All the more reason to buy all my bathroom remodeling stuff at Menards.

I hate Home Depot any way.

Government employee unions should not be allowed in any state, anywhere.
There is an inherent conflict of interest
and distortion of the political process.

My father-in-law is a teamster. We have an awesome relationship and I love him dearly however we go AROUND when it comes to unions.

Pure unadulterated thuggery.

Dear Public-Sector Unions,

Please explain specifically how the government is an abusive employer.

Also, please give examples as to how you were personally abused by the government, or what abuse by the government you think you were protected from by unionizing.

Sincerely,
-PJ

EVEN THE COPS ARE INVOLVED! Un-believable.

They supported the protesters for the last three weeks. Why should this be a surprise?

This was signed by firefighter and police officer leaders- it seems like they are strongly implying that they won’t be doing their professional duty in protecting the business, either.

“That is a violation of Federal Law..............”

Under normal circumstances what you state would have meaning, but unfortunately under this administration and this DOJ protecting their union buddies is all that matters, regardless of the law.

To counter-boycott this threat, perhaps we should encourage companies that receive such letters to make them public so that we all know who to buy products from.

I guess they apply laws only when they don’t apply to ‘their people’..............

I don’t think so. People have a right to boycott whoever they want, for whatever reason they want. The answer is to have the tea parties organize boycotts of the businesses that side with the unions.

Start with the FOP fund drives.

You are correct. People have the right to boycott whomever they wish.
What they don’t have the right to do is THREATEN a BUSINESS with a BOYCOTT for COOPERATION to a DESIRED AGENDA.

At least they put it on paper and signed their names to it, so prosecution should be easier...............whenever.......

The unions have a legal right to boycott businesses. Its not against the law.

But the other side can organize a boycott, too.
