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

That's where the more egregious crimes are committed.

The legislature should all be jailed -- every damned one of them. And the governor -- Jerry Brown and his last 3 predecessors -- need to be put in solitary confinement for sheer stupidity.

Look on the bright side: California  DUmmies can't get back to fly over country to ruin family meals.

True. I think it shows how ungrateful these people are in these tough times.

Let them shut down LAX. Please. Let them do it to "get public support" for their cause(s).

Happy Thanksgiving: Unions Shut Down Traffic to LAX
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/11/20/Thanksgiving-LAX-shutdown-union

Quote
Ready to fly out of Los Angeles today to get to your family before Thanksgiving? Not so fast. Los Angeles’ labor unions have decided to protest on Thanksgiving Eve – one of the busiest travel days of the year – to snarl traffic around Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). President Obama’s favorite union, the Service Employees International Union, is spearheading the obnoxious effort; it’s supposed to last from 11 a.m to 4 p.m., virtually the entire day. The LAPD says that travellers should arrive 90 minutes earlier than usual. LAX already advises people to arrive two hours in advance.

While the objectives of most strikes are to inconvenience the company they have a grievance with, these seiu turds are trying to inconvenience the traveling public.  Many of the strikers will be bussed in and don't even have a dog in the hunt other than they like to be a pain in the public's collective ass.  I'm hoping the traveling public doesn't show any sympathy for these idiots and turns more people off to the idea of unions and their childish tactics.

What would a striker blocking the take off of a 747 look like after he/she was sucked through one of the engines?....well done hamburger?.....Mississippi delta dust?

The same is true of the people protesting at Walmart.  Sure it might hurt Walmart's bottom line, but it won't help with people's impressions of unions any.

This is for those crying about having to work the holidays.

Be very careful if you don't work, if a family member has a stroke or your child falls out of a tree and the Union is on strike , no Ambulance.  Drive them your self to the ER to find the Nurses union is on strike.  The Union for the hospital workers food department goes on strike, who is to feed the patients ???

 You need pain medication Stat because the dog ate your pills and the drug stores are closed due to workers that demand time with their family's.

Your neighbor sets their house on fire deep fat frying a turkey, but most of the fire department is on leave or strike and the cinders are blowing your way.

You see how it is, Liberals expect others to gladly give up time to be with their family's but expect others to do so for their benefit. Power goes out, few think of the lines men working in a snow storm away from their family's so other can get power.    


I cannot begin to count the birthdays, Christmases and new years that my kids missed without their father or me around.  We just postponed everything and had the Hollidays in July.  Yes one year we kept the tree up for months waiting for Daddy to come home.

I get outside myself when I hear someone crying about their working conditions, YOU made the choice of where to work, knew the salary and benefits if any, be you working in a coal mine or at a 24 hour service station.  

Priorties here, you demanding things from your employer and walking out, or seeing there is food and a roof over the kids heads for the next year ??????

From what I'm hearing on the news, SEIU is protesting at LAX because the workers there voted to decertify the union.  Their beef isn't with the company but with the former union members that wanted out of the union.

The logic escapes me. SEIU has a problem with former union members that wanted out of the union, so they're going to disrupt the entire f'en airport and the passengers just trying to get somewhere?

Does that make sense to you?

That is correct.  I heard an interview this morning with the regional VP of Aviation Safeguards.  He verified that the workforce overwhelmingly decertified the union and it is seiu members who do not work for AVSG who are protesting.  He said his company offered employees time off to participate in the protest and only 3 asked to be able to attend.
