LONGSHOREMEN UNION: Hire us or we will kill you...

I have been talking about the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) and how pro union they are even though they are supposed to be neutral and investigate ALL unfair labor practices.

Well in one case, even the NLRB could not look the other way when THIS union “misbehaved”?

It appears that LONGSHORE UNION workers on the West Coast in Washington state stormed the Port of Longview, Washington, overpowering security guards, damaging rail cars, dumping grain, breaking down gates, smashing windows, cutting break lines, pushing security vehicles into ditches and taking the security guards hostage…500 longshoremen at 4:30 AM did all that…no arrests were made…I guess they were pissed at something…labor dispute?

Whatever the labor dispute, it also stopped work at four (4) other ports.

The dispute was actually about a new port and a new company at the port that did not want to hire union workers but later hired a contractor that will use workers from another union...get the point...hire us or we will kill you...yes death threats were made...or we will destroy you...well now, what do we think about that approach to expanding union power.
