RE :"Fortunately for him, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters is seeking paid demonstrators to march and chant in its current picket line outside the McPherson Building, an office complex here where the council says work is being done with nonunion labor. ...So instead, the union hires unemployed people at the minimum wage—$8.25 an hour—to walk picket lines. Mr. Raye says he's grateful for the work, even though he's not sure why he's doing it. "I could care less," he says. "I am being paid to march around and sound off."

This story was posted last week, still funny sounding. Maybe we need to unionize these (non-union protest) workers working for the unions. Imagine if they went on strike? Shouldnt they be paid a living wage by the unions? A fair wage? Unions always claim that all workers get a raise when a employer is forced to give a worker a raise.

I love the smell of irony in the morning...it’s like coffee and bacon, only...different.

I searched using the whole headline and nothing turned up. Do you have a link to the previous thread?
