Union's rat protest upsets Joliet church using scab labor
   
http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/2906278,CST-NWS-ratc...

November 19, 2010

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

NON-UNION 1999 CAMRY

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.

32. They are scabs.
   
Scabs aren't working-class. Scabs are filth.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

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."

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

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.
