Although 3 of these crews are from Alabama, they are from different utilities and were not there all together. Apparently different crews had different encounters, and one of them was told they needed to temporarily affiliate in with the union in order to work.
After all, many utilities assisted in Alabama during last year's tornado aftermath and the hurricanes that ravage the coast from time to time. We certainly want to return the favor!
But with nowhere to work, and with shelter, food, and gasoline in short supply, one crew elected to return home.
I imagine we'll hear more about this in the next day or two.
