Unions Pick at Scabs / Democrats Reward Unions

Picking at a scab just makes it last longer on the skin. Picking at a "scab" can make him determined to stay longer on the job. Wounds must heal rather than be aggravated.

(Emphasis mine) Labor problems at The Toledo Blade in Ohio hit a new level with a replacement worker (Pete Thayer) relating that his car was intentionally torched last night while he was on the job.... Larry Vellequette, a spokesman for the Toledo Council of Newspaper Unions, denied that any of his members played a role in the incident... "I'm pretty sure it wasn't us," he told E&P.

...Someone had spraypainted the word "scab" in black and thrown a cinder block through the driver's side window. "Thayer tells us he thinks this is a scare tactic and it will not prevent him from showing up for work." ....

Well, I suppose that there's a chance of that specific type of car destruction happening anywhere and having nothing to do with the union's strike. At least, that's what I would conclude if a goon was standing over me.

If someone wants the same job as the strikers and is willing to work for wages agreeable to both himself and the employer, shouldn't he be able to do that without intimindation and without laws working against him?

Disagreeing, the Democrats are figuratively tossing bricks into the lives of honest workers with their new bill that will eliminate secret ballots in union votes. It's pretty tough to vote your conscience and wishes when some union thug is standing there watching you fill out the ballot so that he can take it from you and check your vote.

In their typical fashion, the Democrats violate truth in advertising by misnaming the bill "Employee Free Choice Act." If you express your free choice and it's not the one they want, expect the union to act against you.

This is clearly a union pay-off for Democratic support, and neither one is caring about "working families."
