Women staged the union's first act of civil disobedience when they took over the lobby of Pittston's headquarters in Lebanon on April 18, 1989. During their occupation, the union women sang hymns and strike songs and waved small American flags. After 30 hours, they left - to an emotional reunion with their husbands, who had kept a vigil at the edge of Pittston property. B&W.
