    Unions blocking workers in NJ

    @michellemalkin @viewofadam Im from Alabama. We have great utility crews in our state. Too bad politics keeps them from showing NewJersey—

    Unions first, hurricane victims later. This blood-boiling report from Alabama’s WAFF 48 News will come as no surprise to those familiar with the Big Labor protection racket.

    The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews from Huntsville Utilities learned they’ll be doing work in Long Island, New York instead of in New Jersey. Crews from Huntsville, as well as Decatur Utilities and Joe Wheeler out of Trinity headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can’t do any work there since they’re not union employees…The crews were told to stand down. In fact, Moore said the crew from Trinity is already headed back home.

    It’s almost enough to leave you speechless. Almost:

    @viewofadam I'm surprised that there isn't also required validation they are Dems & voting Obama #STUPID #ForcedAcceptance #DestroyUnions—

    @viewofadam why would any gov't allow its citizens to suffer longer for labor views? When tornadoes hit us, we were grateful for ALL help!—

    Alabama utility crews drive 900 miles to help restore power to hurricane-ravaged NJ … and get turned away. #smh ow.ly/1Pjtmg—

    @ConEdison is it true that utility worker crews from Alabama are being turned away because they are nonunion?—

    @GovChristie Alabama utility crews turned away because they are non-union? True?—

    Guess we’ll see if Obama’s “We leave nobody behind” vow has a union label sewn on it.

      More than twice as much with union workers and twice as long to get the job done.
      Don't worry about what you can't change.
      Do the best you can with what you have.
      Be honest, even if it hurts.

        LOL at the union building it right. The union would rather build it twice than right. Ever worked for a union shop? You should ask locally based Bell Helicopter why they are not the number 1 helicopter company in the world, ANYMORE.

          That would be the people with no power or water or food. They care. If the union was so great, they'd be done with the repairs by now because every union member in the US would have gotten there and had it up and going.

          Last I checked, anything union costs more

            I'm not a big Christie fan, but good luck Union workers, he hates the shit out of unions, and having them stand in the way of Christie and peoples livelihoods is probably the worst place any union worker wants to be.

              Yet another reason unions should be outlawed. And if they keep rescue crews from entering and doing a job, they should be arrested for obstruction

                ...or shot.

                You are part of the problem or part of the solution. Lead, follow (Help) or get out of the way. It is that simple.

                  When I was in England I sat at a table with 5 other guys at a bar, all of which were blue collar laborers. Interestingly enough all of them were self employed. Electrician, Carpenter, Plumber, etc. And I talked to them about politics and the atmosphere of England vs. the US. They told me about how ridiculous the unions are in England, and it blew my mind the power and destructiveness they have on business. Unions can be very destructive if left unchecked. I don't want to overreact based on one article, but they can be just as, or even more dangerous than those evil corporations. Someone good to ask about this is Mr. Fiux. He's living in England right now and he's had his share of bad experiences due to unions.

                    If you ever want people on the anti-Union wagon, keep 'em without power for 4 days and tell them it's going to take longer because the union forced non-union help away.

                        In my industry, the union laborers are generally the fucking laziest, most self-entitled, ignorant and useless wastes of space.

                            I have never seen a union job finish on time, under budget, with any degree of success ever. You also don't see innovation from union.

                              Do you really believe that or are you still trolling? ROFLMAO.

                              I know a few people who work for unions in different fields, non are more qualified than the rest.

                              The most vivid example I have is a GM "union" worker trying to lift a car by the oilpan. I am sure glad unions only hire the most experienced, quality oriented workers the labor force has to offer!

                              And those guys make $25-30 an hour screwing a couple bolts onto a frame. That takes no more experience than the guy who works at Jiffy Lube making $9 an hour....
