Well, civilization is based entire upon human socialization behaviors.

Should those behaviors cease...

Thank God my business travel is finished for at least the next several weeks. This has the potential to get really ridiculous.

Were they concerned about flights from west africa or did it also include cleaning up when AF1 arrives too?

Aren’t most airline cabin cleaners Somalis?

What strange bedfellows we’re acquiring.......union members....

...IF they can persuade the airlines from flying to the hot zones, kudos to them

Glad I don’t have to fly anywhere, especially for business any more.

Unions!

Now that is something that Obama can understand.

Maybe the unions will force the suspension of flights to the hot zone.

They have a right to try to protect themselves. This is just the beginning.

This is what needs to happen....if our government and President Obola won’t stop flights and protect AMERICANS first....then we as Americans can stand our ground and protect ourselves.

I despise unions, but I was tempted to side with this group, as they are addressing a health concern that the Obama administration is refusing to deal with.

But, as I read the article, I got the impression that this is most likely theater by Big Labor agents trying to get their greedy claws into these workers. The article mentioned that they are “trying to unionize”. I wonder how many of the picketers were actually plane cleaners, as opposed to Big Labor professional picketers with no connection to the plane cleaners.

Yep.

I am already at the point if I have to go to the hospital and there are Ebola patients at that hospital, I’m not going there.

Ever.
