Unions are terrorist organizations at laws need to be passed making it a felony to be a member of one.
wow
No ones going to hear about it until the powers restored. By then it’ll be out of sight out of mind. They’ll be a little crying but it will be quickly squandered .
I think it will for a lot of those who hear about it

The Northeast may be in for another shocker, homeowner insurance increases and in some areas none could be available. I went through hurricanes Francis,Jean(2004) and Wilma(2005) here in SE FL. My homeowners jumped from about $850 per year to $4450 per year. Then you’ll have the power companies asking for increases for all the repairs needed. When the lights go back on, it’s not over.
Long Island power’s outage map is no longer functioning it seems. Late last week it showed 510,000 people without power.

They find it “Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven”. However, This makes it worse for those who have to live there.
I doubt any right to work states complied.
laws need to be passed making it a felony to be a member of one.
Before thhat there needs to be more widespread “right to work” laws in order to break the union strangleholds. Otherwise in certain crafts workers have no choice but to join the union.
Note that in right to work states, there are companies that are non union shops that pay much pay much better than their union shop counterparts.
Just wait and hear the moaning and bitching when the insurance companies start dropping people coverage or their premiums triple in cost..
Welcome to the Florida nightmare every time we get hit...
Bump
Although ‘born’ in 1939 and - I guess STOOPID - compared to todays youngsters because in 1948 I was wondering about Bob Feller and the Cleveland Indians and all the Brooklyn Dodgers who just came back from being ‘away’ - we as 9 year olds would never have thought of going to a rally held by Mrs Truman and telling her that good thing Dewey wasn’t elected because (fill in the blanks) even though the parents sitting around may have been parroting such sentiments etc etc etc....
Now I do remember ‘they’ taught us HISTORY in school and between ‘fact’ and ‘fiction’ do recall an incident regarding HST and the Railway Unions.
Seems like they had a dispute and were going to either stop the railroads or go on strike when ‘Give ‘em Hell, Harry’ offered them a ‘deal’ a union goon couldn’t have thought up any better.
It basically went.
Go back to work, enjoying the ‘important’ status of keeping the trains on schedule (Mussolini??) as Union Workers who may be disgruntled OR (DOOR #2) I will draft you into the Army and you can run trains as Privates.
That seemed to have worked and FF to a certain ‘movie actor’ in 1980 that gave the Air Traffic controllers the same ultimatum WITHOUT the option of being a Private in the Army.
Think.....Shall I check under the hood sir? OR
Do you want fries with that.
Of course they were leaders and didn’t spend every waking moment OPENLY campaigning for the next office....
This ought to go over like a lead balloon among the many thousands that are still without power.
Union = Mafia!

Actually, they did increase the homeowners insurance in New England 3 years ago with the justification that the area was overdue for a hurricane. I am quite sure the insurance companies will bank on everyone forgetting that increase, plus last years increase, most likely due to Irene, and just increase it again.
Let them freeze, maybe they will learn
Why are you wishing more misery on Staten Island? They vote republican and have been completely ignored because of that. The story involves LONG ISLAND where most are lefties. Sheeeesh.
I remember hearing a PA school official lament about a gym room, in a school, that was full of mold and making kids sick. I offered to get some parents together to pain the room, and he said- no thanks. The Union would have a fit. The rule is that IF the union CAN do it, that no one can volunteer to do it. It takes money out of their pocket- and they pitch a fit.
And I thought that was horrible.
NJ Unions are insane with greed, it appears.
I’m sure the obama administration will put a stop to this.
