My wife grew up in Toms River NJ and is still in contact through social media with old friends.
Apparently some volunteer electrical workers came to NJ looking to help with repairs. They were told they could not be used because they were not union workers. So they left NJ and went to another state to help out.
This is why many of us do not like unions. As a person many of the workers are great people, but as a union they cannot think for themselves and when striking become an angry mob who acts like a child when he cannot have his own way. Instead of just striking they have to create problems for those who are willing to step in and actually work.
Oh and then there's the really bright ones who put signs on their kids and send them to do their bidding as was posted on FB during the last Verizon strike, the one where most American were saying fire the whole lot and hire people who want to work instead of making unreasonable demands.
Yes unreasonable because they were striking over the same exact thing that every company in America is dealing with. Passing more health costs onto the employee. Most would be thankful to have a job and be able to support their family but not union workers, they are better then the rest of us.
Sorry I like the other 90% in this country feel that the sooner unions are done away with the better off this country will be.
Labor laws have changed with time, unfortunately unions have not.
