When you keep giving Big Labor the green light to ignore the laws and rules that others have to obey, Big Labor begins to believe it has no rules as illustrated at this Seattle port. From the Associated Press:
Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha.
Six guards were held hostage for a couple of hours after 500 or more Longshoremen broke down gates about 4:30 a.m. and smashed windows in the guard shack, he said.
Police from several agencies in southwest Washington, the Washington State Patrol and Burlington Northern Santa Fe responded to the violence to secure the scene that followed a demonstration Wednesday.
“We’re not surprised,” Duscha said. “A lot of the protesters were telling us this in only the start.”
Just say no to government union bargaining in Virginia In our Republic, all citizens have a right to petition their elected officials for redress of grievances, but no one should have special access to decisions over spending public funds, which monopoly bargaining grants union officials.
"Fill the boot". a charity campaign designed to raise money for children with muscular dystrophy, is actually filling the pockets of union bosses instead.
Unfortunately, employees who labor in non-Right to Work states like New Hampshire can be fired and/or denied future job opportunities simply because they refuse to continue putting money in the pockets of union bosses like Doug McCarron and Frank Spencer.
