Union Blues

[chevett]

Since the middle of April, city workers have been on strike in Windsor. Recently, they've been acting like assholes. Picketing residents cleaning up a park so that kids can play baseball and soccer -- or people picking up garbage, because some spots look fucking awful? That's some good public relations! Would these same workers react the same way

Thumbs up to this post.

Man... it's even harder to swallow, considering how noble and hopeful unions used to be. But everything Marx said would happen to them, has happened.

The city was against the clean-up for legal reasons -- what if someone hurt themselves during it -- so the union SHOULD have encouraged its members to help the clean-up and win a big PR battle over the city. As it is, no one remembers that the city was against it, just that the union were assholes during it.
