Only Action News was there Tuesday morning as FBI agents raided the union headquarters, carting off boxes of documents linked to the investigation.

I’m shocked that the Obama Administration would arrest any union workers for intimidation.I have a hard time believing this. Union thugs are the Obungler's henchmen.

The government is alleging they used violence, intimidation, arson, and other methods to extort contractors into hiring unionized ironworkers.Sounds about right.

It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving group of thugs. I think like another poster that they complained to much about Obozocare. Or they want to appear to be enforcing the law equally. Maybe impeachment talk is getting a little scarey to the Magic Negro.
To: Paleo Conservative
I don’t get it. That’s what they do. It’s traditional.

It sounds as if the Ironworkers Union Local 410 is a corrupt organization—I wonder if RICO charges will be brought against the local and its leadership?
To: Paleo Conservative
Agree...I believe little or anything the governemnt says about anyone or any group...
They’re disciples of deception, sultans of smear.
They’ll discredit anyone or anything to get what they want...
