   You don’t actually expect union labor to be out there in the hot sun doing something productive, do you?

   They’re not school teachers, so at least the signs are spelled properly.

   In other words, Union Labor inadvertently discloses why they need pay raises during this economic downturn….to hire more non-union protesters to shake down more businesses.

   I am just surprised they did not use illegal immigrants…after all they do jobs Americans wont do and all.

    Lessee….the Obama administration funds unions with tax money they’ve taken from people who work for the companies that the unions are protesting, and the unions use it to hire rent-a-protesters who don’t work for those companies, so that the companies will pay more money to the people who do work for them (and have to raise thier prices), so the government will be able to tax them even more and give more to the unions to hire more protesters….

    This would be laughable if it wasn’t all a big con game with our money.

    A few years ago our Teamsters Local 988 sold their old union hall on I-10 near downtown Houston for a handsome amount of money. When it came time to build a new hall the local carpenters union got upset they would not hire union labor.

    “Too expensive” said the Teamsters. Gotta love a Right to Work state.

    Okay, tell me what good comes from unions again. I can’t seem to understand their purpose….they want to drive employers out of business with their excessive demands, right? Okay, so wouldn’t that mean that they will lose their jobs. Maybe it’s me…sigh.

    Typical democrat/union rent a mob. I didn’t see Rev Sharpton or Jackson, so this rent a mob must be a union photo-op. The party of the little people! Give them minimum wage no benefit jobs walking a picket line in 94 degree heat while the union workers are sitting in their air conditioned offices. Just like the democrat party, run by multimillionaire limosine liberals like Kerry and Pelosi, with backing by the trial lawyers and wall street bankers, and BSing the people that they are for the little guy.

    Unions, good at one point. Now just money hungry organizations who seek to control their members and influence elections based on the views of the Union leadership.

    Guess who the AFL-CIO hired to build their new office building around Washington, DC? Yep, non-union labor. It was cheaper.

    Guess where lefty Hollyweird filmed Brokeback Mountain? Yep, Canada. No union labor – it’s cheaper.

    Guess why intelligent people laugh at liberal hypocrisy? Because if we weren’t laughing, we’d be crying knowing that this liberal stupidity is so pervasive.

    More potential trouble for SEIU on the horizon.

    More than 44,000 Kaiser Permanente employees are set to vote next month in what is expected to be the largest private-sector union election since the United Auto Workers organized Ford Motor Co. in 1941.

    In an unusual battle between labor unions, the employees will vote on whether to stick with SEIU or join the upstart National Union of Healthcare Workers.

    “The stakes are huge. If SEIU loses, it’s the beginning of the end of SEIU being in health care,” said Sal Rosselli, who used to run SEIU-UHW until the international union ousted him and he set up the rival National Union of Healthcare Workers.

    Let’s see…

    The union pays non union members in cash to picket for unionization of a particular construction site. The union isn’t paying any payroll taxes on their “employees” and offers them no benefits, yet the property owner is “evil”?

    Sound about right?
