the people that now openly carry those firearms in the wild west--that's who--
soon to come to a place near you in remembrance of the days of Tombstone--
one of the greatest stresses on our society in the last 40 years .

Teamsters eh?...... I made a great deal of money repairing the damage Teamster drivers did to company equipment that was being used by scabs while a strike was going on....

the perpetrators were even so nice as to give me a heads up to what damage they did, so I could make sure to bring the proper parts/supplies. ( mostly cut airlines /electrical cords, and a quite few slashed tires)

yeah, the Teamsters, such a great bunch of guys :lol:

as for the topic, it's wrong an inappropriate to publish the list....as a few of you have proven, it's all about intimidation and/or shaming the non-union workers (who are not harming you in any shape form or fashion).
if i were named on that list, i would sue the union for using my name without permission..... i might win, i might lose... but those wasting those hard won union dues on lawyers is just as good as any other purpose they go for.

It's more about shaming. Companies do a much better job using intimidation tactics.

A scab is like someone coming into youtr house anad stealing food out of your refridgerator and freezer as well as stealing your money. If their weren't such deplorable people in the world, contracts would be settled and scabs woudn't exist. It's when mean spirited interlopers jump into something that's none of their business and then short circut their own abilities to get decent wages anad benefits all the while cutting the throats of those who are in the fight for such wages and benefits that guys get pissed off.

And they should get pissed off. What would you do when someone with bad intent rushed your house to steal from you?

they aren't stealing anything from you, regardless of what the union propaganda says.

I'm sorry you are scared of firearms, but there's nothing i can or will do for you.

So, prove to me that you know what you're talking about. So far, you've made just another baseless assertion.

I was a Teamster for 30 years and a shop steward for 18 of those years. I worked the neredowells and they were either thrown back into the hiring hall or they were "warning lettered" out of their jobs: three on the same subject in 6 months means instant termination.

NALC branch 1100 for 10 years, shop steward for 2.

maybe, maybe not..... the union actions in question are still inappropriate.

And the union side if the story is it's inappropriate for them to have to equally protect people who refuse to pay for representation. Instead, their coworkers who pay union dues are paying for it.
 
Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers

I saw Kal tell me last night that every single armed robbery ever committed was done by someone with a rap sheet.
Now how do you suppose he could go about proving that bit of idiocy as you just called this poster out?
I guess when yer heavily invested in a thread like this you don't see both sides of the argument do you?
RedAkston said:
Did you seriously just compare an amendment to the Constitution to labor laws? Wow! Just when I thought I'd seen every for of idiocy that the left can vomit on their keyboards, someone comes along to lower the bar even further. Are you going to compare the sacrifice our troops made defeating the Nazi regime in WW2 to the union leaders of old next? :roll:

I wouldn't have expected you to go all Godwin with Unions--
since they and the MOB fought against the GOPs like Prescott Bush who were aligned with Hitler.

Nor would I have expected you to play the Patriot card with our troops--oh wait, yer a conservative and that's what you folks do.

And vomit on key boards--just wow Red .

I have noticed here that the cons abandon their OP pretty quick, sometimes immediately after it is posted. I've even seen conservative OP's abandoning their OP. I guess they have other things to 'blog' about, vs discussion of a particular event or issue. Tends to make it waste of time to participate, at least on the initial topic.

I hate to bring it up--I wonder how the conservatives on here can justify not paying their dues to DP as I do.
I do appreciate the forum and make sure to show what an economic liberal I am by paying more than my fair share.

On topic, I see we're back to the far rightist Francoists defending scabs not paying their fair share of negotiating costs.
Yet expecting the Union to set them up with a nice pension and all the perks of dues payers during their career.

Pretty sore issue with these non-Union scofflaws--kind of like how they keep moving the goalposts on guns issues .

Seems that ship left port when the libs couldn't argue the facts of the OP. Just why they justified it.
 
Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers

Yes it's their attack strategy before an election--
and then watch Kochsucker ads telling the Nation how great they are with females doing the ads .

The OP's claim that the union is intimidating and harrassing the scabs was refuted a long time ago and that the only "personal information" they published was info that is public.

And you are no true conservative sir--

Like to parse a lot, huh? Kinda like defining what the word "is", is.

There's a word for those kind of people.

It's simply more of the Reagan gimme attitude without having to pay the taxes to cover expenses--Sen. Dole calls it his greatest mistake .

you guys act like most of the union dues goes towards negotiating contracts and other representational services..... well, they don't..... less than 30% of member dues goes to representation,.

You can harass with public info alone. And scabs are the workers who work across picket lines, not generally all non-union workers.

Now, what other possible reason would the union have of publishing these names other than to target them for harassment?
