Arrest then fire any and ALL disruptors

[CincyRichieRich]

Preplanned and orchestrated by ValJar0bama to stick thumb in eye of Reagan’s legacy. Don’t be surprised if 0Obama does executive order to allow unionization of federal workers. Do you see any brave GOPe stopping him?

We shall overcome.

What a tribute to MLK. Now it’s just another day off, and an opportunity for malcontents and race hustlers to raise hell.

[Maine Mariner]

Traveling by rented RV is looking better every day.

“””Let them march n Chicago- hope the freeze their butts off- they may well it being below zero”””

In an airport?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The Left loves mass transit, all the better to disrupt and extract concessions for their membership, and for government to dictate rules, regulations and fees.

These are not Federal Employees. One has nothing to do with the other, this is the 15 and hour crowd.

[ZULU]

Arrest the bastards and fire them.

[FrankR]

BTM...black tantrums matter

[Shady]

Hope all goes well today and the Port Authority Police can circumvent the stink-ups!

[cardinal4]

Due to high winds and weather, LGA is in a ground delay program. I hope they freeze their butts off. If they put as much effort into working as they do whining and protesting, they could be earning 15.00 an hour honestly..!

Here’s a thought about the minimum wage issue.

Keep the minimum wage where it is. If someone thinks they deserve “X” dollars/hour, why not give them a test to see if they are smart enough to command such a wage/hour?

As en employer, you then get what you pay for instead of some lazy ass “gimmedats”.

What a tribute to MLK. Now it’s just another day off, and an opportunity for malcontents and race hustlers to raise hell.I was in DC years ago. There used to be a dj called "The Greaseman". He once quipped, "We should shoot four more and have a week off." Needless to say he was gone pretty quick.

As an aside, I have come to regard MLK as simply a more refined "community activist" a al Obama.

Just schedule a job fair tomorrow and announce that anyone who tries this will be replaced within 24 hours.

The workers - a mix of cleaners, baggage handlers, fuelers and wheelchair attendants - will risk arrest at airports and other locations including the Mall, to bring attention to their campaign for better wages, the Service Employees International Union said.

The actions are the latest in the airport workers' campaign for a $15-per-hour minimum wage, a benefits package and job protections. They're also protesting threats against their efforts to unionize.

Of course they should be allowed to unionize. As long as their employer is allowed to fire them whenever their union becomes to onerous to deal with.

[Nailbiter]

hopefully marching outside the airport

[raybbr]

You’re right. I read it to mean they would be inside the airports. I doubt they’ll freeze. The unions goons (police, firemen, SEIU, etc) will provide comfort and warmth for them.
