Vancouver Longshoremen Sabotage Terminal- Locked Out

http://www.oregonlive.com/business/...d_grain_locks_out_longsho.html#incart_m-rpt-2

Union (read, organized crime) are long known for sabotage, murders, intimidation... and this time they seem to have been caught in the act. Considering they make well over $135,000 per year for doing little work, this may be a good thing. At some point in time the business has a right to protect its assets.

 

I was supposed to have a meeting at Great Western Malting today at 11:30. Couldn't cross the picket line when I arrived at 11:10, and GWM told me we'd reschedule ASAP, that they have nothing to do with the union, and it's impacting their business. They were not happy to have their business negatively impacted, since the union has nothing to do with Gate 5, yet the main entrance was blocked. I'm going back tomorrow to try and get in, and will be filming and taking pictures of it.

 

BUMP

 

Whores.

Every last one of them.

 

I have just never understood why unions turn to thuggery, murder... whenever they want more money or to not be in charge.

 

That's not "whenever" that's "when some of them" The same could be said of cops (who I guess are a union too). Please send up a cry against the police.

 

Well, with unions it such a consistent recurring theme.

 

oh come on! don't be ridiculous. Teachers are all unionized, tell me the last time a teacher acted like a true "thug." These guys are f''ing dock workers, what do you expect?

 

Sorry, my mistake... I meant to say unions like longshoreman... I wasn't referring to white collar unions.

 

It's the kind of people they are, not that they are in a union.

 

I will disagree on that one. It's organized crime.

yeah those unions are definitely the villains.

 

You and zags are the official S2 union butt boys. Stay bent over.

 

I don't work for a union, but my brother and mom do.

 

I used to be a Teamster and then in SEIU. Neither did me any favors.

 

Sounds like your opinion of unions is based on bad personal experiences. Others here have had good experiences being part of the union.

If unions are organized crime, then so are alot of other aspects in our society that are organized crime. Wallstreet is the organized crime in my world. Democrats are the organized crime for Denny.

 

A lot of union envy up in this bitch.

I'm ready for another raise.

 

A poster child for union workers, you are not.

 

Yeah?

 

Yeah, it's too bad to. There is already enough misunderstanding about unions (IMO) and you don't help.

But at least I get some amusement out of you pushing buttons . . . feel sorry for your girl if you are pissed at her.
