle Trucking.
As a result, it took approximately 45 to 50 minutes for the
tractor trailer to proceed from the gate area to Route 11;
t. Once the tractor trailer reached Route 11, Steve
Hockenberry, a Union member and striker, followed the tractor
trailer. He stopped and took video of the tractor trailer, which
had been stopped by the police;
u. During the afternoon of April 11, 1994 and other
occasions, technical violations were also observed. Pickets were
sometimes two deep. Pickets were not spaced 4.5 feet apart as
they walked, as required by the Consent Order. Pickets were
close enough to be holding hands. Pickets' cars were parked
within 100 feet of the turnaround. Two pickets held and shined
mirrors at security and management to impede videotaping of the
unlawful interference with the Miller Trucking tractor trailer;

v. At or about 3:11 p.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
was proceeding toward Route 11 until pickets blocked him. The
driver, Ian Peters, tried to proceed throughout the gap in the
line. Andy Reiley, a picket, blocked the truck and pushed on the
truck and banged on the hood. Peters, a Roadway maintenance
worker, then backed toward the gate area (the gate area is
closest to the Roadway buildings at the opposite end of Route 11
from Roadway Drive) at a slower speed, and traveled a distance of
about 50 to 75 feet. Mr. Peters stopped because Mr. Reiley was
saying that Mr. Peters had better not injure him in any way. At
this point Mr. Reiley hollered for additional help. Pickets
threatened Peters by stating that the would bust his "fucking

w. At or about 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994,
two (2) customers individually reported to me as they entered the
facility that they were intimidated by the requests to search
their vehicles. One woman was from Ascot Enterprises. The
second woman, who was accompanied by her infant child, was from
Thomas Marie Toll, and was visibly upset and exhibited stuttered
speech and kept looking around;
x. On April 11, 1994, a picket had a stick without a
picket sign;
y. Throughout the day on April 11, 1994, pickets
routinely asked drivers of incoming trucks or vans to honor their
picket line, and interrogated drivers as to the type of commodity
they were picking up;
z. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Linda
Young approached the picket line and pulled behind a little metal
-6-
-7-
truck. She then heard the pickets yelling behind her, so she
looked in her rearview mirror. She saw the men looking like they
were going to walk in front of a little silver car (Wanda
Garman). They were yelling at Ms. Garman loud enough that she
heard them with her windows up and her radio on;
aa. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Local 776
had a gray van stopped in the lane of Wanda Garman. The car in
front of her started to go around the van and Ms. Garman
followed. They were travelling very slowly. That is when Local
776 started to shout at them. Some of the comments were "slow
down," "you scabs," and then the one man gave them "the finger."
Another man made moves like he was going to cross in front of Ms.
Garman's car, at which time she had to apply the brake; and,
ab. At or about 9:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, pickets
blocked a driver from Burlington Coat Factory from exiting the
Roadway Carlisle facility. The vehicle was subsequently followed
and harassed by the drivers of a brown pick-up truck and a green
Chevy on a public highway.
ac. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 12, 1994, John
Sidenberry, the driver of a Ryder truck, who was picking up goods
for Lord and Taylor, was blocked by pickets for approximately
fifty (50) minutes as he attempted to exit the Roadway facility.
Pickets subsequently followed and harassed him on a public
highway.
ad. During the morning of April 13, 1994, ingress
and/or egress of at least three (3) trucks was blocked by
pickets.
ae. At or about 3:40 p.m. on April 13, 1994, Bob McCoy
stopped his truck to permit pickets to cross Roadway Drive.
Pickets crowded around the truck and formed an inverted "U"
around the vehicle ending at the doors. A picket held his
umbrella, so that the employer's video access to the right-hand
side of the vehicle would be blocked. Mr. McCoy's right front
tire was slashed. One or more of the pickets commented, "Oh
look, he has a flat tire," or words to that effect.
af. During the afternoon of April 13, 1994, Melissa
Stein, an employee of Roadway, was harassed while attempting to
cross the picket line.
ago Throughout the day on April 14, 1994, pickets
allowed egress from the Roadway Carlisle facility only if drivers
agreed to allow pickets to inspect the contents of the customer's
trailers, coming in and going out;
ah. During the afternoon of April 14, 1994, Sheron
Shaffer, a Roadway customer, was harassed, including the banging
of a sign on her car, by pickets as she attempted to enter the
Roadway facility.
ai. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 14, 1994, a truck
was blocked from exiting the facility. He carried no load. In

