Looks like a shot from the movie Unbreakable.

Per here:

The person in that photo is Jason Schultz, a 44-year-old forklift operator who works in packaging at the Kellogg’s factory in Omaha, Nebraska, where workers have been on strike since October 5. The factory makes 27 products, including Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes, Corn Flakes, Special K, and Corn Pops.

When a rainstorm swept through Omaha this week, gusty winds blew union tents over, and many workers headed to their cars for shelter, but Schultz decided to stay on the picket and get drenched.

“I decided to stay out there because we had cars coming by, and that’s why we’re out there, to make sure everyone knows we’re not leaving,” Schultz told Motherboard. “We are prepared to stay out one day longer than the company if that's what it takes.”

A strike captain, Schultz is in charge of ensuring that one of the factory’s six gates is manned 24/7 during the strike. This is for increasing the strike’s visibility to cars and people passing by, but also to prevent other workers from crossing their picket line, which is a violation of unionized workers’ contracts. (Kellogg’s has reportedly hired replacement workers, known as “scabs” to keep production going during the strike.)

And did this situation end? Or is the strike still going?
