ALL IS IN GOOD HANDS AT SHOREHAM

Shoreham is the closest to what one can imagine as being the perfect

picket line. Two gate captains, one male, one female dressed in their

orange and yellow security jacket monitor and marshall the line with

constance and energy. Shoreham is a gate in/gate out line. One shift

leader per street side keep the car in control. Calling the openings and

the closing in good method, and the line moves with harmony. The two gate

captains talk to their line, keeping them aware of everything happening.

Including the entrance and exit of visitors to the line. At a certain

moment we even had a session of Exercices & Slogans. "Up, up, up with the

wages. Down, down, down with the tuition fees!"

The drivers were particularly supportive. Bringing donuts and honking

encouragements. Go walk Shoreham. You will encounter cheer and security.

All is in good hands over there. One of the gate captains is even bilingual.

En avant la barricade Shoreham!
