Union's rat protest upsets Joliet church using scab labor

BY JOE HOSEY Herald-News
The Westminster Presbyterian Church in Joliet has a rat problem: Scabby the Rat.
Angry that the church is using non-union help, Local 11 of the roofer's union has put its infamous inflatable rat -- nicknamed Scabby -- outside the church.
"It's just ugly, and all people are seeing right now is a big yellow rat in front of our church," said the Rev. Matthew Robinson, pastor of the 55-year-old church on Winthrop Avenue.
"Golly, we don't need that. That's not who we are."

The thread is a long and winding mess, but I'm sure some tombstones are being prepared and alert buttons worn out.

Blondeatleast is either a few bites short of a sandwich, or she's a mole trying to play it up.
Here she is, in all her pro-union glory, stating over and over that Jesus most certainly was a union member. If I were a betting woman, I'd put money on her dreaming of Jesus in a Che tshirt, organizing picket lines.
The real kicker, though, is after all her snarky comments about horrible people who don't hand over extortion money to the labor mafia, she makes a disclaimer that right now she's driving a
because she can't afford to buy a new union car. She promises that she'll try next year when finances are better. In reply, Don (NNN0LHI) asks if he knows how much he loves her. What... what? Her magical flowery words of pretending to support unions, while obviously not by buying foreign cars, is lost on most of the rats over there. They are too upset with the evil church to realize what Blondie just said.

This has less to do with non-union workers and more to do with a convenient excuse to bash Christians again, guaranteed.
If it was a mosque, they wouldn't have a thing to say about it, unless it was to praise the mosque-builders "innovation in overcoming financial adversity."

Yep leftists are all for union made goods uless they have to spend more to buy it.

4. That's an improvement -- the Will County Carpenters union used to just torch the buildings under construction by non-u labor.

And they wonder why so many people are anti-union.
