Go Boys, we need solidarity on this, picket the place, block materials, whatever you need to do.

[ScottinVA]

ahhh... the unforeseen allies. The builders!!!!

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Looks like these Muslims are screwed. (Hopefully).

[TribalPrincess2U]

Can they bring in their own mooses to build it?

I’m at the point of I saying go ahead and build.

The gov. must want another big bboom in NY.

[Huskrrrr]

The Dems may have second thoughts once the unions get involved.

[EyeGuy]

Union entitlementsor patriotism.

Which will win in the end?

Lately there have been some issue with pouring the concrete. It’s just not pouring well.

However if you add 9 pounds of bacon grease to each load it solves the problem and the concrete pours just fine.

And there was a rumour that the site was a pig slaughter house during the revolutionary war.

I suppose a work crew can be found, but even then, one wonders whether the site work will experience a lot of accidents, necessitating a lot of extra work. (Not condoning, but it’s human nature.)

[Oberon]

A scab crew? In Manhattan? I doubt it.

[WellyP]

The site WAS within a farm before the Revelution.

[shadowcat]

Even if it builds, the awarded contractor better think twice before they sign the contract. A possible consumer boycott / backlash on future work!

Their name will look great in print, web etc.

[ozzymandus]

This is almost an “Atlas Shrugged” story.

[pogo101]

True ... that could lead to even MORE “accidents”!!

[jimbo123]

When it comes time to begin construction, the union workers will bring prayer rugs and pray to Mecca 5 times a day on the job site if they are told to by their bosses. Union workers are sheep and do whatever they are told.

[Huskrrrr]

[mmercier]

i was a union carpenter for 20 years.

if the cash is there, the job will be fully staffed.

[ichabod1]

Doesn’t anybody find it odd that it is THIRTEEN STORIES TALL? Is that like a lucky number for the blood-drinkers?

[Dem Guard]

The unions could drag out the construction of this thing for a 100 years......
