The Unions, I guess. Those are slowly fading though, so he may have no reason to live soon.

If the public unions strike, is PATCO not too far behind?

As long as the public unions aren't responsible for public safety; i.e., police and fire, they can strike.

Frankly, I say let them.

Curse that General Strike ! Him and his buddy Marshall Law keep failing to show up to the DUmmie parties.

We really need to send them to Corporal Punishment to learn em how to behave.

This campfire was the subject of a P-J Comix DUmmie FUnnies edition.

Our esteemed colleague Ballygrl screen-captured that comment.

I was reading DUmmie FUnnies before stopping in here to see what's new.
Busted a gut when I saw that comment from the DUmmie primative.

And other than the unions, how many people are actually going to "generally strike"?  A handful at best.  The rest of us non-union folks will keep on working with the pay and benefits that we collectively bargained OURSELVES.  Suck it DUmmies.  Suck it long and hard.

I'm seriously considering taking some PTO to watch some college basketball this afternoon.  For you lurking DUmmies, that means PAID TIME OFF.

I believe that union members vote about 50/50 donk GOP. It is only the union Dons and Cappos that give their extorted dues to the democrat party 98%.

The general strike would have those 50% plus alot more that might be concerned about being asked to stay on next year. at most 35% will go out on a strike in the PEUs and it would give them even more of a bad reputation in the regular Joe on the street.
