Kerry To Cross Picket Lines?
Anyone in the Boston area know what is up with the police and firefighters unions in Boston and their labor dispute? Will they get it resolved by Tuesday night? If they don't get it resolved, what will happen to the convention?

3. thought at least for the firefighters it was
Saw on the news a tentative agreement was reached with the firefighters union.

They said it was a big save for the convention since no one wanted to see Dems cross a picket.

4. NO!!!
The protesters have said they will not picket Kerry when he's at the convention, so he can't cross the picket line if it doesn't exist

6. The Unions Were Never Going to Picket The Fleet Center
the contracts have been resolved, but the unions pledged some time ago not to picket the convention site.

7. The last of the labor disputes was resolved on Saturday
There are no labor related picket lines for Kerry to cross.
