More unions threatening to walk out on Thanksgiving Eve. Anyone who walks out should be fired and replaced with non-unions.

Terminate union members?  In California?   :lmao:

They're contractors, the fix is to terminate the contract...which is actually what they want, to punish their employer, figuring that the successor contractor will have to take them on in order to resume service as quickly as possible.  In a just world, they'd be in for a rude awakening on that one, but between the unions, the State gubmint Dept. of Labor pukes, and the NLRB, the successor wouldn't be able to get away with just blackballing the rat-bastards that struck.

More unions threatening to walk out on Thanksgiving Eve. Anyone who walks out should be fired and replaced with non-unions.

Agree 100% Thursday is Thanksgiving. I'm not union, and I don't plan on being union EVER if I can help it. Where will I be on Thanksgiving? WORKING!! And working proudly, might I add. Hell, while I'm working, I may just check out FNC on the big TV to find out what's going on out there in loony land with the walkokuts as I stock stuff up, and pas the TV.

Know what I'm missing because of work? My family get together. Am I going to bitch, and moan about it, DUmbshits? No. I'm going to suit up, and go to hell to work. Again...proudly. For a disabled guy like me, I'm LUCKY to be working, and happy to be working. I don't ride every avenue of the govt gravy train as many of you union idiots will, and have aspired to do probably for a while.

Eff all of you. I wish you unionista thugs ill. I wish you all fired the minute you walk into work the next day.

Well said. Do I agree that stores should open on Thanksgiving for Black Friday. No. Tt takes away Thanksgiving and meaning of Christmas.

Those employees should not walk out and should be fired. They should be thankful in tough times.

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

I'm taking this Thanksgiving off, because it might be last chance to do so for quite some time.  Nurses work holidays, and I would much rather have Christmas off than Thanksgiving.  Since I'm still a student and I don't get any pay, let alone holiday pay, the nurse that I'm doing my senior residency with encouraged me to take the day off.  Next year I will likely be joining the Thanksgiving worker's party.

That's a pretty large bright side.  In fact, I really can't see a down side to this, except that we haven't built the wall around Kalifunny yet.

You don't even have to go to that length.  Just build the walls around LA and SF and the rest of the state will be GTG.

On the plane from Baltimore to Chicago last Friday, I sat next to a Navy O-6. Crusty old bastard who drank gin and tonics.

His first comment to me was, "I ****ing live to pay taxes." Turns out he lives in the SF area. I asked him why he lives there among the moonbats and he just shrugged and said, "Hell, they're like dog turds on the street. After awhile, you get used to stepping around them."

I had the sense he was not too happy about the criminal in the WH either. Called him a sonofabitch in a fairly loud tone (it may have been the gin).

He advocated a return to the draft. I expressed my misgivings to that idea, which he politely heard. Then he said, "**** that. Sonsabitches need to get a dog in this fight."

While unassing the plane, I shook his hand and told him it was a pleasure (which it was).

I'd much rather talk to a Navy O-6 than some punkass moonbat hippie from Commiefornia.   :-)

I'm working on Thanksgiving....not once but twice. And since I'm part time, no holiday pay.

Wed night 8pm to 4am on Thanksgiving morning. Then I go back at 8pm until 4am on Friday morning.

In between I will try to get some sleep and also cook Thanksgiving dinner.

Unlike union workers, I'm glad to have a job....or rather a second job.  :(

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

I would have to include SAC into that list though.  That seems to be where the crazy infestation has settled deepest.
