Well, I do know that there was *some* sabotage.  A fiber cable was
cut, with a hatchet, with the result that among other things, Rutgers
was knocked off Internet for two days.  I don't think that NJ Bell
would use a hatchet - knowing that they'd have to fix it - if they
wanted to make the unions look bad.
