My response is based upon second-hand info. A friend works in civil service atmosphere and many of the co-workers will be just enjoying a day off. I contacted another friend who is union, he has been brain-washed.
My son went to a Union Parade (Ironworker’s Local 11) a couple of weeks ago, he was forced to carry an Obama sign. Being a Newbie Apprentice he obliged without saying a word, then came home and ripped the sign up! LOL!