blocked the exit for more than thirty (30) minutes. A strike
captain was present during the incident.
aj. At or about 11:00 a.m. on April 15, 1994, pickets
blocked ingress of a Black Freightliner truck with a Conrail
trailer as it entered the Roadway facility. The truck eventually
entered the facility. When the truck attempted to exit the
-8-
,,",,,,>..,,;,' .
facility, pickets inspected the driver's paperwork. Pickets told
the driver that he was doing their work. Pickets told him they
would follow him for the rest of the day and protest. Pickets
blocked his exit from the facility until approximately 2:00 p.m.
One or more picket(s) in a pickup truck followed the Black
Freightliner truck from Roadway Drive to a location close to the
Conrail yard on Industrial Road in Harrisburg. Another car
approached and the occupants of that car threw rocks or other
material at a front tire of the truck.
ak. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 16, 1994, pickets
interfered with the right of a third party, Robert Diehl, who
owns property along Roadway Drive, to enter and/or exit the area
of the emergency turnaround. Mr. Diehl has threatened legal
action if pickets do not vacate the road surface and allow free
access on Roadway Drive in the vicinity of his property. He
fears that a sale of his property will be hindered, jeopardized
or defeated by the picketing and interference with ingress/egress
on Roadway Drive in the vicinity of his property.
al. At or about 11:25 a.m. on April 18, 1994, a truck
picking up a delivery for Rite Aid was blocked by pickets as it
attempted to exit Roadway Drive. The pickets slowly proceeded
toward Route 11. The pickets blocked the exit of the truck until

inspect his truck, based on the nature of the cargo.

Company truck was blocked as it attempted to exit Roadway Drive
by pickets. The pickets slowly proceeded toward Route 11. The

of four (4) vehicles picking up shipments for the New Cumberland
Army Depot were delayed for two hours and forty-nine minutes as
they attempted to enter the facility. Charles Shughart, Business
Agent for Local 776, and Andy Reiley, Strike Captain, were on the
line during the incident.
avo At or about 11:30 a.m. on April 20, 1994, Roadway

1994, one picketer, Kenny Burrows, flashed mirrors at Roadway
management and security personnel in an effort to harass and
interfere with videotaping.
ay. During the morning of April 21, 1994, pickets were
stopping tractor trailer trucks attempting to enter Roadway's
facility, prior to the time the trucks reached the picket line,
effectively forming two or more picket line locations.

SECOND AMENDED PETITION TO SHOW CAUSE WHY DEFENDANTS
SHOULD NOT BE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF COURT
~-
To The Honorable Judges of Said Court:
Roadway Express, Inc., by and through its attorneys,
Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation, hereby petitions
this Court to enter an Order on Defendants to show cause why they
should not be held in contempt, and respectfully represents:
1. On Friday, April 8, 1994, after presentment of a
Complaint, affidavits and the posting of security in the amount
of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), this Court issued an Order in
joining the named Defendants, and all other parties acting in
concert with them. A true and correct copy of the said Consent
Order is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as
Exhibit "A".
2. At the time the Consent Order was issued, counsel for
the Chauffers, Teamsters and Helpers Local 776 Union ("Local
776"), Ronald Tomasko, Esquire of the firm Ira H. Weinstock,
,
,
,
P.C., was present in the Courtroom and was made aware of the
contents of said Consent Order. Said attorney accepted service
for Local 776 and its members. True and correct copies of said
Consent Order were served on the parties on April 8, 1994.
3. Plaintiff has reproduced true and correct copies of
said Consent Order, that have been served on the pickets at or
near Plaintiff's facilities, but the pickets and persons acting
in concert with them have refused and continue to refuse to obey
the terms of the said Consent Order.
4. Since April 8, 1994, Plaintiff has continually demanded
of Defendants and all persons and pickets acting in concert with
them that the terms of said Consent Order be obeyed.
5. The Defendants and others acting in concert with them
have violated and have shown their intent to continue to violate
the Consent Order issued on April 8, ~994, by the following
actions:
a. At or about ~0:45 a.m. on April 9, 1994, the
Defendants and others acting in concert with them caused and
permitted approximately fifty-four (54) pickets to mass at and
near the entrances to Plaintiff's facilities located at Roadway's
Carlisle facility, Middlesex Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and walk across Roadway Drive;
b. During the morning hours, from approximately 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m., on April 9, 1994, pickets walked in a loop
across Roadway Drive in express violation of the Consent Order;
c. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 9, 1994,
approximately forty (40) pickets' cars parked in the emergency
turnaround location in violation of the express language
-2-
,
'.
.
.
"
.
contained in the Consent Order prohibiting parking within 100
feet of the area;
d. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a Federal
Express vehicle stopped and pickets circled that vehicle blocking
it from entering the Roadway facility in express violation of the
Consent Order;
e. During the mid-afternoon of April 9, 1994, a
picket, identified as Bob Weakland, began using a large mirror to
harass security guards and management personnel; and,
f. At or about 5:40 p.m. on April 9, 1994, a picket's
car was parked in the emergency turnaround in express violation
of Section 6 (a) of the Consent Order;
g. At or about 7:59 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
shined spotlights in the eyes of security personnel for Roadway;
h. At or about 9:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
numbers forty-one (41) on line and twelve (12) more in area;
i. On April 10, 1994, Augie Tokis, a Roadway striker
who is approximately 6'4", carried a waist-high stick on the
picket line through most of the day;
j. At or about 7:15 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
pulled into Roadway Drive with an ASF trailer. Two individuals
stopped the trailer and talked to the pickets. The trailer did
not proceed into the facility;
k. At or about 7:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, there
were a total of sixty-three (63) pickets on Roadway Drive;
1. At or about 9:10 a.m. on April 11, 1994, fifty-
nine (59) cars were parked on Roadway Drive;

