Ebola Strike: LaGuardia Airport Workers Walk Off The Job
Inquisitr's daily viral news ^ | October 9, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 10/09/2014 8:17:35 AM PDT by YankeeReb

An Ebola strike began at LaGuardia Airport in New York City over fears of contracting the deadly virus. The airport workers strike currently involves only Terminal D workers, but air travel could still be impacted by the walk-off and protests.

The AirServ company includes thousands of workers at five major United States airports. Representatives from the company told the media that LaGuardia Terminal D workers initiated the Ebola strike due to “documented health and safety violations.” Related complaints have also been filed with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration – OSHA.

Ebola has become a particular concern for the LaGuardia Terminal D workers because they reportedly deal with bodily fluids without proper gear. Approximately 200 airline cabin cleaners walked off the job overnight and began carrying signs in protest. AirServ workers told the media that they often encounter vomit, blood, and hypodermic needles while cleaning planes after a flight.

The "passenger strike" is next ...
Already begun. Mid September, I was looking to be in Myrtle Beach the third or fourth week of October.
But then Ebola popped up and I stopped making plans to fly.

Why isn't the GOP screaming from the rooftops about this?


Just "follow the money" ....

Think: Chamber of Commerce "Pro-Illegal-Amnesty"

Think: Chamber of Commerce GOP-E campaign donations

Think: Mitch McConnell and John Boehner joining Obama in the congressional "lame duck" session to FORCE an unwanted "Illegal Amnesty Bill" for 25 million Mexicans on the American people.


America (sadly) is Sooooooo Screwed ....

They won’t get it -

it’s the Limbaugh Theorem.

Obama is trying his hardest to alleviate this - I’m sure that’s what they believe.

No, don't strike, that's not part of our plan!

Still, if someone told me that there was a million dollars of uncut diamonds on a plane from Africa and if I would clean the plane, I could keep all that I could find, I think that I would pass.

They’re raciss! Don’t they know that they are supposed to bow down in abject submission, scraping the ground with their heads, begging forgiveness for all the evil racissssm of the USA that practiced slavery and colonialism! Don’t they know they should welcome ebola! Don’t they know that da rev jackson blames it all on racissssm?

This is going large. While I never agree with unions, they could be the cutting edge for change regarding our immigration, visa, and travel policies.

Things are getting dicey out there with parents pulling their kids out of schools, increasing western ebola cases (remember Spain?), less air travel. This is an Islamist wet dream.

I'm not much of a conspiracist, but then who would have thought a bunch of nobodies would take flying lessons and cause 9/11? Islamists may be monsters, but doesn't mean they are stupid. They may be thinking outside the box now. I've long suspected they would use chemical and/or biological weapons for their next offensive. Just wondering...

But hey, don't bother to close the southern border (Border Patrol caught 10? ISIS types) or deny anyone from the affected West African nations. And no, I don't give a crap about their economies. Wouldn't affect our economy in the least since they are so unproductive.

Now we have some 3000 military over there? Sure most are medical types with logistical support. So what happens if just one contracts ebola and brings it home? What about the latest possible ebola patient?

“I’m not much of a conspiracist...”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Why not? At any given moment there are huge numbers of conspiracies going on, some long term, some short and contrary to popular belief a conspiracy does not HAVE to involve criminal or evil action, that is the most familiar connotation but not the only one. You know, “severed heads” could refer to cabbage or lettuce but most people hearing those words would automatically assume it refers to human heads.

Someone once said that the history of the world is the history of conspiracy and only someone very naive could doubt that.

Late on we’ll conspire
as we dream by the fire
to face unafraid
the plans that we made
walking in a Winter Wonderland

It only takes TWO to conspire, you know.
