Michael Moore used some non-union crewmembers when union workers were available in the production of his latest film "Capitalism: A Love Story," a documentary that argues the capitalist system allows for greedy corporations to exploit working-class people.
"For all of the different jobs on the movie that could have used union labor, he used union labor, except for one job, the stagehands, represented by IATSE," said a labor source unauthorized to talk about Moore's decision not to hire members of The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.
In a statement issued to ABCNews.com, Moore's agent, Ari Emanuel, said the filmmaker wished the union included more documentary crew people -- but he did not deny that IATSE members were snubbed in favor of non-union employees.

Much of his newest film also focuses on union workers. The highlight of "Capitalism: A Love Story" concentrates on the successful six-day sit-in by 240 employees of Republic Windows and Doors in Chicago earlier this year.
Moore's film crew had the only cameras allowed inside the building during the sit-in, which culminated in a $1.35 million severance package from Bank of America. Moore screened the film to Republic employees last week.
After being criticized for using non-union extras in a 2000 music video he shot for the rock band Rage Against the Machine, Moore told the New York Post that he only learned they were hired after the video was completed.

It’s a liberal thing. They may be stupid but they’ll do whatever it takes to hold on to as much of their money as they can.
A classic example of why liberalism in the real world never works.
Government Unions (public sector unions) have to go. It is unconstitutional that these unions have been given the right to by-pass our elected legislatures and organize against the taxpayers (their bosses who have to foot the bill for their wages and benefits)
Wisconsin is standing in the gap!

Trying to avoid a Constitutional crisis in Wisconsin. What’s going on is much more than what you think. It’s no more just about “the budget”.
MUST LISTEN ALL THE WAY TO THE END to this attorney (Troupis) working with Scott Walker:

Senate orders arrest of missing Democrats
Senate Republicans Thursday ordered the forcible detention of their 14 Democratic colleagues, who fled the state two weeks ago to avoid a vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial budget repair bill...
...[Attorney] Troupis insisted the detention is not an arrest because the senators are not suspected of any crimes. Rather, he said, the resolution seeks to enforce a legislative process.
Link to news article here...
Longtime Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, said it was “below the dignity of the state Senate to be spending its time passing such resolutions.”
Some police - many of whom have marched alongside protesters against Walker’s plan to effectively end collective bargaining for public workers - have already objected to the arrest resolution.
Moore is the most shameless huckster since PT Barnumn.
He wears the 3 day old beard stubble and the ball cap while living in a penthouse in Manhattans upper west side
Fat cat.
“It’s a liberal thing. They may be stupid but they’ll do whatever it takes to hold on to as much of their money as they can.”
And sadly, the drones lap it all up without ever once pondering the contradictions.
"Rules are for the little guys!"
Michael Moore is a “greedy corporation” unto himself. Hypocrite.
I’ve heard of unions refusing to let their union office employees unionize.
Gotta watch Team America again soon.
Hard to believe that in his youth he made Eagle Scout rank. Too bad we can’t recall that Scout Rank.
It’s pretty common for Hollywood liberals to Union Bust.
Many productions have moved to Hollywood North.

Liberal: Do as I say, not as I do
Liberal: Its okay to steal from others, just not from me
Liberal: You show compassion by using other people’s money
This hypocrite again. Have another chesseburger, Mikey.
The far lefts hypocrisy is just breath taking. It’s so in your face that you have to believe these people are deluded, mentally ill, evil or all of those things.
“Hi, I’m Michael Moore and I hire scabs.”

The first link is a MUST HEAR!
Michael Moore makes water buffalo seem like polite company.
