"They will do their best to take care of operations," Mento said.

Well, the power is finally restored. Comments on the article are running heavily in opposition to the union. Go figure! Lots of union supporting folks have been introduced first hand to union thug tactics.

Full benefits at the age of 60. That’s practically as good as Greece.

How ‘bout those union thugs? It’s always about them. If the snotty nosed little, NON-WORKING, brats don’t get their way, they always go on strike. That’s why unions are not good for American and we need to get rid of them. Give the jobs to people who WANT to work!

How long until someone starts throwing rolls of aluminum foil across the big transformers around town I wonder? Of course I grew up around the Detroit area so my view of union strong-arm tactics is a bit shaded...

“...it has more than 100 management personnel to take over operations for striking workers.”

If that’s all it takes, fire the union bastages and let management do the work for a little extra pay and bennies.
