Wisconsin Union Thugs take extortion campaign to a new level....

Sure sounds like the mafia, doesn't it? I wonder how teachers, the ones who cry that we're not treating them as professionals, allow themselves to be associated with these thugs.

An article I read about this wonders if the union thugs will also ask homeowners to put signs in their yards. And if they don't?

I posted a story on union crimes as it affected my own family, when this all started. Don't remember which discussion as there are so many. But to make a long story short: my oldest brother was on the board of a bank, part owner, when union officials came to him with a request to launder some money. He at first, was going to go along with it. (I know, I'm not proud of it, but he's passed away now so I won't speak ill of him)Anyway, he then declined. He then began getting threats that his oldest daughter would be kidnapped if he wouldn't go along with it. It was a MAJOR upset in my family for a few years, I was young and don't remember all the details. I only know that my mother and brother fought a lot about it. My brother in law owns construction companies and employes many people in unions. I've never heard him speak a good word about the unions. Now before someone jumps in and says it's cause he's a boss...and wants to 'steal' from his employees, I will tell you that he's taken from his own money to help employees going through hard times. The man put my son to work and paid his rent until he got on his feet and has done similar things for his other employees.

Metallion, you would gladly support your union gods, even if they ordered your own murder. You're a pathetic waste.

I did read it. You've posted a small part of it. Anyone wanting to read more can read the whole page or even look it all up themselves. Even if y'all don't believe it, we all can read.

One of these days y'all are going to read these links before posting them, and then I'm going to have work a little harder to refute you. On the federal level, the right of a labor union to arrange a secondary boycott is limited by section 8(b)(4) of the National Labor Relations Act. Under the act, no labor union may threaten, coerce, or restrain any person engaged in commerce in order to force that person to cease doing business with any other person (29 U.S.C.A. § 158(b)(4)(ii)(B)).

Heaven forbid a union thug has to work for a living!

Idiot, this isn't just a simple boycott. They are issuing threats to these companies simply because they want to stay politically neutral. They aren't just saying they will not do business with them, they are threatening them! I know you don't give a crap, as long as your union gods are worshiped. But the rest of us respect rights.

"With that we'd ask that you reconsider taking a sign and stance to support public employees of this community. Failure to do so will leave us with no other choice but do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means "no" to those who work for the largest employer in your area and are union members." "If you desire to get of our boycott list please call 878-4488 and leave a message or contact me, thanks." "Jim Parrett, Field Rep. AFSCME Council 24 626-767-0873" Here is page 2 of the letter: http://media.trb.com/media/graphic/2011-03/60533286.bmp I'm also including a link to page 1, there aren't any specific threats here, but I wanted to make sure you could read the whole document, so you didnt' think I was keeping something back. Some of the businesses have had union members block access to their places. On the other hand, some businesses in union grove have responded by putting up a different since instead... "We support Union Grove, not bully tactics" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1JeKFax1ow This letter was sent to businesses that refused to post signs supporting the unions. A boycott is refusing to do business with someone for a specific reason. There is nothing wrong with boycotts. However, these thugs went a step further and sent a threat.. which is a felony.

Idiot Stay classy, Ted. Don't ever change. They are issuing threats to these companies simply because they want to stay politically neutral. That's a very serious accusation. Precisely what is being threatened? Be specific. Back up your answer with verifiable facts.
