Local Union Leader Resigns Over Boy Scout Flap
wfmz-tv news ^ | 11-20-2009

Posted on 11/20/2009 7:18:45 PM PST by Mount Athos

A brouhaha over a Boy Scout and his Eagle Scout project has brought down a local union leader. Nick Balzano has stepped down as head of the local Service Employees International Union. Balzano was roundly criticized for crying foul over a Boy Scout's effort to clear a walking path in a park in Allentown. He said the project was taking work away from union workers. Six other high-ranking members of the union have also resigned.

At least one brain cell was still firing. This union-loser did the right thing. Now if he would just hide in his basement forever.

My father always referred to unions as “The Great Society For The Advancement Of Mediocrity”.

Tell me, Did they apologizes? If not then as far as I am concerned it is not over yet.

Sounds phony to me. Why would they give up their livelihood over a flap like that. I can see to dodohead, but the other 6? Sounds odd.

You expect an apology from a “Progressive” to an evil bigoted Boy Scout. Surely you jest. < / sarc

Leader plus 6 other high ranking members resigned. That's impressive. The eagle scout is the least of their worries right now.

This is from Biggovernment.com Whistleblower Video Reveals SEIU Ballot Fraud.

You win a cookie...

International is where you go after you’ve pissed off the entire local...

This is SEIU though...lyin purple people beaters...

It was a rediculous claim in the first place...they should have lauded the youth for volunteering...

Idiots.

Why didn't the SEIU thugs just beat the Scout to a pulp?

Isn't that the normal solution in their Union Thug Manual?
