Wisconsin pizza union/immigration flap

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

Note that the Times story conveniently omits the specifics regarding whether the “provide ID” request came before or after the petition was turned in. “About the same time” probably means the request came BEFORE the petition.

Whichever, the employer most likely has a record of the federal request which would prove the union's made up the “retaliation” issue. Funny how the Times staff of "professional reporters" didn't check or (most likely) didn't report on that, huh?

They deserve to get unionized for having criminal Mexicans working there in the first place.

How can illegals be able to find work in the US when we already have a 10% unemployment rate?

[Mentos]

But... these people snuck into the country illegally. If the government knows this, shouldn’t they just be deported?

Remember the bygone era, before the nation became an idiocracy, when the above observation would have ended any debate on the issue?

[Da Coyote]

And the problem with that is?

Palermo products boycott is being called for? Hmmm...more of it for us! :)

Ten days later, almost all of them were fired....
Labor organizers assert that Palermo’s, one of the nation’s largest producers of frozen pizza, was trying to snuff out a unionization drive in its infancy.

Good and GOOD!

“Around the same time, Palermo’s delivered letters to 89 immigrant workers, asking them to provide documentation verifying that they had the right to work in the United States. Ten days later, almost all of them were fired.”

89 down, 20-30 million to go. (I know, I know, it doesn’t say they were deported, but I can dream, can’t I?)

Here’s the origin of this foolish story.

Scores of Palermo’s workers have been on strike since June 1 to protest this immigration crackdown, as well as what they say were poor wages and working conditions. Day after day, the strikers picket outside the factory, often in 90-degree heat, chanting, “No justice, no pizza.”

If the job sucks so bad, why are you picketing? Go look for a better job. Stupid A-Holes.

I guess it's Chick-fil-A for lunch now - Palermos for dinner!

“There is some irony in the Palermo’s dispute — a company that boasts that it was founded by immigrants finds itself in battle with its immigrant employees.”

Make that LEGAL immigrants!!!

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the.........HA ha!!!

[Secret Agent Man]

I have been buying Palermos pizzas ever since this story came out.
