If you think union thugs have no protections, you haven't been on site at many violent strikes. I support the police as strongly as anyone, but when it comes to union thugs, many police officers revert to their organized labor side. In multiple cases, I've personally watched union hooligans demolish private automobiles, threaten people with deadly weapons, and destroy private property, all the while being protected from interference by unionized police officers. Never assume that union thugs will be deterred by the presence of law enforcement. They are the only species of criminal that is often given a pass by police officers. I'm not saying it happens all the time, but it most certainly happens.
And that my friend is why I never joined a union....organized criminals.
Not all maybe but to many in the crowd were. I don't go for destroying peoples property.
