WI Unions sending letters to businesses: Put a Union Support sign in the window or be boycotted.  
 Edited on Thu Mar-31-11 01:14 AM by Snoutport
OOOOOOoooooh... finally some hard ball from the Unions. I love it!!!

Here is a bit of the article:

"Members of Wisconsin State Employees Union, AFSCME Council 24, have begun circulating letters to businesses in southeast Wisconsin, asking them to support workers’ rights by putting up a sign in their windows.

If businesses fail to comply, the letter says, “Failure to do so will leave us no choice but (to) do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means 'no' to those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union members."

4. It is OK to ask who your friend is and to give them the benefit of your business. 
 That's just good old fashioned business sense. If you don't support the Union, really you shouldn't want to take that dirty Union money. (sarcasm)

OK ****tard, how's this...

I don't want your union money but here's the kicker: these are public employees so it's really my money.

If you don't like my business stop taking my money with your taxes then refusing to render the services that I, a free citizen, chartered with my consent.

When do we get to boycott unions?

Sorry dipshits, but boycott of our businesses that don't tow YOUR line of thinking is a DIRECT spit in the face of the Wisconsin economy. Shame on you bastards! I will be giving my business to the businesses who DO NOT have your crappy little signs in their windows, thank you very much.

If I were the business owner, I'd tell them to shove the sign up their ass. Sideways. In no uncertain terms. Whether I supported the union or not, no one would tell me what kind of signs I have to have in my store or who I have to publicly support. If it meant I had to lose a few dollars, so be it.

But that's just how I roll. It's that whole "freedom' and "rugged individualist" thing I just can't shake. Some pencil-necked asshole telling me I have to jump aboard their train or face the consequences, well, just makes me bristle. I think it would most Americans, too.

Keep in mind that you're paying for a service with that money.  Your taxes pay for a lot of things you take for advantage.   I get attacking the unions, but attack the public employees and you'll lose the war.

Quote
I think most businesses that the union thugs want to boycott will see a huge increase in business because people that are just sick and tired of these lazy union hacks will make a concerted effort to patronize these businesses. Again thanks a million union thugs! Because of your ridiculous tactics you have been exposed as the horrible human beings you are, you will increase the patronage of businesses you intended to harm, and you elevated Gov Walker to superstardom.

and

Quote
Union Now,

Wow, you just don't get it! 5.2 Million Wisconsinites, with 7% Union Employment = 399,000 plus 170,000 Givernment Union Employees = 569,000 Union Employees. This is a whopping 11% of the residents of the State.

In other words, your ability to hurt or help any business is 11% of thier bottom line. Not going to hurt any business that has a Value Proposition that it's customers value.

Just perusing the 530 comments, it looks like this may backfire badly.

Here's another exchange:  Look at this DUmmy, named UnionNow:

It's about time you stupid business owners go broke!

Either you are smart and support your union workers, or you are stupid like
Bobo and you will go broke for not. It's that simple! I don't want to
participate is a non answer, taken as a no! Get used to it! This is the way
things will be for now on! It's about time you businesses paid up!!

Quote
Those business you are boycotting create the wealth that fills the tax pool from which your salary and benefits are paid. You in the public sector on the other hand don't create any new wealth at all, so without those businesses paying into the tax pool your job doesn't exist. Don't bite the hand that feeds you or you'll starve. Idiots.

Labor unions do not engage in things as gentle as boycotts. That is just political and legal cover. When they issued the "sign in the window" threat, they mentioned a boycott, but to anyone who has had actual dealings with unions, the real message concerned broken glass, damaged vehicles, and ultimately fire. There is not a whit of difference between the administration of a labor union and Alphonse Capone in his prime.

114. Or to frame it another way, it's time to find out who our friends are and who the SCABS are! n/t

Uh oh, is the DU aware that the bullying tactics backfired? and that union members are angry about those tactics? this was said by a union member:

http://www.620wtmj.com/news/local/119031454.html

Quote
Even some local AFSCME union members called the threats "thuggish".

"The statements and threats made by Jim Parrett do not represent everyone in the local, we didn't support it," said Paul Baumester, a member of AFSCME, Local 3777.

He and several other union members shook hands with Bobo Thursday afternoon and apologized to her and other businesses for the threats. They claim they were never consulted about the letters.

Baumester says he's still against Governor Walker's budget proposals, but he believes the threats are exactly the wrong thing to do.

"Right when we think we might be making some headway here, we lose ground in the public eye," he said.

Why don't the Union thugs just go old school and start hanging the Star of David in the windows of those businesses that don't support them so they know which ones to ransack and burn down later like the little brown shirts they are?
