Koester observed four to five vehicles which at various points along the route moved to the front, side and rear of Gara-nella’s truck so that he was periodically surrounded on three sides by strikers’ vehicles. Garanella did not testify, but the substance of what his testimony would be was entered into the record by stipulation. This stipulation largely corroborated Koes-ter’s testimony as to the existence of “bracketing” — bracketing being the act of surrounding a moving vehicle with other vehicles to control the pace and direction of movement of the bracketed vehicle. Additionally, it established that the followers’ actions were perceived by Garanella to be harassing, intimidating and frightening. It was conceded, however, that no physical harm befell him as a result of this incident. During his testimony, Petitioner Girard, chief executive officer of the Union, acknowledged that bracketing would be wrong; that it could cause an accident.
