Capitol Chaos: Union Upset Over Letter

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

The stunning development happened late Thursday afternoon at Village Dollar, where members with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees showed their support to businesses that were targeted.

It all started after Dawn Bobo, owner of Village Dollar in Union Grove, refused to put up a sign supporting AFSCME.

I expect those union members will cancel their membership in protest.

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.
