A bill that was authored by an Ironworkers’ union organizer to expand union-only Project Labor Agreements–to include Hurricane Sandy cleanup and reconstruction–passed the New Jersey Senate on Monday along party lines 23-13. The Ironworkers’ union organizer who drafted the pro-union bill, Steven Sweeney, also happens to be the president of the New Jersey Senate and recently accused New Jersey Governor Chris Christie of “praying” for Hurricane Sandy to hit New Jersey. As it turns out, though, unions must be counting their blessing with the New Jersey’s Senate passage of S. 2425 which adds to an already-existing discriminatory PLA laws in...

Non-Union Workers Barred from Sandy Reconstruction Work in NJ​

If you were wondering why politicians were so desperate to get the Sandy funding, it wasn’t to help people, they could care less about the storm victims, it was to bring in more pork and more cash for their union pals.

Not to worry. Your next GOP POTUS candidate Gov. Christie will never sign it.

Hey, who let Laurel and Hardy in here?

And when everyone is bitching because everything is going too slow we can tell them tough shit.

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

Christie (aka Pizza) the Hut to the rescue!

 

[Stephanie]

Well well, what a shock..that Christy thinks so much of the people he represents, he has limited who can come in and do cleanup for them..

No wonder he was screaming for all our money so he can pay Union wages

What goes around, comes around.

This bill was written by the Koch brother's controlled ALEC and the Republican's lined up to vote for it:

Wisconsin GOP Senators Pass Stand-Alone Anti-Union Bill Without Democrats Present

You Nutter's wanted to start a war with unions, so you'd better learn to take a hit as well as give one.

No. There is no excuse for what they did. Requiring union only labor only increases cost and decreases time span for completion of projects. This is a total payoff to unions. People in NJ ought to be outraged. The American taxpayer ought to be outraged. Except we've been dicked so many times we're used to it by now.
Fuck unions. Outlaw them now.
