VIDEO: Union Rep Declares "Open Season" on "Managers and Scabs"
MRCTV (Media Research Center TV) ^ | 8/16/2011 | Stephen Gutowski

As the CWA picketing of Verizon continues it seems some of the union leadership is becoming more and more unhinged. Apparently one member of the union leadership went so far as to instruct his members, by way of publicly accessible telephone hotline, that it is now "open season" on "managers and scabs". The thug went on to say that union members should "follow them" and "torture them, torture them with chants and noise".

The best part of WSYR's report, though, has to be when they call another union boss to ask them about the ridiculous instructions and the guy basically says they're cool with it. According to him there's nothing wrong with "militancy". How insane can you get? Is it any wonder that unions have such a terrible reputation anymore? Have they not earned it?

The sad thing, as the Verizon rep WSYR interviewed alluded to, is most union members aren't violent nuts. Most of them just want to go to work, make a living, and support their families. It's thugs like this that give them all a bad name.

Maybe we can ask them what they did with Hoffas body. If militancy is no problem for them then maybe murder isn’t either.

I have several friends in Local 2222. This action erodes the initial public support they had.

Wonder if the Local .223 will have to get involved.

Funny thing is, to stop this, someone has to say, “it’s open season on the unions.”

It will stop immediately, after they start whining that they are being picked on.

Way to stop bullying is beat up the bully
