The meeting ended in a walkout by the union negotiators.
The complaints that precede the walkouts are constructed so as to identify deleterious and generic personal deficiencies.
The walkout tactic is also risky, because it requires high co-ordination and compliance among majority members.
Following the walkout, nobody seems to have been fired.
As well as ending in walkouts, these sequences end with one or both of the par ticipants evidently in an indignant or distraught state.
The sequences that precede the three walkouts are quite long, extending over several pages of transcript.
Although each of the sequences in its detail has features that make it distinctive, it is also possible to discern some common elements in the events immediately preceding the walkout.
One reason for being interested in the shape of arguments preceding walkouts is that they may hold clues as to how more serious argument escalations occur.
When a theatre audience is scandalized by a performance, it often enacts its protest in a highly theatrical way, using catcalls, walkouts, and even fists to express its disapproval.
