I arrived at my first job just after a unionization effort had failed. Anti-union employees were beat up and their cars so badly sabotaged that some of them had to quit. The union overplayed their hand and lost the vote.
Down in North Charleston some union thugs tried to intimidate workers from Boeing, using the same tactics they used elsewhere. After staring down 2 gun barrels one went to the police to complain he had had a gun pulled on him. The police officer politely informed him he was lucky he hadn’t been shot, and no there was nothing they were going to do to the homeowners because he was in the wrong. He was also schooled on SC’s version of the Castle Doctrine, and informed if he went back to another house to try and intimidate someone he’s shooting death would be considered justifiable homicide.
There's an investigation today here in Boston about union thugs who tried to muscle their way into a film crew shooting a movie here.The Feds are involved and it's said that the current Mayor of Boston (a Rat,of course) is a target.
The current union boss, Richard Trumka, as president of the UMWA formulated those destructive tactics that can not be actually blamed on the union.
The tactics are by today’s standards terrorism
Richard Trumka is in fact a terrorist
