As many as 1000 Service Employees International Union (SEIU) workers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are considering going on strike on Thanksgiving eve in what is the busiest travel day of the year.

Andrew Gross-Gaitan, the director of the Southern California Airports Division of SEIU, said the protest would be in response to an LAX contractor that failed to comply with the city’s Living Wage Ordinance.

i don’t think obama asked for this one, though. remember the “you owe us” union message after he won? in that same vein, they want to state “hey we’re here and we can raise havoc if we want” in case obama gets weak kneed.

i would love, love, love to see the unions and obama get into a massive cat fight.

FIre them all..hire people that will be HAPPY to have a job...but they cannot join a union. Morons. That’s probably a night where they get overtime.

you mean, a symbolic protest but no real strike...

i didn’t think they would be cadly enough to do that.

That’s a good one. A Twinkie for you:)

Thanks for that link.

if anything that has to be a bummer for the adjacent-shift workers who are being told to go there and picket. because many of them certainly had other plans for that time, during this busy holiday season! way ta go, goons.

Reaganize ‘em! Fire every one of those worthless b*stards!

First Twinkies, then the Black Friday weekend. Is nothing sacred to these people?

[Tanniker Smith]

So they’ll be LAX in their responsibilities . . .

[Flavius]

Let them eat twinkies

To soon ...

[LyinLibs]

Ha.

LA deserves this.

They swear by Communism.

Let them enjoy it firsthand.

I’m pretty sure enough people could show up that know how to run an airport better than the SEIU.

Everyone of them will remember the day, and the people involved.

Nonsense. Far more than half will blame the evil contractor who wouldn't give in to union blackmail. That's the way the union biz works. Union employees not collecting trash? Don't blame them - blame the city that won't give them everything they want. Union employees not running snow removal equipment? Don't blame them - blame the city that won't give them everything they want.

LA isn’t as bad as Sick Freako, though. I’m not sure they are even as bad as New Yuck City.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Unless they can see what these demands are costing them. It’s easy enough to say let them have other people’s money.

We have a small department at my work and they belong to the SEIU. Almost everyone else including me are not unionized. I have made it a point to never look a SEIU employee in the eyes when speaking with one of them. It drives them crazy! It’s a lot of fun!

SEIU. Mexican citizens don’t celebrate Thanksgiving.

That's right.

[ColdOne]

no not to soon!
