American trade unions are a parasite that finally destroys the host.

This needs to change if this country is ever able to compete internationally.

Don’t count on it.
The parasites in this country, unions, Dumocrats, and sundry malcontents will not be satisfied until we are standing in Soviet style lines to buy toilet paper.
Is that what it will tkae for americans to figure out they are killing the goose (American Republic) that lays the golden egg.

It looks like the unions taught THE MAN a lesson here.

Uh, how do we make the payment on the F150 now?

I hope the union is proud of itself. Did any of them realize that the contractually-stipulated percentage of nothing is nothing?

Interesting...this judge was a GWB appointee, but a buddy of Governor Tom Ridge (remember, McCain’s favorite choice for VP). He HAD to know what the result of his decision would be, but he could care less.

Unions are the reason much of our manufacturing base has shifted to Asia and also the reason for much of the hiring of illegals that happens here.

This is why guys like Obama’s pal, Andy Stern, want to unionize the world.

I have about 20 years of union membership. When they supported kerry over George Bush was about the parting time. At least we did not have thugs breaking legs.

I agree with you whole-heartedly. On caveat though, who did he have working for him? The last tile crew I saw in Cleveland had a translator!

You are going to see a lot of this; unless you neuter the unions.

Good job union thugs. Good job. You sure showed them. All employers will no tremble at your might. Your members will get foodstamps.

Unions had a purpose initially.

Now, not so much.

Kind of like Congress.

If you are in any kind of teacher's union just for the liability insurance they offer, you can get the same coverage from your insurance man and it's very cheap! Drop the union now!

Evil unions - destroying companies whenever they can. Or chasing great jobs to different states or countries. But they usually vote for Democrats, so they are mental midgets.

My question for the unions: if you do not like the way a company is run, start your own and run it the way you want. Then you can compete with those big, evil, greedy corporations that provides millions of jobs.

The comments following the original article are telling. I haven’t heard the term “scabs” in years.
