Why was this story not national news? Outrageously, firemen in Flint, Mich. went about the city setting fires instead of putting them out last month and all because their union wasn't happy with job layoffs. In a vain attempt to stop the layoffs, these union criminals went around setting fires to try and scare Flint's residents in order to goad them to tell city officials to rescind the layoffs.
Imagine the breach of trust that this represents between firemen and the citizenry? What next, will Flint policemen commit murders and armed robberies in like manner to the criminal activities of the union inflamed foremen of the city?
Is this where unions have taken the safety of our cities...

I guess "Guilty until proven innocent" is the new mantra around here...........not surprised.
I have the same view of Minnesota. Just napalm Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
Flint, MI?! Isn’t that Michael Moore’s hometown?
It sure is.
All the stuff SEIU has done at rallies makes me hate the sight of people in union shirts and those “Union YES!” bumper stickers.
When I hear the word union, my first thought is thugs.
Let them try this in the south. Socking indeed!
That was, of course, my point. However, we must also acknowledge that these same rank-and-file members support union and governmental corruption with their dues, willy-nilly, whether or not their wishes to the contrary. And, they seem unable, or unwilling, to do anything about it.
