I used to think - let them have unions if they want/ not for me. Now I think they should all be illegal. I talked to some during the Albertson’s strike here in Los Angeles a few years ago. They were SO RUDE to me — I just wanted to understand. One guy took me aside and was very nice, but the rest were rude to me - absolutely no reason.
Plus, they are sucking the cities and states and schools and governments DRY. They should all be tarred and feathered - especially this Las Vegas culinary one.
We used a music room at the local public school for our community orchestra rehearsals. Suddenly they wanted $1000 a MONTH! From free!! I started talking to folks I knew in the district. I was told, “The janitors are with the Teamsters. You will not win one concession.” Truly, we were lucky to get out without an $18,000 back pay! Disgusting.
During that strike, they had a mass demonstration at one store. I went in and made some purchases--I don't think there was another customer in the store.
When I walked out, a bunch of demonstrators chanted at me, "Shame! Shame! Shame!" I waved my merchandise at them and they shouted more invective. I kept waving my merchandise and also flipped them off. Since the cops were there, I knew they wouldn't do anything other than yell.