,
,
m. At or about 9:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a total
of one hundred ten (110) picketers were on Roadway Drive;
n. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, Sheriff
Tom Kline and Chief Sherman told Roadway representatives that
they had received a report of C-4 explosives strapped to a diesel
tank. Roadway maintains a one million gallon tank close to the
area of the picketing. The report indicated that the explosives
would explode at 11:00 a.m. Rupture of that tank would cause
extreme damage and would cause the spill of a hazardous
substance;
o. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, pickets
formed a line and would not allow a Verbose truck to proceed
normally toward Route 11. pickets formed a line and walked very
slowly in front of the tractor trailer. The activity of the
pickets significantly slowed the progress of the tractor trailer
between the Roadway Carlisle facility and Route 11;
p. At or about 10:08 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a Leslie
Faye truck driver backed his vehicle away without entering the
facility after pickets crowded around his trailer, and a Union
leader talked to the driver;
q. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994, Chuck
Shughart approached a Miller Trucking tractor trailer driven by
Stephen Batalka, and talked to Batalka. Shughart required
Batalka to open the back of the truck so that he could look in.
Shughart also told him that he wished to examine the contents
after the driver picked up his load;
r. While the tractor trailer was proceeding toward
Route 11, pickets hollered, "People will follow you wherever you
-4-
;;;,:'
.'
"
;'<
1;
~o
go when you get to Route 11" (or words to that effect). Pickets
also chanted 'scab," called the driver a low life and said they
hoped he could sleep at night. Charles Shughart also screamed
"It is going to be a long day, buddy, a long day;"
s. On April 11, 1994, pickets massed and formed a
line that blocked the exit of the same Miller Trucking tractor
trailer. Pickets moved down Roadway Drive in front of the
tractor trailer until it reached the area of Carlisle Trucking.
As a result, it took approximately 45 to 50 minutes for the
tractor trailer to proceed from the gate area to Route 11;
t. Once the tractor trailer reached Route 11, Steve
Hockenberry, a Union member and striker, followed the tractor

Carlisle facility, Middlesex Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and walk across Roadway Drive;
-2-
b. During the morning hours, from approximately 10:00

feet of the area;

shined spotlights in the eyes of security personnel for Roadway;
h. At or about 9:30 p.m. on April 9, 1994, pickets
numbers forty-one (41) on line and twelve (12) more in area;
i. On April 10, 1994, Augie Tokis, a Roadway striker
who is approximately 6'4", carried a waist-high stick on the
picket line through most of the day;
j. At or about 7:15 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
pulled into Roadway Drive with an ASF trailer. Two individuals
-3-
, .
stopped the trailer and talked to the pickets. The trailer did
not proceed into the facility;
k. At or about 7:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, there
were a total of sixty-three (63) pickets on Roadway Drive;
1. At or about 9:10 a.m. on April 11, 1994, fifty-
nine (59) cars were parked on Roadway Drive;
m. At or about 9:30 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a total
of one hundred ten (110) picketers were on Roadway Drive;
n. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, Sheriff
Tom Kline and Chief Sherman told Roadway representatives that
they had received a report of C-4 explosives strapped to a diesel
tank. Roadway maintains a one million gallon tank close to the
area of the picketing. The report indicated that the explosives
would explode at 11:00 a.m. Rupture of that tank would cause
extreme damage and would cause the spill of a hazardous
substance;
o. At or about 10:00 a.m. on April 11, 1994, pickets
formed a line and would not allow a Verbose truck to proceed
normally toward Route 11. Pickets formed a line and walked very
slowly in front of the tractor trailer. The activity of the
pickets significantly slowed the progress of the tractor trailer
between the Roadway Carlisle facility and Route 11;
p. At or about 10:08 a.m. on April 11, 1994, a Leslie
Faye truck driver backed his vehicle away without entering the

