Union v. union
Yesterday, I harshly commented about union violence in Longview WA, where longshoremen held security guards hostage and damaged equipment, including cutting rail car brake lines.
The reason for the violence is interesting: the ILWU hoodlums claim they should be hired to work at the terminal, but the terminal operator hired a contractor that uses members of the Operating Engineers Union.
A judge has issued an injunction against the union. The local's president says that he doesn't believe that his members have been involved in illegal activity, and that it's all the company's fault. The judge is considering citing the ILWU for contempt. He actually should be issuing arrest warrants.

Word watch
Icon: used to represent a person or thing of great cultural significance. If this is the case, SpongeBob SquarePants is of great cultural significance. Thoroughly overused and misused by the lazy media, along with derivative "iconic."
I enjoyed your harsh comments. I went to another blog close to the scene of the Labor crime and commented harshly x10. Due to my delicate nature, and timid ideological under pinnings, I will spare the readers here.
ReplyDeleteHi WW!
ReplyDeletePlease direct me to the harsh comments.
KOINlocal6.com seems to have taken them down overnite. I just checked. I had a number of supporters but legions of furious detractors. Those thug boys just don't see any humor or irony in life.
