I was a member of ironworkers union in Chicago Local 1 years ago. Local 40 New York is just as strong. They won't and should not work on it.

People can scream this is a local issue, it’s not.Of course it's not, it's a deliberate insult to our whole nation.

I'm not a big Bill O’Rielly fan but, he said this place would never get built. I'd like to know the number of unions it takes to build the place, getting them all on board will be next to impossible.

The wounds are still fresh and the anger is still real, and it's something that supporters of the Cordoba mosque, named after a great Islamic victory over the West, simply don't get.

Liberals don't 'get this' because they're soooooo open minded their brains have fallen out...

Every Black Muslim in the country will come to build this mudhut. Labor Unions will be ignored.

I may be mistaken but I think that by NYC law all construction must be done by union workers.

There is a long list of horrific and devastating things that Obama and his ilk have brought to fruition that ppl *swore* would never happen. And now ppl keep saying that this won’t get built for whatever reason... first it would never get zoning, now the unions.

I think that Obama and the unions bosses have different ideas for the unions workers.

In any case, whether this ‘cultural center’ gets built or not, the radical imam and his pals are winners. If it is built, they get to mock, for all time, the mass murder of our bretheren and their triumph. If it is not built, they get to play the victim and cry about how the intolerant Americans deserved 9/11. It will also serve as the fuel needed to plan the next attack, not that any will be needed, it just looks nice for them this way.

I used to deploy tradeshows in NYC and Philadelphia. The unions always play hardball. If you let the union workers work just one minute past their work time, they charge you overtime immediately. And you cannot work on the booth yourself, the union people have to do it, because it’s their “job”.

In "Right to Work" states, we don't even know what a union is.

We've got thousands of guys who were plumbers last week, drywall guys the week before that , and electricians this week.

Somehow, we get it built and inspected and occupied, all without the say so and input of a bunch of mobbed up union morons.

Any company whose workers refuse will be taken over by Barry (hey, he lifted his little finger and took over GM with barely a peep of protest) and all the workers will be fired and replaced by Hussein-friendly workers.

Roberto Duran was heard to have said “no mosque.”

Put pig blood in the concrete.

That way, they'll never get it out.

On a side note regarding union labor: Are FReepers generally against all unions? My thought is for skilled trades, where apprenticeship is necessary to ensure the worker has the requisite skills to do the job safely and accurately is not a bad thing.

I don’t know if wages in those trades go up as rapidly as government workers, which might be a factor against how bargaining contracts are negotiated, but there really seems a legitimate reason for them.

Unskilled work and paper pushing jobs do not seem to have the same merit as skilled trades.

Be curious to know others opinions.

You’re right about that. It’s one thing for people to comment never having seen Ground Zero up close. It’s something entirely different for guys who saw them pulling body parts out of the pile and carrying them out in buckets! And those weren’t EMTs with medical training.... Those ironworkers probably still have nightmares about the things they saw.
