A St. Louis mail-order drug-distributor announced, Oct. 8, that it will close a warehouse facility on Marshall Lane in Bensalem, Pa. on Dec. 16 and the union which represents the workers has responded by basically saying "Oh Yeah! Better not!".
The union contract expires Dec. 15.
What was actually said by union organizer Bill Ragen at a rally last night in Trevose was "We have to make it more expensive for them to shut it down than for them to keep it open."

Union Terrorists taking business hostage.

good for express scripts for having the guts to shut down
RICO?
You’re Fired!
I suspect they rent, and after Dec. 15 they aren't going to need it anymore anyway.
More like incompetently trying to. I think a whole lot of workers are going to royally ticked at the SEIU leadership.
Union Goons, when your a**es show up to work and there’s no money in you paycheck, maybe then you’ll get the idea.
All Unions should be disbanded. A bunch of thugs & getting all the Government money that belongs to the American People. They were needed many years ago but no more & I’m from a Union family.
It does sound like France actually,the whole mentality of workers running everything into the ground if the Bosses don’t follow through with following their demands.
The funny thing is that while Europe moves away(if slowly)from socialism,it seems the same con men came and set up shop in a place that seemed so much more ripe.Apparently they’d never heard of Mr.Berger or realized what would happen if you tried to empower the left in the United States.
You gives these people the idea that they can have everything and so much more and they will try and have it all within a couple years.
Whatever chance or idea of turning the States into some kind of socialist haven went up in flames.SEIU will most likely disappear back in the Woodwork within a few years.Whether industry can recover from these kinds of incidents,god only knows.
Labor holds capital hostage, with the help of federal labor laws that favor labor over capital.
Capital will find another way. Outsourcing to other countries. Outsourcing to non-human workers.
Guess which will prevail in the end, Labor.
Union rank-and-file, think this over carefully.
Government employees should not be able to join unions in my opinion. They are supposed to be servants for crying out.
Disband all the unions esp. the teachers unions. They care more about how much they can make & teaching socialist views instead of our real American History & reading, writing & arithmetic.
I went to Bill's link at the Philly News and found:
If Express caves, I'll go back to my local pharmacy - screw their 'convenience'!
Ah, the persuasion of power. Go read “Devil At My Doorstep”.
“We have to make it more expensive for them to shut it down than for them to keep it open.”
‘Hope they have insurance on the building.’
Right. What does a threat like that mean?
I betcha they don’t cave.
