I think that the union goons are just trying to cover their @ss. I belonged to a union. About the only thing they were good for, was to collect dues.
I'm not a racist. I don't even like his white half.
New York and New Jersey have been hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy. Some people might not get electricity for another week or more. There arent enough utility workers to make the repairs. Utility workers from other states are donating their services to help.
Alabama Power Co. and electric cooperatives in Alabama have sent more than 1,000 workers to help in states damaged by Sandy.
Alabama Power reports that it already has 441 personnel in Atlantic City, and it has 80 others headed to New Jersey, West Virginia and Maryland. In addition, it has released 372 contract workers to help other utilities in the Mid-Atlantic states.
The Alabama Rural Electric Association says 16 cooperatives have sent 141 crew members to help restore power in Virginia and Maryland.
Now there are several stories that say the utility workers from Alabama were turned away from New Jersey because they did not belong to a union.
This is not an isolated story. Reports are coming in from other places where utility workers from non-union right-to-work states are being told to stand down because they dont have union credentials.
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.
Some crews have already headed back home.
Electric repair work for public utilities in New Jersey is dominated by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, a unit of the politically powerful AFL-CIO.
I wonder if the people in New Jersey are aware of this story. I bet they dont care anything about a utility worker being unionized. All they want is their electricity back on.
By the way, the AFL-CIO, and unions in general, will be supporting Obama and the Democrats on Nov. 6. Vote accordingly.

Give me a break. Any thinking person (and obviously that doesn't include you) knows he made a simple speech error. He meant billion instead of trillion, and that's clear to anyone with a brain (and obviously that doesn't include you). Get a life and worry about Romney's lies instead of a slip of a word.
And did you notice that the entire "article", as you call it, consisted of one paragraph in a right wing rag of a source? And it wasn't even worth a mention anywhere else, not even Fox News, because everyone with any sense (and obviously that doesn't include you) knows this is a total non- issue.

Joe Biden has a habit of opening his mouth before he puts his brain in gear.

So now working as a college professor isn't work, nor is being a community organizer.
I guess managing your investments, is work.
If you've ever actually taught even a class, let alone semester after semester you would have a very different view of what teaching is about.
Guess we all need to dig ditches by hand to get your respect.
He was NOT a college professor. He was a part time guest lecturer at Univ. of Chicago. That is a big difference. BTW, both Barack and Moochell have given up their law licenses. Why would they do that?
Romney kicked-ass last night. Obamalamadingdong didn't have his TOTUS with him. :thumbup:
I am a Bear fan. I should be happy that the Packers lost. But the Packers got screwed. I don't like to see any team lose a game this way. Goodell needs to get this referee situation cleared up NOW!!!
The referees get a very nice six figure salary, for a part time job. They need to tone down their demands.
I saw this ship when I was in the UK several years ago. I marveled at the beautiful construction and the rigging. You had to be a SAILOR to operate that ship.
Surprise everyone, and buy a Pentax.
One thing that you have to remember--Unions need companies to survive. Companies do not need unions to survive.
