1,200 LAX workers expected to strike, preventing family visits over Thanksgiving

News flash because of Obama's economy not many are traveling .....

This is why public employee unions have got to go...they are too powerful. Tomorrow, tens of thousands of people will likely be unable to visit family over Thanksgiving or heavily delayed due to a strike at Los Angeles Intel. In addition, the strike could cause delays and cancellations all across the transportation network. The employees claim they need more healthcare, but it's just unethical to strike when you work for the only service of your kind in your city, especially when it'll prevent people from seeing family on Thanksgiving. Take a look at the union leaders excuses in an interview today:

The state needs to act and make these strikes illegal.

I caught a radio interview with a former member and current employee.

Seems the workers voted to drop the union and ended up with better benies and pay. And that no actual employee, that he knew, was striking.

I guess it depends on one's perspective. You worry about someone missing a meal, they worry about providing health care to their family.

They have no health care? Really? IS that the issue?

That's awful!

No healthcare? Wow

KrustyFrankie chimes in against unions! Shocker!

Did you know that LAX workers had no healthcare? This is the first I heard of it

No actual employee was striking, but the SEIU, who ran this protest brought in over 1,000 people to disrupt traffic. Not only at LAX either. The freeways around LAX were horrible. There was no way to get past LAX even if you weren't going there.

Commies hate Unions.

So do Nazis.

Go fig.

Yep. And so do many union members. Boy...really screwed up aint it.

 

[Goodoledays]

They may become EX LAX workers.

That is so fucking funny !

It wont be for the workers.

Unions are leeches whose sole purpose it is to kill off the host.

A few years ago when the grocery stores went on strike, Kroeger said if the union demands were met, it would be more profitable for the company to close all their stores in California. All other union controlled stores would close too. Too bad it didn't happen, we would have been a long way to being a right to work state.

But I bet Ubama is still running around. And I don't mean chasing down the turkey.

 

[Koios]

How fucking greedy can they get?????

As greedy as employers would balance it out, I'd think.

Problem is, employers on average are being more greedy than employees. Record profits, and shrinking pay plus longer workdays and no paid breaks... unless of course workers organize and balance out the greed equation.

And their entire results?

More people detesting unions and willing to back legislation to further hamper their thug tactics.

And yet, Kroger gave in to the unions, and they're still open.

Guess that means they were lying when they claimed that it would be "more profitable" to close their stores...

Thanks

Just more proof of how degenerate unions have become.

Not only do they put the screws directly to their employers but they will also fuck over innocent bystanders on a family holiday.

Yeah, the sooner we're a fascist state, controlled by the wealthy corporations (are people), the better.

That's awful. Why don't unions try to plan their strikes when they would be the least inconvenient for management and its customers?

Meanies!

Then you don't know what happened. The grocery store union strike was over the employee picking up part of dependent insurance coverage. The company would still cover them, but the employee would have to pick up part of dependent coverage. The settlement reached was Kroeger would pay ALL dependent insurance coverage, but for full time, permanent employees. Except for key personnel like floor managers, everyone else is part time. Not only are they part time, but most, through store transfers have to work for years before they can get out of the probationary period. They are laid off at one store, and picked up by another, starting the probationary period all over again. The union settlement did nothing but hurt the employees.

I assure you that most, if not all, of us stuck on the 405 freeway were neither customers of LAX nor management of LAX.
