As many as 1000 Service Employees International Union (SEIU) workers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are considering going on strike on Thanksgiving eve in what is the busiest travel day of the year.

Andrew Gross-Gaitan, the director of the Southern California Airports Division of SEIU, said the protest would be in response to an LAX contractor that failed to comply with the city’s Living Wage Ordinance.

"And libs will support them, of course, because they think Thanksgiving is racist."

If you think about it, most travelers on the Holidays are able to afford their air tickets. They are working folks and this going to really p*ss them off. Messing with family arrangements is a bad thing no matter what the political persuasion. I actually hope the union does it so more can see how obstructive and unreasonable unions are.

I'm sure the 18,000 plus employees at Hostess are real happy about the Baker Union DELETING their jobs just before Christmas. Even the Teamsters had more sense and willing to take a small cut in pay and that is real news to me. Never seen the Teamsters so reasonable, but they lost - the Bakers Union won and those so-called bakers are so proud that they killed Hostess as they claim on various websites. "We showed them (Hostess)not to mess with us. That greedy company is now out of business."

Dumb sh*ts probably don't know that the obscene 99 weeks of Unemployment Insurance ends as of December 31st and reverts back to the States. But then they probably think that Bambi can extend it without Congressional approval. Oh, right, he can since Congress is now worthless and THE ONE has won again. What was I thinking? Commonsense? Sorry, still looking for planet Earth.

Time to find the STINKING trail that leads to 0bama. Tap his iphone or whatever the hell he uses to keep tabs on his union bosses. It’s not even his new term and he’s doubling-down on destroying more industries. Won’t be long until EVERY airline will be called ‘TSA Airlines’ and all airports are numbered sequentially with government-issued ID#’s.

I'm seeing posts on Facebook about how the Hostess executives got 60-100% raises while the company was mired in bankruptcy and still got raises before they closed. I don't know how true this is or if it is a complete fabrication.

Anybody know more?

Hostess is actually run by big-time Democrat Tim Collins of vulture-capitalist Ripplewood Holdings, who relies on former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt.

Hostess has $2 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and was bankrupt a few years ago too.

Hostess execs were making ONE DOLLAR per year until recently. Dick Gephardt’s son is on the Board of Directors of Hostess.

“The TSA part of SEIU now?”

No, the crotch rubbers and breast strokers of the TSA were cleared by the Obama administration to be unionized by American Federation of Government Employees and the National Treasury Employees Union.
