It was the only thing they could do. That little sorrowful face, on that sweet girl ---- right next to an IUPAT sign was devastating to them. Would they have done it if there wasn't a union thug ------ er, member,---- standing beside her?
of course the union leader is going to issue an apology...because it was caught by an AP photographer....
i've worked with union guys my whole career, and there are some really good guys that i have been friends with for years, but the vast majority of them are hardcore slackers because it is pretty near impossible to get fired from a union job....
i'd guess this guy will, at most, be placed on unpaid leave for a short period, just in case anyone follows up on what action was taken.....after it blows over, the union will have him back on the job, with backpay for time he missed, with overtime.
you may think i'm kidding, but i'm completely 'series'
