Lead packager fired by idiot manager

Way back in 1996. I worked at a manufacturing business. It was a worldwide company. Later bought out by Technicolor. We got a new manager. Guy was really trying to prove himself. He fired our lead guy. No real reason at all. Just to assert power. Our entire shift got together, and signed a paper, saying if they did not bring him back, we would all walk. They brought him back. It is the only time I have ever worked with a group of people like that. That would stand up like that. I lead a unionization effort at my last job that failed. I cannot understand how people will not stand up together and not take it. I will always remember that moment in 1986 as the day we stuck it to the manager!