q. At or about 12:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994, Chuck
Shughart approached a Miller Trucking tractor trailer driven by
-4-
Stephen Batalka, and talked to Batalka. Shughart required
Batalka to open the back of the truck so that he could look in.
Shughart also told him that he wished to examine the contents
after the driver picked up his load;
r. While the tractor trailer was proceeding toward
Route 11, pickets hollered, "people will follow you wherever you
go when you get to Route 11" (or words to that effect). Pickets
also chanted "scab," called the driver a low life and said they
hoped he could sleep at night. Charles Shughart also screamed
"It is going to be a long day, buddy, a long day;"
s. On April 11, 1994, pickets massed and formed a
line that blocked the exit of the same Miller Trucking tractor
trailer. Pickets moved down Roadway Drive in front of the
tractor trailer until it reached the area of Carlisle Trucking.
As a result, it took approximately 45 to 50 minutes for the
tractor trailer to proceed from the gate area to Route 11;
t. Once the tractor trailer reached Route 11, Steve
Hockenberry, a Union member and striker, followed the tractor
trailer. He stopped and took video of the tractor trailer, which
had been stopped by the police;
u. During the afternoon of April 11, 1994 and other
occasions, technical violations were also observed. Pickets were
sometimes two deep. Pickets were not spaced 4.5 feet apart as
they walked, as required by the Consent Order. Pickets were
close enough to be holding hands. Pickets' cars were parked
within 100 feet of the turnaround. Two pickets held and shined
mirrors at security and management to impede videotaping of the
unlawful interference with the Miller Trucking tractor trailer;
-5-
v. At or about 3:11 p.m. on April 11, 1994, a truck
was proceeding toward Route 11 until pickets blocked him. The
driver, Ian Peters, tried to proceed throughout the gap in the
line. Andy Reiley, a picket, blocked the truck and pushed on the
truck and banged on the hood. Peters, a Roadway maintenance
worker, then backed toward the gate area (the gate area is
closest to the Roadway buildings at the opposite end of Route 11
from Roadway Drive) at a slower speed, and traveled a distance of
about 50 to 75 feet. Mr. Peters stopped because Mr. Reiley was
saying that Mr. Peters had better not injure him in any way. At
this point Mr. Reiley hollered for additional help. Pickets
threatened Peters by stating that the would bust his "fucking
head open;"
w. At or about 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on April 11, 1994,
two (2) customers individually reported to me as they entered the
facility that they were intimidated by the requests to search
their vehicles. One woman was from Ascot Enterprises. The
second woman, who was accompanied by her infant child, was from
Thomas Marie Toll, and was visibly upset and exhibited stuttered
speech and kept looking around;
x. On April 11, 1994, a picket had a stick without a
picket sign;
y. Throughout the day on April 11, 1994, pickets
routinely asked drivers of incoming trucks or vans to honor their
picket line, and interrogated drivers as to the type of commodity
they were picking up;
Z. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Linda
Young approached the picket line and pulled behind a little metal
-6-
.truck. She then heard the pickets yelling behind her, so she
looked in her rearview mirror. She saw the men looking like they
were going to walk in front of a little silver car (Wanda
Garman). They were yelling at Ms. Garman loud enough that she
heard them with her windows up and her radio on;
aa. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Local 776
had a gray van stopped in the lane of Wanda Garman. The car in
front of her started to go around the van and Ms. Garman
followed. They were travelling very slowly. That is when Local
776 started to shout at them. Some of the comments were "slow
down," "you scabs," and then the one man gave them "the finger."
Another man made moves like he was going to cross in front of Ms.
Garman's car, at which time she had to apply the brake; and,
ab. At or about 9:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, pickets
blocked a driver from Burlington Coat Factory from exiting the
Roadway Carlisle facility. The vehicle was subsequently followed
and harassed by the drivers of a brown pick-up truck and a green
Chevy on a public highway.
ac. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 12, 1994, Bob
Sidenberry, the driver of a Ryder truck, who was picking up goods
for Lord and Taylor, was blocked by pickets for approximately
fifty (50) minutes as he attempted to exit the Roadway facility.
Pickets subsequently followed and harassed him on a public
highway.
ad. During the morning of April 13, 1994, ingress
and/or egress of at least three (3) trucks was blocked by
pickets.

