I faced union thugs when I was young, and because I was young and foolish I backed down. I faced union thugs again many times once I was older, and I have never again backed down in the face of bullies. Sometimes I wonder whether I am overreacting to the tone set by obama and his minions, but if it looks like a thug, acts like a thug, threatens like a thug, and strikes those who oppose it like a thug ... Nope, I’m not overreacting. We are facing pure evil, a power grab by those who want to control their neighbors. We must not back down. Ever.
My brother, who lives in NY, has been threatened by union thugs. He has a family, so I would not encourage him to take any unnecessary risks. But he has stood up to them and refused to be intimidated.
Be careful which union leaders you don't back down against!
I had a labor union BA back me up against a wall with a snub nose 38 when I challenged him.
He was a real bad actor, Jitterbug Jackson, he was the treasurer of local 300, Los Angeles, and stole the unions funds. 4 years later he returned and was elected president of the union.
