KRON: Construction workers at the Solyndra Plant in Fremont will be spending the day at home Wednesday without pay as President Obama visits the company to praise its work on solar panels.
Union workers have been told not to come back until Thursday because of security concerns associated with the President's visit. Workers tell KRON 4's Kate Thompson this day off means they won't get paid.

A couple months ago, when Obama went to Cape Canaveral to "mend fences" with NASA, it was reported here in FR that workers were like wise told to stay away from "His" route and presence on site.
What is he afraid of?

I only wish I could have seen the looks on the faces of the solar workers who voted for BO when they found out.

I don’t know the specifics of the union contract, but I am guessing this screws them out of any potential OT this week, as well.

Obamah afraid of Violence from Union employees?
To: TexasCajun
No no, to be there they have to produce government issued IDs, most illegals work in construction....do the math. What would happen if Obama was found to be in the presence of illegal aliens?

The way that it was told to Rush today, NON-union workers were told to stay home without pay because of security issues. Union workers were told to show up. Don’t know whether this article or the the caller to Rush is correct.

The company is probably protecting illegals from the Secret Service’s pre-visit investigation.
To: DallasDeb
This would be an important point to clarify!!!!
