Coakley staffers won’t allow “biased” reporter inside their office, claiming private property and civil rights, “which we still have despite nazis like you.” Well played, “Progressives.” Video at the link above.

Yep, union thugs from out of state. UFCW Local One is upstate NY.
Union Thugs for Coakley. They are pissed off because if Brown wins no matter how the Rats try to push the so-called Health Care through, the union deal is dead since it was not voted out of the Senate.
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia...
(A little Brady Bunch lingo)
Anyone know which news outlet the reporters are from?
You noticed that to? Leftists invoking property rights. That’s a good one.
United Food & Commercial Workers Union local 1, Utica New York...
Stone thugs. Coakley's natural supporters.
2003 California grocery strike Main article: Southern California Supermarket strike of 2003-2004 On October 11, 2003, the UFCW declared a strike on Vons (owned by Safeway Inc.), in Southern California, because of changes in the new proposed labor contract. These changes included cuts in health care and pension benefits, and the creation of a two-tier system in which new workers would be paid on a different schedule than established workers. The day following the strike, Albertsons and Ralphs, owned by Kroger, locked out their Southern California employees. The strike ended on February 26, 2004 when the UFCW and affected companies reached an agreement on a new labor contract. Union employees voted to end the strike, and many employees cited financial difficulties as a reason for reaching the agreement. The new labor contract included concessions granted by the chains relating to current employee benefits and wages, and concessions granted by the union relating to creating two tiers of employees and cutting benefits overall.
[edit] UFCW and Smithfield Foods Since the 1990s, the UFCW had been embroiled in a dispute with non-unionized meat processing company Smithfield Foods. The UFCW had repeatedly attempted to organize the company's Bladen County, North Carolina meat-packing plant but Smithfield Foods resisted this organization. In 2007, Smithfield filed a federal lawsuit against the UFCW citing the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, claiming that the union orchestrated a public smear campaign to hurt Smithfield's business as a method of extorting the company.[5] In the media, a Smithfield official cited the lawsuit as necessary by claiming that the company was "under attack," while union officials responded by calling the lawsuit an "attack on democracy and free speech."[6] In October 2008, the UFCW and Smithfield reached an agreement, under which the union agreed to suspend its boycott campaign in return for the company dropping its RICO lawsuit and allowing another election. On December 10 and 11, workers at the plant voted 2,041 to 1,879 in favor of joining the UFCW, bringing the 15-year fight to an end.[7]
[edit] UFCW and Wal-Mart Wal-Mart, a non-unionized company, has repeatedly been accused by the UFCW of treating its workers poorly and driving down employment standards. The UFCW has repeatedly attempted to organize the chain, but these attempts have been unsuccessful in the United States. In Canada, the UFCW managed to win union recognition at two Wal-Mart stores in Quebec. One of these locations, in Jonquière, Que., was subsequently "shelved" and the other unionization was appealled.[8] The Supreme Court of Canada, refused to hear the Wal-Mart appeal.[9] The union has also applied for recognition at a dozen other Wal-Marts and has won a contract with a Wal-Mart store in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.[10] In April 2005, as part of a volley of accusatory websites created by Wal-Mart and the UFCW, the union created Wake Up Wal-Mart, a U.S.-based website and campaign with the stated goal of reforming Wal-Mart's business practices.[11]
[edit] UFCW and Tesco In 2007, Tesco, a British corporation, opened a chain of U.S. grocery stores under the Fresh & Easy banner. To date, no stores in the chain are unionized. In 2008, the UFCW and MP Jon Cruddas launched a campaign in Britain attacking the company's refusal to negotiate with the union. The campaign alleges that Tesco is not acting in the highest standards by which it operates in the UK as it concerns employee rights. [12]
[edit] UFCW and Bashas' In 2007, Bashas' filed a lawsuit against UFCW with the Supreme Court of Arizona. The lawsuit names the UFCW and the union's operatives - including its false-front organization, "Hungry for Respect" - for alleged defamation and intentionally interfering with the grocer's operations to extort an agreement for union representation. The company also named Radio Campesina (a project of the United Farm Workers Union founded by Cesar Chavez), Councilman Michael Nowakosky, and Reverend Trina Zelle as defendants.[13]
What’s really going on in that office? What is it they don’t want us to see?
CA....
Too many of you to respond to for doing due diligence I don’t have a lot of time to do (working on deadline as corporate slave). I updated the Feed Your ADHD post with your work and am linking back here so others can see your work.
Great job!

I believe the ‘staffers’ were present in the last ‘goon’ video linked here:

and discussed here:
“Coakley goons”

The ‘staffer’ wears the Vermont hooded sweatshirt says, “hey you dropped something, you’re self respect,” while his cohort stands to his right (our left.)
In the new video, the loudmouth is wearing a UFCW union turtleneck, while his cohort is now wearing a hoodie.
Quite sure it’s the same loudmouth.
Same clowns, different video. Don’t they work for a living...oh, that’s right, I forgot.
