Democrats Vote to Exclude Non-Union Construction Workers for Hurricane Sandy Work
FoxNation ^ | 1/18/13 | Labor Union Report

A bill that was authored by an Ironworkers’ union organizer to expand union-only Project Labor Agreements–to include Hurricane Sandy cleanup and reconstruction–passed the New Jersey Senate on Monday along party lines 23-13.

The Ironworkers’ union organizer who drafted the pro-union bill, Steven Sweeney, also happens to be the president of the New Jersey Senate and recently accused New Jersey Governor Chris Christie of “praying” for Hurricane Sandy to hit New Jersey.

As it turns out, though, unions must be counting their blessing with the New Jersey’s Senate passage of S. 2425 which adds to an already-existing discriminatory PLA laws in New Jersey:

They don't deserve one fu(#ing cent of taxpayer funds.

They are discriminating.

When will a state pass a bill that pays for disaster relief -- but excludes any of the money going to any union members?

Would that be a terrible thing that would elicit much national outrage?

The FOOL republicans in the congress who passed Sandy Relief should have saw this coming and made it a condition that all work is open to ALL companies (union and non-union)

All funds for the New Jersey clean-up should come out of Christie’s monthly food budget.

To all:

You might want to pay close attention to your auto insurance bill.

My wife brought to my attention that our latest auto insurance bill includes a $2 increase to be used for this relief effort. Now that just P.O.s me to no end. I told her to pay the bill minus the $2.

I dare them to give me a hard time about it.

And we taxpayers in other States have to pay for it. Too bad our representatives can’t (won’t) do something to ensure our money is spent wisely when these relief fund bills come up.
