UFCW Protests Wal-Mart's unfair worker treatment
« on: September 21, 2010, 05:59:03 PM »
History tells me that there was a time that unions served some kind of useful purpose, but all the union members I've personally met have fufilled their stereotype to the hilt.

Then Jon Stewert comes along to with this:

Working Stiffed

The hipocracy, it amuses me.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Why am I not surprised.

More proof that political satire is now indistinguishable from reality.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

My local had some remodeling work and quite a bit of electrical work done at the hall several years ago.
Yup, they hired non-union labor to get it done because it was so much cheaper.
A group of us stood up to protest what had been done. We were expelled from the meeting.

Being a "No Hate" zone and a "Tolerance" zone I was also a bit surprised to be asked to leave a meeting when I wore a Bush/Cheney shirt.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

I love the UFCW guy's comment that they wouldn't have to hire the temps if WalMart would do the right thing.  :laugh:
