Wanna get an inside look at the SCI lockout going down in Chicago? The blog’Life on the Line’ is probably as close to a real perspective as you’re going to get.

The blog is written by members of the teamster union who are affected by the SCI lockout. The blog covers many topics including:

Bloomberg Business Week calls SCI 1,000 pound gorilla

How to not run a funeral procession in Chicago

So how much money has SCI spent on this Strike/Lock Out situation?

There is also a very telling post that states SCI has spent over $1.6 MILLION on the lockout so far. It would be interesting to read a blog about the lockout written from SCI’s perspective.
