The primary decision is whether production will continue despite the strike. If the facility is closed, there are fewer problems. In this case, the security director must prevent minor vandalism and facilitate the arrival and departure of managment personnel. If production is continued, problems range from disrupting ingress and egress to actual sabotage of the facility. Planning requires deciding what to protect and then determining boundaries, checking lighting, and providing for the protection of managerial personnel and their families. A strike management team also should be formed. The team should consist of the president or manager, an attorney knowledgeable in labor relations law, a team commander, and an experienced strike group. The well-equipped strike force should have jumpsuits, boots, radios, mace, riot shields, helmets, batons, and bullet-resistant vests. Once the strike force is selected it should be housed on the property in readiness of potential trouble. Photographs.
