I appreciate the fact that it generally is true that unions are pretty vocal about this type of issue. In this instance at least, the unions have not interjected themselves into this incident.
I’m certainly no fan of unions, but if they want to squeal on any firm that is providing sub-specification work on our infrastructure, they’ve go my blessing.
I want my family, friends and fellow citizens to be safe.
my husband gets a periodic Journal booklet from his union, the BAC, and it’s got the “President’s Address” in english and then spanish on the next page. My husband has seen many a mexican on jobs...I would guess most probably are illegals...
The union I belonged to 4 yrs ago (hotel and hospital employees) participated in the immigration ‘freedom’ ride to DC. I tried telling the older woman that the only ‘immigrants’ who needed the ‘freedom’ ride were illegals who used false documents. She asked me where I heard that, saying they can’t work here without a green card. She was very pro union so I can see why she believed that there was no one working her with false documents. Funny thing about those unions, they get you the pay raises then raise their union dues. went up about 10 bucks in the 3 yrs I was in it. As far as grievances, the only ones they ever finished were for those who really did deserve to get fired. Glad I’m no longer union.
