To Protest Hiring of Nonunion Help, Union Hires Nonunion Pickets

WASHINGTON—Billy Raye, a 51-year-old unemployed bike courier, is looking for work.

Fortunately for him, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters is seeking paid demonstrators to march and chant in its current picket line outside the McPherson Building, an office complex here where the council says work is being done with nonunion labor.

"For a lot of our members, it's really difficult to have them come out, either because of parking or something else," explains Vincente Garcia, a union representative who is supervising the picketing.

So instead, the union hires unemployed people at the minimum wage—$8.25 an hour—to walk picket lines. Mr. Raye says he's grateful for the work, even though he's not sure why he's doing it. "I could care less," he says. "I am being paid to march around and sound off."

you think that is humorous and hypocritical....check out the next portion of the article -

Online postings recruit paid activists for everything from stopping offshore drilling to defending the Constitution.

In California, one group is offering to pay $10 and up per hour to activists to hold signs in demonstrations against foam cups and plastic bags.

In Bellevue, Wash., the Faith and Freedom Network plans to hire activists for about $10 an hour next month to promote statewide candidates with Judeo-Christian values for the fall elections, says Gary Randall, the group's president. Recruits will knock on doors and will be dispatched in large groups, hoping to draw media attention, he says.

There is probably no more hostile anti-union publication the the WSJ and you expect us to take this sort of anti-union propaganda from them seriously?

LMAO.... you call it propaganda based on WHAT? The fact that they busted a union for hiring non-union 'protesters' to protest a company that uses non union workers?

Side note: anyone else find it ironic that the union isn't even paying a 'living wage'?

Nah, I don't agree with Mott. I just think it's pretty funny that you demanded that he recant his comment. Who the fuck are you?

On substance, I don't think the subject is even worth commenting on. Unions hire non-union people to picket. Who gives a fuck? Is the Picketers' Local 432 pissed off about it or something?

Wait, what'd you say? There is no picketers' union? Then why the fuck are we talking about this?

and who the fuck are you to whine that i ASKED someone to recant if they can't backup their bullshit claim about propaganda...

of course you don't think it is worth commenting on, because it makes the unions look like hypocrites and assholes...further, it shows that many issues where people are "protesting" left wing issues are actually PAID SHILLS....but when its conservative issues, people like you are frothing at the mouth about astro turfing

your hypocrisy is, as usual, duly noted

How 'bout I ask you to take a steamy piss on live wires? Your hypocrisy schtick is tired, tired, tired. Get some new material.

Oh, and by the way, did you read the article where it mentioned a bible-thumping group paying people to go door to door? I don't give a fuck about that either.

This "story" is a big ol' yawner.

That's really the big red flag! Yes, it is hypocritical, not to pay your union guys to do their own fucking picketing, but it is even more amazing that they have to hire outsiders to bolster their 'cause.

if you can't handle the truth nigel, go bury yourself in the sand, head first

you and mott are in fact being hypocritical...you always whine about it when you caught, yet can never show you're not hypocritical...you made an issue about astroturfing, now...no big deal and so did mott

its bullshit that the union DEMANDS others hire only union, yet the union can't be intellectual honest and do as they preach...oh yeah, this bothers nigel, oh dear, yurt is mentioning hypocrisy....you only hate it because you know i am right

you appear to have a huge log up your ass this morning....
