UNION GROVE - Local union members apologized to business owners Thursday after hearing union leadership threatened to boycott businesses.

I wish! they're smart enough to know that something like this reflects badly on them at least.

If anyone does do that please post a screen-capture in the thread about the boycott in the DUmp. I have to work for a few hours and I don't want to miss it.

Oh, you could, it's just that the only kind of work you'd get hired for involves a full hazmat suit, an air-pak, and noxious chemicals for removing many layers of ancient paint.
