Billy Raye, a 51-year-old unemployed bike courier, is looking for workOkay, so you're complaining that non-union labor is hired, so to picket you hire.. Non-union labor?
.
Fortunately for him, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters is seeking paid demonstrators to march and chant in its current picket line outside the McPherson Building, an office complex here where the council says work is being done with nonunion labor.
Some days, the material just writes itself doesn't it?
So why aren't the union guys out there protesting? I mean it is a union protest, right?
"For a lot of our members, it's really difficult to have them come out, either because of parking or something else," explains Vincente Garcia, a union representative who is supervising the picketing.Why? Is there a No-Union parking sign or something there? Although I'm thinking you could make a fortune on those, if you think about it.
So the unions are now paying their non-union members (btw.. do they have to give involuntary dues?) to do work that their union guys won't do....
Wait a minute, I thought that when big companies paid less money to non-Union members, that's what Unions were supposed to stop, not propagate?
