Harass rap vs. union

Workers at a downtown hotel charge that union goons resorted to outrageous tactics to browbeat them into joining their ranks — going so far as to photograph a female staffer as she changed clothes in an employee locker room, apparently to blackmail her.

“I was wearing my uniform pants and my bra and holding my shirt to put it on when they started snapping pictures,” front-desk worker Gisel Rodriguez, 28, recalled of the alleged sneak attack at the SoHo Courtyard Marriott in December.

“I was furious, really didn’t know what to do,’’ she said. “They said, ‘We’re allowed to be here,’ and clicked away.”

Union spokesman John Turchiano blasted the charges as “bogus and laughable.”

“I’m 100 percent confident the [NLRB] will throw out the charges. Any of our hundreds of members who know the organizers involved here know how absurd these charges are,’’ he said.



Unions NEVER engage in thuggery and intimidation...NEVER...it's ABSURD....

Why would ANYBODY want to be a part of such an organization, other than to join in on the corruption.

The funds raised in these FReepathons go to pay our current quarter expenses. But we're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little extra now, if we can, and the rest next quarter.

If O’bammy gets a second term we can look forward to all the traditional Union thuggery returning.

My grandfather fled IL to get away from them, he related what went on to me.

Acid Facials, sudden fires, lots of people falling down stairs and elevator shafts, cut brake lines, plain old severe beatings, and if all else failed, Murder.

My philosophy is to always look for the Union Label, if you find one, buy another product instead!
