Windsor union leaders threaten pickets and legal action to save the jobs of 28 members who appeared in a video flashing their middle fingers.

The Sheet Metal Workers and Roofers Union said most of the people who appear in the video, which was posted on social media, were tricked into it by another employee.

Union leaders had a meeting Thursday with the contractors to discuss the situation.
