"Duane Hammet’s son has been serving in the Navy for three years. While at work recently, Hammond was sporting a sweatshirt and hat depicting his son’s ship, the USS George H. W. Bush. “Work” for Hammond is as a union stagehand, and while setting up for an Obama rally in L.A. today, his employer didn’t take too kindly to the name on his clothes.
According to Hammond, and reported by KTLA-TV in Los Angeles, the union asked him to remove his hat and turn his sweatshirt inside-out so that the name “Bush” would not be visible. When he refused, Hammond says he was fired:

Never join a union. They're Marxist political organizations full of thugs and other lazy throwbacks. I wish them nothing but ill.

---True, but people still join them to get regular yearly raises or the security of never ever being fired unless you do something truly atrocious. The issue with unions is the leadership, union members need to stop voting for commies and put real people in charge.
I am a member of a union not by choice but because other employees voted in a union. In my department we are mostly technical personnel whereas the the large majority of the voting personnel were housekeepers and other service personnel. (I work in a hospital) Even if all the technical personnel voted no, we still would have been outvoted so the result was a forgone conclusion. Yes they did get us raises in the 4 year contract. Anyone want to guess when we got most of the raise? Yep, in the very last year. We are also stuck with a bunch of lazy workers who do as little as possible because they can get away with it.
"the security of never ever being fired unless you do something truly atrocious." --- Or something very mildly politically incorrect.
Now if the shirt has said "George Bush is worse than Hitler," it would have been just fine to ware it!
