Union-Only Port Terminal Suspends Operations
Committee President Mark Mix: “If I were a Leatherman dockworker, I certainly wouldn’t count on Longshore Union bosses to show any flexibility” to get the terminal reopened and “save my job.”
Attention Atlanta Taxpayers
Hold on your your wallets if you are a taxpayer in Atlanta. The union bosses are demanding their due.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Steve Visser reports that big labor expects big favors from new mayor Kasim Reed. Local union boss Charlie Flemming says “we did a lot of work and we spent a lot of our resources” supporting Reed. It should be noted that it wasn’t Flemming’s resources but worker’s dues money that was spent but that is another story. Flemming is demanding that Reed pay them back with kickback and favoritism.
