Via Twitchy, read about Alabama TV station WAFF’s report on non-union utility crews who traveled from the South to help restore power to Hurricane Sandy victims — only to be turned away because they were non-union.

Hey Ears, your union buddies are causing undue strife....

Incredible! Hannity is on this now.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Hannity just played a clip of them being dog cussed and called scabs.

[morphing libertarian]

Let them wallow in their hatred and ignorance.

Get people on the scene, and shout this from the rooftops!

As people suffer, the coercive political power which unions are imposing on citizens through this Administration's policies are now being imposed to further punish innocent victims of a storm. Just a taste of things to come under an Administration they control.

...good, we'll have to find it on YT and make sure we pass it around so it goes viral. Like I said, Hey Odungo your union buddies are holding people back from helping....

[The Cajun]

I say, hop back in your bucket trucks boys and come back to the South, you did your duty trying to help.

anybody have that video clip that Sean played just earlier? I would like to see and hear it again!

And the NY Marathon goes on, with numerous generators sitting idle, able to power 400 homes in affected areas, until Sunday for media usage.

WTF!

People are still posting this story?

Doesn’t anyone read current post before posting new threads.

Not just this issue. Usually find five threads on same thing.

Glad it was posted. First I heard of it. Please, lighten up.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Newby troll, until evidence to the contrary is produced...

Seems like the union thugs are more concerned that these workers will cost them OT dollars than they are about getting NJ customers back on line.

[Badabing Badablonde]

Sad, isn’t it? I grew up in hurricane country. We FED volunteers when they came to help us. Seems common sense that in times of crisis, there is no competition, only colleagues.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Remember driving from Huntsville, Al to Franklin, Ky to get a generator after the terrible tornado outbreak from a couple of years ago. Passed truck after truck after truck going the other direction to help get Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee put back together. It was an exciting sight.

Damned Jersey union thugs.

Katrina: "Where's Bush?"
Sandy:    "Where's the governor?
                  Where's the mayor?"

ROLL TIDE...Nice Home Page ya got there.I’m with ya,come on home boys.When the word of this gets out I want to hear what the people up in NJ and such say.Yall folks up there take care.

[Gabrial]

Saturday and Sunday the temperatures in the affected areas are going to dip into the 30s. The union thugs seem not to care about the people that will freeze to death.

More democrats will have more blood on their hands.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

And we were grateful....and still are! Without power for 5 days, but our area was skimmed around by the tornadoes. Other areas were devastated.