(
..
ae. At or about 3:40 p.m. on April 13, 1994, Bob McCoy
stopped his truck to permit pickets to cross Roadway Drive.
Pickets crowded around the truck and formed an inverted "U.
around the vehicle ending at the doors. A picket held his
umbrella, so that the employer's video access to the right-hand
side of the vehicle would be blocked. Mr. McCoy's right front
tire was slashed. One or more of the pickets commented, .Oh
look, he has a flat tire,. or words to that effect.
af. During the afternoon of April 13, 1994, Melissa
Stein, an employee of Roadway, was harassed while attempting to
cross the picket line.
ago Throughout the day on April 14, 1994, pickets
allowed egreAs from the Roadway Carlisle facility only if drivers
agreed to allow pickets to inspect the contents of the customer's
trailers, coming in and going out;
ah. During the afternoon of April 14, 1994, Sheron
Shaffer, a Roadway customer, was harassed, including the banging
of a sign on her car, by pickets as she attempted to enter the
Roadway facility.
ai. At or about 7:00 p.m. on April 14, 1994, a truck
was blocked from exiting the facility. He carried no load. In
spite of assistance from the Silver Springs police, pickets
blocked the exit for more than thirty (30) minutes. A strike
captain was present during the incident.
aj. Incidents continue to occur on the date as the
amended pleading is being filed.
6. Defendants and others acting in concert with them have
shown no intent to comply with said Consent Order.

respectfully requests that all costs of enforcement be assessed
against the Defendants.

speech and kept looking around;

Young approached the picket line and pulled behind a little metal
truck. She then heard the pickets yelling behind her, so she
looked in her rearview mirror. She saw the men looking like they
were going to walk in front of a little silver car (Wanda
Garman). They were yelling at Ms. Garman loud enough that she
heard them with her windows up and her radio on;

f' .-_
aa. At or about 7:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, Local 776
had a gray van stopped in the lane of Wanda Garman. The car in
front of her started to go around the van and Ms. Garman
followed. They were travelling very slowly. That is when Local
776 started to shout at them. Some of the comments were "slow
down," "you scabs," and then the one man gave them "the finger."
Another man made moves like he was going to cross in front of Ms.
Garman's car, at which time she had to apply the brake;
ab. At or about 9:45 a.m. on April 12, 1994, pickets

Chevy on a public highway.
ac. At or about 12:30 p.m. on April 12, 1994, Bob
Sidenberry, the driver of a Ryder truck, who was picking up goods

highway.

and/or egress of at least three (3) trucks was blocked by
pickets.
ae. At or about 3:40 p.m. on April 13, 1994, Bob McCoy
stopped his truck to permit pickets to cross Roadway Drive.
Pickets crowded around the truck and formed an inverted "U"
around the vehicle ending at the doors. A picket held his
umbrella, so that the employer's video access to the right-hand
side of the vehicle would be blocked. Mr. McCoy's right front
-7-
tire was slashed. One or more of the pickets commented, "Oh
look, he has a flat tire," or words to that effect.
af. During the afternoon of April 13, 1994, Melissa
Stein, an employee of Roadway, was harassed while attempting to
cross the picket line.

allowed egress from the Roadway Carlisle facility only if drivers
agreed to allow pickets to inspect the contents of the customer's
trailers, coming in and going out;
ah. During the afternoon of April 14, 1994, Sheron
Shaffer, a Roadway customer, was harassed, including the banging

of the Consent Order without need for additional court
intervention, have been reporting the infractions of the Consent
Order to either Charles Shughart, or counsel to Local 776.
Violations continued.
10. The failure of the Defendants and others acting in
concert with them to comply with the Consent Order issued on
April 8, 1994, has damaged and interfered with the lawful
operations with the limited lawful operation of the Plaintiff,
and has cost the Plaintiff additional sums of money to have said

irreparable injury to the Plaintiff.
11. Defendants and others acting in concert with them have

12. The aforesaid actions and conduct of the Defendants and

ORDER OP COURT
AND NOW, this 26th day of April, 1994, at 11115
a.m., the court finding that willful violations of the order of
April 8, 1994, have been established by clear and convincing
evidence, and the court finding that since the issuance of the

violations of the consent decree entered April 8, 1994, and
specifically the provisions thereof enjoining the obstructing or
interfering wit~ the business or operations of the plaintiff and
deliveries to and from the plaintiff's facilities, and
specifically by the practice of "escorting" or "walkout", and by
not opening the picket line to facilitate passage of employees

persons from the facility of the plaintiff, the defendants are
herewith adjudged in contempt.
A fine of $5,000.00 payable to the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania for the use of the plaintiff is conditionally
