Non-Union Power Crews Turned Away

Non-Union Power Crews Turned Away

Comments 3 comments

Pretty pathetic. I don’t care if you are tried and true union blue. But damn, these people need help. And it shows the hypocracy of unions.

Even for the better good for everyone, they turn down help because they don’t want their sacred unions shown up. Sounds a lot like the current administration.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY

The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews learned they’ll be doing work in Long Island, New York instead of in New Jersey.

Utility crews volunteered with Sandy recovery.

Crews from Decatur Utilities and Joe Wheeler out of Trinity headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can’t do any work there since they’re not union employees.

The crews that are in Roanoke, Virginia say they are just watching and waiting even though they originally received a call asking for help from Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

The crews were told to stand down. In fact, Moore said the crew from Trinity is already headed back home.

Understandably, Moore said they’re frustrated being told “thanks, but no thanks.”

I am reading about the tragic shooting in Milwaukee and the MSN home page shows a picture of an FBI assault vehicle. Our government police are beginning to look like…. our regular military. If you did not know better, where would you think this pic is taken from?
 Reminds me of this clip from Die Hard

Korean Company Makes Millions On Another Stimulus Failure

Korean Company Makes Millions On Another Stimulus Failure

Comments 0 Comment

So let me get this straight, Korean company gets $151 million, builds manufacturing plant with half , uses other half to buy materials to take back to Korea to….make batteries. So they are taking stimulus dollars and supplying a Korean company with it? And they are basically warehousing workers with nothing to do, so they can gain a  property tax exemption. Looks like some other countries are laughing hysterically at the idiocy of this program, laughing all the way to the bank.
