Picket in a depression, really? 8:45 PM and the rent a mob came in a huge truck to protest a Ralphs during the Obama depression, because during a depression they all think not working to protest is a great idea. Union creeps picketing a Ralphs at Pico & Beverly in Los Angeles. Of course the press showed up at the same time for the made for news event. People like my wife pay nearly $700 a month for her health coverage and these dweebs complain about a $37 payment for their own health care. F them all IMO. Fire them.

So they will be picketing empty stores, with no customers LOL. And the non union stores will be the benefactors.

It must have been quite a sight to watch “media” knuckledraggers and union knuckledraggers grunting at one another.

In my neighborhood, we have handi market, costco, smart and final and trader joe’s, SO WHAT, this is ludicris sad for the workers forced out, but I’ve been out of work since June2010, still looking they don’t want a job I’ll take theirs, without the union there.

Eight forty five, the store was still going.

They were not allowed in the store and were corralled by police on Beverly on mostly the far side of the store on Pico Blvd.

Made for news event for the left wing media. They were all there.

I’m a couple of blocks north-east of this mess and I stopped hearing them.
Means the rent-a-mob was only there for the press and already left after a half an hour.

How pathetic is that?
Will the press report they showed up for a few minutes to be filmed then ran away like roaches in the light?

Unions and Democrats giving away entitlements to everyone has raped the state of California bare.
Also the riff raff we do get in the state the last bunch of years all throw trash around and spray can walls like they get paid to do it.
Stupidity abounds here almost everywhere.

You’ve got it wrong. They’re closing the stores so that the customers get pissed at the UNIONS when they can’t get their ice cream and bologna.

We pay over $300/month for our PORTION of our family health plan. Store goons are whining because theirs will be $92/mo. I’ll gladly cross that picket line with a smile on my face and my middle finger pointing at the bitches.

I;m close to the Ralphs at La Brea and Fountain. They did the same thing there today. What really bugs me is the Jons’ right across moved to another location.

The article was chosen to explain they were going to shut down.
I was eye witnessing what I saw and could think of no other way to report it here. The scene was surreal.

At least you can get a tattoo by Kat Von D there. That if memory serves is where she has the big yellow shop sans the show she had.

Unions are setting up made for TV events IMO.

Yup...still does. But I usually head to the small Thai resto right beside it and order out.

That place looked dark and dirty, but you say it’s good?
My wife and I almost ate there but it looked too questionable. Glad you mentioned that, maybe next time.

Don’t know, just know what I saw.
First time I saw a made up for news event by a rent-a-mob.

VERY INTERESTING and real low class IMO.
