Volunteer crews who came to help restore power were allegedly told to leave because they are not union workers, according to a report.
Several utility crews from Alabama who arrived in New Jersey to help restore power following Hurricane Sandy were allegedly told to leave because they are not union workers, according to a Huntsville news station.
WAFF.com reports crews with Hunstville Utilities and Joe Wheeler Electrical Membership Cooperative made their way to Seaside Heights, New Jersey this week to help get power back on for thousands of residents left in the dark. But the groups were told by crews in New Jersey that they cannot do any work because they are non-union employees, according to the report.

Exactly. I guess they don’t want any non-union money or supplies.
Drop dead union thugs. I hope you suffer.
After Christie serviced the One yesterday, I wonder if Alabama crews being turned away will make him mad??!!
I heard a clip today of some union thugs who were yelling at the guys from Alabama. They were screaming that the Alabamans were interfering with their jobs. If they have jobs, why they weren’t working at restoring power instead of maligning men who’ve come a long way to help?
When I worked for a county, I refused to contribute dues to the Public Employee Union; I also refused their alternative : contribute to a charity of THEIR choice.
I waited 8 years to receive the form to contribute to the charity of MY choice.
Ha ha ha ha!
Now retired, and still waiting.
