Ok so these workers belong to a union that regularly demonizes their employer and they are surprised they are out of a job?
How much notice did the union and/or the contractor get? Why didn’t they provide succor and aid as well as reasonable notice? The big bad Church gets tarred by the media, the rats involved get a pass. Odd.
Ok, first the church did not fire them. They ended the contact with the cleaning service. Why can’t the cleaning service put them in another gig?
I mean when I stopped working and no longer needed Mary Maids, they ladies that came to my house just started cleaning other houses.
It is the maintenance company which acts a a labor leasing agent who fired these people not the church
This Union (mostly overpaid doormen in NYC) was formerly run by John Sweeney (former head of the AFL CIO) and Gus Bovina - one an ardent commie and the other just corrupt
The union just collects dues from the contract employer and papers everyone working at multiple locations with a broad contract
The employer (not the church) knew this contract was not being renewed but held that information from their employees
The union also knew when the contract expired and withheld that information from it's dues paying members
Now who's the bad guy here?
It's not the church
.
I didn’t think my extremely low esteem of TEC could get any lower...I was wrong!
Is the Manhattan congregation too good to clean their own church so they have to contract it out?
if some of these folks have worked for their contractor for all these years, it seems to me, if their contractor doesn’t reassign them, they should be protesting the contractor, not the church. It is the congregation of the church who pays church expenses and the congregation should have the right to spend their Voluntary Donations To The Church however they deem appropriate. Is that what is really being attacked? the union doesn’t think the church members ‘donate’ enough?
Follow the money, honey, and you will find the answer!
Not only is this terribly written, it is wrong.
the author sounds like an anti-Christian union thug who saw a way to get revenge.
The church didn’t fire these people, they just didn’t renew the contract with Paris Maintenance a “union cleaning contractor.”
So the bad guy isn’t the church but company they worked for OR their union but it certainly wasn’t the church.
Why hasn’t Paris just put them to work cleaning on another job?
Or why didn’t the union start paying them - they could be picketing for the union against the latest pro-family, pro-life, conservative or free enterprise issue that the Obama administration asked them to go to.
OR why didn’t they file for unemployment?
Unless of course the Paris maintenance was owned by the one or more of the workers that are complaining that the Church owes them a living. Then hmmm that’s life in the bad world.
Which one are you looking for?
A phony far-left organization masquerading as a church.
Look for...the union label...if you want to...be out of...a job.
Guess again sucker. Those sleek white liberals who are not answering your letters and appeals are all making fat six figure salaries, and they are not about to give up their perks just so you peons can eat.
