Dozens of personal care attendants and members of their union gathered for a civil disobedience action Thursday in front of the headquarters of Allied Community Resources, to express their indignation at what they say are numerous "missed timely and accurate wage payments due to errors" by the firm which has a state contract to provide payroll services.

...

Around 12:30 p.m., 14 protesters sat down in the street, which is a private roadway leading to several area businesses, including a driving school, the Enfield Housing Authority and a Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles branch. After about 10 minutes, Police Chief Alaric Fox informed the group they were in violation of several Connecticut statutes, risking arrest if they did not comply with a request to move out of the road.

Fox issued two more requests to the group, but none of the protesters moved despite being subject to arrest. After the third appeal was ignored, Enfield police officers escorted them one person at a time to a nearby parking lot, where they were each issued a summons for creating a public disturbance. The infraction carries a fine of $103.

The top executive at Allied disputes the claims of the home care workers, and questioned the decision to protest at the Pearson Way headquarters, when the payroll division is actually located at a building in the East Windsor Industrial Park.

...

"When the union held their protest in 2019 at our Enfield location, their actions ended with an angry mob storming into our program facility," Bohnet said. "Their actions were extreme and violent, with protesters - the personal care assistants - banging on windows and trying to force their way further into our building. Our 80-plus program clients were frightened and disturbed. Our staff were frightened for their safety."

So a bunch of home health SEIU goons, who the union President points out are mostly non-white have had some payroll processing delays, no comment of if the time cards were correctly filled out, of course, and cries racism. So what do you do, force them to close a mental health day program because last "mostly peaceful" protest you stormed the building and terrified the patients by banging on the windows.

The labor unions that aren’t either primarily a vehicle for the advancement of socialism or worse — organized crime — are so few and far between as to be invisible. The entire category should be struck down and the 1935 National Labor Relations Act either repealed or its constitutionality challenged in SCOTUS.
