Statement from the General President Regarding the Events in Huntington, WV

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades believes in the fundamental right for civil discourse, freedom of speech and activism to support our candidates and issues.

What happened in Huntington, West Virginia yesterday is an affront to everything we, as a union, pride ourselves to represent. We extend our apologies to the Parlock family, especially Sophia, for the distress one of our overzealous members caused them.

I have personally taken steps to address this issue internally, and will take immediate disciplinary action to the full extent allowed under U.S. Department of Labor regulations and the constitution of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.

It is my hope that this incident reminds all of our members that every last citizen in this country has the right to express his or herself freely. Not one single one of us has the right to tell them otherwise.

General President James A. Williams

Mindless union thugs that had the day off and free food and beer.

Speaking of alcoholic. When is the federal government going to recognize the economic befits of millions of small business alcoholics? The Feds support the banks, farmers, airlines, welfare but someone like myself, out there spending his weekly check...nada.

I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. I've tried all the efficiency methods of serving myself my own drinks, buying in bulk, watching for sales...but I can hardly keep going. I guess they, the government, just doesn't care.
