Well, there are two sides to this story. The rats are complaining about the presence of State employees. A spokesman for the rats said that they are the ones getting sick and requiring hospitalization. They think a humanitarian solution would be to evict the State employees.

Lol!

Seriously, is the union made up of people who don’t know how to deal with rodents?

Dogs don’t like rats.

Local 1000 is DMV.
Local 362 is in charge of dealing with rats. Oh - wait, 362 is roaches, 363 is rats.

The DMV workers are afraid of calling either of them in.

Note. My uncle was in charge of all of PanAm’s interior operations at JFK back in the day. He was giving me and my parents a tour of the place. We were down underneath where the conveyors were moving luggage and a piece fell off. I reached for it to put it back on the conveyor.

“Don’t touch that! Only union workers can touch the luggage. I’d be out of a job!”

“But somebody will be missing their bag!?”

“Those are the rules kid.”

Do rats eat RATS? Could be a solution.

Rats will infest a area if there is food. Evidently the housekeeping is very poor.
On the Plus side they could do a Naked and Afraid show in there as it has a good food source.

BINGO! I worked for a Housing Authority that would go around telling private landlords about code violations, health and safety issues. Lots of large women employees keeping snacks in their desk cabinets. Low and behold it rained hard once and the drop ceiling caved in and rodents poured out.

Oh the irony.

I’m surprised the animal rats could stand to be around the human rats.

Hints of poetic justice or perhaps Karma.

I think they like them but only to play with as in chase, catch, destroy.

I have heard of this phenomena. It was even portrayed in a tv show I watched long ago in which only the janitor’s union members could empty the wastebaskets.

Union Rules are what is causing their downfall.

I worked at union carbide once and I moved my computer monitor from one desk to another. I got called out on it because the union rules said only they could move things.

I have no idea how they even knew the monitor was moved

The majority of SEIU “members” ARE rodents.

Rats only go where the food is. Stop being messy slobs and set some traps (really, how hard is it?), and the problem will go away.

I recall working a Summer job at a coal-fired power plant in the ‘70s. There was some construction work scheduled beside the rail line for the coal cars and at least three trades were out in force, operators for two cranes and several compressors, boilermakers to handle large tubes, and carpenters for cribbing. Altogether, there were about thirty people involved, not including the half-dozen managers with white helmets. As it happened, there was a small pile of dirt on the tracks several yards from the site. One could have moved the pile with a shovel in maybe five minutes. It was that small. However, no work could start until the dirt was removed. Because unions were involved, no one could even think about touching a shovel; that trade belonged to the laborers, of which there were none present. A call went out to the Union hall for two (!) laborers who showed up around six hours later. A expected, it took only a few minutes for the pair to deal with the dirt pile, but by that time the day was over and all the trades were headed to the changing shed.

If the state of California declared the rats to be white nationalist extremists a swat team would remove them very quickly.

Rat traps and D-Con works wonders for killing rats and mice!

Nine months later and a rat infestation continues to plague a DMV located inside the Manchester Mall in Fresno.

\= = =

Yes, but are there any rodents there?
