Well if I started something I would be leaving on a stretcher. I am not a big guy. I could probably take one down but the 6 others would make quick work of me.

I'd go out swinging then sue the pants off them and your company for not providing a safe work environment.
Don't assume that everything unions do is bad.
I have a friend who is a teacher. She was reprimanded by her principal for pumping breastmilk (she is breastfeeding her newborn) in her private office over lunch. If you don't know, not pumping or breastfeeding is painful for the mother. It takes 20 minutes during which time she can grade papers or prepare lessons. The principal said that she while she was on the job she couldn't do anything that wasn't work. The union has intervened to help the principal understand why it is to his benefit to let her do this.
Since the dawn of time, bosses have taken advantage of the workers. In the absence of government regulations, the unions enable people to take back a little bit of power.
Clearly many union workers abuse that power--thus the decline and fall of american auto manufacturers--but unions are important and valuable to teachers, nurses, police, fire and rescue workers, and many other important and underapreciated professions.
Derogatory generalizations can be made about any group based upon anecdotal evidence of offensive behavior.

I think I would be off the clock, and I believe I am off company grounds after I pass the picket line.
And I wouldnt go out swinging, I would go out stabbing. I keep a screwdriver close by in the car for such occasions.
Well the way I look at it, when you walk off the job, you should walk off the job. Not stand around and complain when the company hires someone to replace you, and then take that aggression out on the people who didn't walk off with you.
Well, normally the OP wouldn't let some one give it to him up the ass like that, but.....oh God, nevermind
I'm not sure what is more disgusting... you getting spit on or you having to work on Thanksgiving.

what a disgusting pig, and well... it goes that he isn't intelligent enough to realize unions aren't helping him keep his job.
Similar incident happened to me a few years ago. I didnt get spit on, but where I was working had a union strike, the rule was they could block the entrance for 30 minutes. So I would just sit back, relax in my car for 30 minutes. I was a summer hire at the time. They called me scab, go back to college, etc. I got paid pretty handsomely though, worked a ton of hours, was given free lunch.

It would appear it is considered assault and battery to spit on someone.

Ah yes, the e-thugs come out.
There are 7 guys and just one of him. What is he going to do? Say something? Do something? Then what? He just has 7 guys spitting at him (or worse).
And seriously, police have much better things to do with their time than fill out a report for a "spitting incident".
It's gross. It sucks. But the best thing you can do is to simply ignore it and get on with your life. They want attention and not giving it to them is your best option.

Just sit there next time with your brakes on and do a burn out. The smoke from the rubber is very disguisting and will probably get them to move.
Actually in most states that's assault. File a police report. Of course, if you don't know which one did it then nothing much will happen.

You drove your personal car through a picket line and it just got spat on? Consider yourself lucky.
Goodyear should be providing off-site parking and bussing everyone in.
