Labor unions prevent nonunion power workers from helping in NJ.

[Cancel 2016.11]

Sf get off the drugs dude.

So, we now know that this entire story here:

Labor unions have turned away help from non-union power companies out of Alabama.

WAFF TV48 out of Huntsville, Alabama reports that union labor informed crews from Huntsville and Decatur, “were told by crews in New Jersey they can’t do any work there since they are not Union employees.”

Power company crews from Decatur and Huntsville Utilities are “frustrated”. Some crews have been allowed to restore power in New York while other power crews have had to return home to Alabama. Hurricane Sandy has knocked out power to millions of residents in New England. It is unfathomable to think that Labor Unions would do anything to hinder aid to the people that desperately need it. But they have.

“Local crews were in Roanoke, Virginia which are just waiting and watching even though they originally received a call asking for their help from Seaside heights, New Jersey,” reports Mark Thornhill of WAFF TV48 about labor unions turning Hurricane sandy relief help away.

Maybe jobs in New Jersey should go to non-union workers so the people of New Jersey can be better served. At least if New Jersey jobs were made available to non-union workers then maybe the people of that great state would “see the light” literally and figuratively and do away with labor unions”.

I wonder if the labor unions will be checking the New Jersey obituaries for possible results of their actions. How can any organization stop aid to its people?

IS yet another union hit piece by right wing slime.

Just as BFGRN first stated and I then agreed with.

Right again!

I agree.

I've never wanted to work in a collective bargaining unit myself and I'm not niave to the flaws of unions but it pisses me off when I hear assholes who know nothing about labor unions demonizing them. I have too many family members who do damned good work, mostly skilled work, and it pisses me off to hear them attacked by political extremists because they belong to labor unions.

You continue making bs claims like the above. I worked in a union for three years. Did you?

No one is attacking someone for simply belonging to a union, that is yet another straw man on your part.

I wouldn't know. I have power both at home and in my office. If you are seeing that on television I urge you to make a donation to a legitimate relief agency. I've donated to the Red Cross.

There were a great many people upset at the Red Cross in NYC on the news last night (where I saw the story about the dudes dumpster diving for food).

Seriously, there isn't enough help getting to you if this is something that is happening to very many people.

 

[Bonestorm]

LMAO... yet we are posting from an article on CBS.

All of the original reporting on this bullshit lie of a story can be tracked back to WAFF TV48 in Huntsville, Alabama and Drudge just so happens to have a link (in red) to WAFF TV48 of Huntsville, Alabama's bullshit report. Give me a break, SF.

Drudge is an poo-slinger and a very effective one.

LMAO... um... Joe Wheeler is a unionized company.

LMAO I just copied the headline and in case you didn't notice it's about Huntsville, one of the two Utilities we have been discussing all along.

Get off the drugs SF. YOu guys made complete fools out of yourself jumping on the right wing rageon of the day, and you've now been completely, 100% debunked.

Buffoons.

 

[Cancel 2016.2]

Except that they haven't. Nitwit! That's all ready been shown. You just have a hair up your ass about unions cause as a scab you can't negotiate the quality terms of employment that they do and you're just simply a jealous little fuck.

Actually they have. That said, it doesn't look like the Huntsville crew was told the same as the Decatur. But neither were working in NJ.

Monkey boy has just been completely humiliated and has decided to react by pretending he was right all along! Tinfoil got smart and disappeared.

Are you able to quantify "a great many?" Did you see 3-4 people interviewed, or dozens?

Write a letter to the Red Cross, what do you want me to do about it? They are considered a top-notch relief agency and that is where I made my donation. Do you want me to call them up and ask for it back?

Again rage machine... you are the one making a complete fool of yourself.

Wheeler is unionized, so it is not shocking that they had no problems with unions, but they too are not working in New Jersey.

Huntsville Utilities is NOT working in New Jersey either. They were told they were not needed.

Decatur Utilities has not made an official comment, all we have is the comment from one of the workers that was there.

So tell us Darla... what exactly do you think has been debunked?

Has been completely debunked, does anyone want to try and guess what tomorrow's right wing rageon of the day will be? Or should we just wait for one of the usual suspects to come running in here with it?

Jesus fucking christ, is every thread on this forum bound to turn into a flamefest???

I posted a story I found. If the sources are not enough, so be it. (although those acting as if I am some sort of rightwing hacker have not paid attention to my posts these last few years)

A utility worker gave a story to a news agency. The news agency apparently thought him trustworthy. Some people apparently don't. But does all of that justify the bullshit spewed here by both sides?? WTF?

That's about to be expected anytime you post something on unions. The wingnuts start attacking union workers as "thugs" and those of us who have family members that are members of unions, whose work we are rightfully proud of, tell them to GFO.

Aww... poor little Darla... you have made a complete fool of yourself. I can't help but notice you are no longer quoting the articles. Why is that Darla? Did my quotes make you realize how foolish you have been, so now you attempt to deflect away from what happened???

The union workers have welcomed the nonunion workers with open arms. They have provided fruit baskets and local maps.

The stoy I posted was bogus and I apologize for posting it.



Now Damo, would you please delete this cesspool of hostility? Let them vent their frustrations someplace else.

Time to move to the war zone, eh?

It's like a sickness. I have had family members who made good lives thanks to being in a Union, though they are gone now. But I full support Unions and would never cross a picket line, period. I don't get their whole outlook, but then, what else is new?

I posted a simple news story. I have never been in a union, but I have worked with them enough to think this story is not farfetched.

The mudslinging started before the righties started slamming unions. This is just bullshit instead of discussion. I have asked Damo to delete the thread, he has said he will close & move it instead.
