Some labor union hate speech
We read:
"Unions representing Verizon workers have appeared to upped the ante on what was already been a heated dispute between labor and management.
Now some think one Brooklyn CWA post has possibly crossed the line calling for, among other things, torture:
“The voice of a representative encourages members to deal harshly with ‘managers and scabs.’ ‘It is open season. Follow them safely, but when you get to a location, torture them, torture them with chants and noise. Be so loud that they can’t concentrate and wish they never got out of bed,’ says the recorded voice. Another part of the message states:
‘They are trying to break our union. Understand brothers and sisters, we can never let these [expletive] piece of [expletive] pigs break us. So, we are stepping up our efforts.’
The message stopped short of calling for physical violence, but it was removed after a NewsChannel 9 reporter called the CWA for comment.

They are probably entitled to say that stuff but when you read it, you understand why the vast majority of Americans want nothing to do with labor unions

There's nothing new about unions using violence and intimidation to get what they want. In fact, back in the late 1920's and early 30's, when the Communist Party USA created the labor movement, violence was their main "bargaining" tool. Not much has changed.
A. Levy: Absolutely correct. Every contact I've had with unions has involved coercion and/or threats of violence. Unions, once needed, have become merely a means for the top executives to become wealthy on the backs of laborers.

If this post is a repeat, I apologize. My first attempt appears to have disappeared into cyberspace.
