Yeah, Westy. You're just not nuanced enough to understand that union thugs breaking kneecaps is good for America.To pose the question in such simplistic and diluted form indicates that you don't understand the situation. So I'll explain it.You still havn't answered the question of if violence is OK to use against people going to work.
My understanding of the news report is the striking employees are unionized and have a contract which is under renewal. All of the renewal terms have been agreed on but the union's lawyer has found language in the terms submitted by the company which would permit arbitrary dismissal (layoff) and replacement of union workers, thereby enabling the company to gradually replace the entire union work force with non-union (scab) labor. The union is demanding removal of those terms and the company has not only refused but has commenced to exercise the proposed intention by bringing in scabs in conflict with terms of the existing contract.
This is boldface union busting. So the situation is not as simple as you either think it is or are trying to present it as.
