It's about time these out of control unions were put in their place.

I think every single union in the city should stop working just for one day just to shut the cry babies up

That would include police & fire also.....OH NOES...dont forget they are union also.

A perfect example of why I dislike unions. "Hey, in stead of getting respect by doing a good job, let's get respect by putting the city in a choke hold."

Swell.

Ugh, you have to look at the flaw in that logic, surely?

Slowdowns and work stoppages are about the only bargaining chips unions have because businesses cannot operate without labor... that's why they're unions.

You're one of the biggest crybabies on these threads. Well, you and some of the other union guys. Just remember when you talk about all the unions not showing up for work one day that backfires do happen. Remember when Reagan fired the air traffic controllers? They weren't as important as they thought. You might not be either.

He's friends with my wife's aunt and uncle. I met him once. Pretty cool guy, though he definitely had some legal troubles with the company who bought him out.

Just to check, does the Laborer's union operate like some of the other unions in that if you show up for work but are unable to work because of say bad weather, you get a full days pay?
