I am rooting for the snow plow drivers!! I hope they are able to squeeze management and extort every extra penny they can. They will set a great example for other Boston workers.

It would be great to have Boston unions hold up and try to extort all employers but especially the city next year, say, right before the dem convention! Can you imagine the great publicity of unions limiting the dem convention and the dems and Kennedys having to bribe or pay them off for permission to go forward?

Are you saying unions are organized extortionists?

Are you a democrat? Would you want your tax dollars going to drivers who aren't doing the job they are supposed to be doing? Would you spend your own money to pay someone over $100 an hour to sit in a coffee shop.

They already have resorted to extortion and fraud. That's why the city wants them to use the GPS phones. A number of plow drivers had billed the city for plowing that was not actually done. The city can't prove it and charge anyone so they want the GPS phones used so they can keep better tabs on the fraud.

Naturally, some drivers don't want to use the GPS phones for obvious reasons.

I could imagine it if the whole convention wasn't already an organized payoff which is being run by the local unions and their lapdogs in City Hall.
