Sanitation Department's slow snow clean-up was a budget protest (NYC union thugs)

These garbage men really stink.

Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts -- a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned.

Upstate NY...

A 64 year old woman went into the DMV to get her license renewed. She stood at the window for an entire 25 minutes. At first, 3 people were there to help her, but 2 left the room. The one that was left was doing some kind of paperwork.
Eventually, the man came over to her window and snapped "Can I help you?" She said yes, she had to renew her license. He took her through all the paperwork and picture taking. After that was done, he sat down at the computer to finish up, and he noticed her license had been revoked due to a medical issue. The woman explained to the man her license had been reinstated shortly after the incident, about a month earlier, but just got a renewal notice in the mail and thought she should take care of it.
Well, according to this busy man, the computers are 3 months behind. According to this busy man, government union cutbacks are to blame. There aren't enough people to get the work done anymore. He told her she'd have to wait another 3 months to renew.
The woman was pi$$ed. Not only will she have to wait another 3 months to renew her license - she noticed the important paperwork the man was doing after she waited an entire 25 minutes for him. The "important paperwork" the guy was doing was a crossword puzzle!

I saw a report this morning on the boob tube, and I'll see if I can find a link, that Bloombug ended up calling in 1,000 extra people.

This whole debacle needs to be put under a microscope and the participants under oath.

A newborn Baby died. The Union Bosses should be thrown in jail and charged with manslaughter.

Haven't found that link yet, but this is interesting...

New York City streets unplowed, but at least sanitation workers retire well

The layoff was only 6% of the sanitation department. 6% is nothing.

State wide, only 1% of the government union members have been laid off. In Elmira NY, the government union employees are going to hold a candle light vigil for these poor lost souls tonight. I kid you not.

And while we are at it let’s unionize the TSA. Let’s give union bosses the power to cripple the nations airlines and paralyze the country.

Check this out....

NYC officials delayed declaring snowstorm an emergency

BTW, none of this has been discussed by the broadcast nets this morning, aside from the 20 seconds or so on CBS.

I don’t know about that. Looks to me like Bloombug’s getting ready to sacrifice the deputy mayor. It’s all that guy’s fault apparently.

And he had to spend almost all the snow removal money budgeted for NYC this year. He'd better hope there's no more snow this winter. (NY is broke. Too much socialism.)

Common sense & decency told them this was wrong.

Common sense and decency are not very common these days.
