Union protests at Los Angeles airport, threatening to disrupt holiday travel

What part of "they voted to kick you out" doesn't the SEIU understand? This protest isn't because of a contract dispute, it the SEIU having a cow because one of their locals said "your outta here". So they are going to screw up Holiday traffic for tens of thousands as a response. How many of those folks stuck in traffic are going to feel all warm and fuzzy about the SEIU after this? Missing flights out of town, relatives flying in for the holidays wandering around the airport looking for family who was supposed to be there to pick them up. I'm sure they will be sympathetic to the SEIU's issue.....won't they?

You are witnessing the slow and noisy death of the Labor Union Dinosaurs.

 

Let them eat Twinkies.

 

Do you have Raley's where you live, PP? I drove up to do my shopping a few weeks back and saw that there were picketers outside. I almost turned around until I realized that the people who were picketing weren't store workers. Come to find out, Raley's has never had a union and none of their workers were on strike. They were all busy doing their jobs and earning their pay.

The local grocer's union was picketing in front of their store because the Raley's employees weren't contributing to the unions and their pensions.

I'm still trying to figure out why the police weren't called and the picketers forcefully removed.

 

lol good job dumbasses, way to get people on your side by making an already hard enough issue of even getting to get to their flight harder, and also making people miss their flights.

who in the hell do these (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s think they are? how dare they screw with peoples lives who have nothing to do with what somebody gets paid. people saved up and paid good money for a flight to go on vacation for the holidays, why take it out on them???

hopefully this creates a huge backlash against unions and they get put in their place.

 

No Rally's, but we do have In 'N Out! Maybe Rally's are franchises and the owner didn't want to (*)(*)(*)(*) off the union. The Manager should have called the police if they were on his property.

 

It's already happening, Aviation Safeguards employees aren't the only ones moving to decertify. Boy, do those overgrown Union children throw a hissy fit. Sorry, their "gang" mentality doesn't fly anymore. All the things they fought for in the 1930's are almost universally incorporated in labor law these days. They just can fathom it when their thug ilk isn't wanted anymore.

 

The Unions are not making many friends lately, first the Kamikaze Bakers Union killing of the Hostess Twinkie, now the SEIU's causing numerous travelers to miss their Thanksgiving flights out of LAX, then the Black Friday bargain hunters are going to get cheated out of their spoils by the Union pickets. Sooner or later ordinary Americans are gonna start feeling the only patriotic thing to do is s#$$t a union member. They're all anti American Commies anyway.

 

We need to let that woman that punched out the Walmart door greeter deal with the picketers. Good luck to them if they get in her way, she'll flatten every one of 'em.

 

Smart move. I'll say that much. At least tempomarily.

 

Fire them all. Oh wait, Reagan is dead and Obama's a p u s s y so I'm sure nothing will be done.

 

And now let's remember the lesson of what happens when you read a bias source, without double checking it.

And now the paragraph you cut out of the middle

The Service Employees International Union, or SEIU, claims a company that employs 450 sky caps, cabin cleaners and security workers at LAX illegally broke a contract and is in violation of the city’s living wage ordinance.

I am glad these unions are protesting at LAX. Hatred for unions is on the rise, especially after the Hostess incident. Now with what is happening at LAX, hopefully this will make more people hate unions and see them for the trash they are. Unions are now following the old saying of giving oneself enough rope to hang themselves, and they are doing just that to themselves. Who knows, we could see some more future Gov. Scott Walkers out of this. If these unions keep this up, a Republican would be wise to run an anti-union platform and in their campaign, competely expose and trash unions. In closing, here is a link to the good guys, keep them in mind if you have union problems:

I hope a couple of irate travelers, thinking they may not make their flights, run over some of these union scumbags. Heck, burn some rubber on their parasite asses.

 

The workers at Aviation Safeguards voted to decertify and give the SEIU the ozone. This was the SEIU giving the public the finger on a holiday weekend out of spite for getting the boot.

 

Of course they are going to claim that, however that's a job for the NLRB, not screwing up every bodies holiday.

 

That point had nothing to do with what I said.

 

Especially with the public service unions. Expose their contracts for all to see before any votes to raise taxes to save their sorry asses.

 

I saw the message. Nice try at saving your postion. I'll give you that much.

 

How about we see the books of all the essential company's(oil, power, etc) books and let the the people vote on the price we pay for these services.

You must be confusing private companies with Government agencies that are fully funded with taxpayers money. We have a right to know what they are doing with our money. I'm sure if you buy enough oil company stock, they'll let you look at their books.

 

That is what I thought you would say. I am just trying to point out the double standard the far right has on this issue. They have no problem wanting to dictate what a worker should make, but they no problem with a company that sells essential services making insane profits off of us. I have no problem with non essential services charging whatever they want, but if a company offers a service that all Americans need to live,(not a HD TV or smartphone, etc), gas, electricity etc, then profits need to be managed.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Chris

Professor,

that is exactly it, but we even need to take it further - which is expose the Union-Democrat money laundering scheme, in which public sector unions whose employees salaries are paid by the taxpayer, then the dues collected by unions off our tax money are used to support the Democrat Party. So, whether we like it or not, we are supporting the Democrat party via a money laundering scheme. What we need is a Republican presidential candidate to win, and this Republican have it out for unions, and that president will destroy unions to the point they will never recover from it. Oh, and more union fraud...did you know in the state of Nevada, the SEIU is in charge of the voting machines??? Hmmm...if you research the Las Vegas Sun Journal, you will see numourous complaints of people who voted for Sharon Angle, but Harry Reid's name came up instead. Democrats and unions, to understand them, one would have to have knowledge on how the mafia operates, and regardless of that, money laundering, and voter fraud, unions and Democrats are like a horse and carriage.
