Hundreds of striking Verizon workers sporting red shirts and holding candles while chanting of ”No contract, No peace!“ and ”What’s disgusting? Union busting” held a vigil outside the Mendham, New Jersey home of CEO Lowell McAdam. The strikers were bused in by their union in an effort to highlight the differences between executives and blue collar workers.

What’s disgusting? Union busing.

Makes me want to swith from cable to FIOS, and go back to Verizon for my landline.

Last Friday, the large corporate site where my wife works lost all network connectivity and telephone service. Guess who the provider is. She said sabotage by striking union workers was the cause.

Take pictures of them; cross reference the people in the photo’s with their employee badge ID’s; fire them. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

Twenty years ago a group of construction unions tried this and the NLRB filed a permenant injunction preventing them from ever picketing the company president’s home again with a big big fine.

Now the NLRB is a shill board for the unions and Obama and nothing will be done.

Daily I drive past a large office park where the verizon workers picket. I notice that they block the entrance ,despite Verizon being only one of many companies there. I also notice that they are bussed in by a “Go” bus. Today however there were only a handful of people. I hope Verizon breaks them.

You know...when we were kids, the boys in my neighborhood occasionally made ‘bee bombs’. Take a piece of honeycomb and out it in a jar. Let them hatch, then throw.

I stayed pretty far away (bee-phobic)

But one or more of them would scatter a crowd pretty quickly...

Did they use the “Community Organizer in Chief’s” big black bus? This is right in Barry’s SEIU/agitator wheelhouse like he taught a few years back.

Every time I read something like this, I become more anti-union, if that’s even possible. Right now, I’m looking forward to the day when der Fuhrer passes “card check” through one of his royal proclamations and I have to confront these commie knuckledraggers face to face. It will definitely get ugly.

There's an election coming, and Verizon will no doubt want FCC or FTC approval for something someday. Sounds like a job for Craig Becker...

Hmmm, I wonder how much the CWA Union head makes per year and where does he live? Enquiring mind and all that you know!

something is lost in the translation, please explain again, in detail.

It sounds like a wonderful idea...
