Union thug alert. Why even some on FR defend these band o bandit throwbacks to the 19th century is beyond me.

In terms of what labor unions have done to Boston, this is nothing. They and their communist allies in the state gov't are responsible for the Big Dig.

"He said rats symbolize nonunion contractors who do not provide fair pay and benefits."
Horsefeathers! Union contractors just help support the union bosses' vacations in the Bahamas and the union is just another boss for the employee, only one he has to pay!
The tactic speaks volumes about the spirit behind unions.

Rand Wilson, a veteran union organizer, said the action might have crossed the line...Might have?

Well, at least the cops caught the rat bastard union thug that tried to ruin the peoples' dinners at a really nice restaurant. The IBEW is a good group of folks and I have dealt with them for many years, and they are great negotiators but bend over backwards to be fair. It is clowns like this guy that will be their undoing as a union.

The next thing you know they will be hiring illegal aliens to release rats in restaurants.
To: MassRepublicanFlyersFan
IBEW are sweet folks. I can recall their business agent in AZ telling me they (the Union) could care less if the mine closed -- after all , electricians could find jobs anywhere. So much for good faith collective bargaining. They (and other unions) never did negotiate and the mine closed.

What kind of loser gets excited about three rats let out of a bag? Are they vicious flying Mongolian attack rats, or cute little balls of soft, white fur?
More than anything else, you want to pick them up before they get hurt.
Now if they were nutria-sized New York sewer crack rats with 3" fangs instead of teeth, or Iraqi camel rats...
To: MassRepublicanFlyersFan
What this story doesn't tell you is that the rats were on the union payroll. They were journeyman electricians. "Willard" was the lead project supe for all the wiring on the Big Dig, and he has the paycheck stubs to prove it.

Good point. The white fur should have been a tip off that the poor rats were tame pet stock creatures probably terrified by all the commotion and the bright lights.

I'd force him to eat the rats.
To: MassRepublicanFlyersFan
What an amateur! He should have just ordered a meal, and then let a bunch go under the table, then when the screaming started, walked out.
To: MassRepublicanFlyersFan
If somebody had half a brain, they'd have one giant leech, and one giant lamprey (blow-up style) to set up in front of the union headquarters... or better yet, the union presidents house...

"Why even some on FR defend these band o bandit throwbacks to the 19th century is beyond me." Because they are idiots...period.

More than anything else, you want to pick them up before they get hurt.Preferably before some cold heartless a-hole like me stomped them into pink mush.
The prices at the restaurant might prompt me to run out screaming, but some silly little mouse ain't gonna make me cringe.
