Unions spent tens of millions of dollars to prove to all Californians that they fight for regular people. Working class people like nurses, firefighters and teachers.
The city of Los Angeles’ Union of Engineers and Architects proved the point by staging a protest at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). I’m sure the sight of protesters and the watching cops warmed the hearts of the working people that had to get back to LA after spending Thanksgiving somewhere else. Read it here.
I’m sure the returning passengers couldn’t understand why the protesters had worked 17 months with out a contract. Poor devils.
The Daily News reminded us in an editorial that Los Angeles has the highest paid city workers in the nation. But the passengers, I’m sure remembered that the DWP in the city had a huge 28% increase over five years and that these fine fellows deserved a similiar raise as well.
Unions are our friends and proved it by jamming LAX on one of the busiest days of the year. No one should have to work under such horrible conditions that they have in LA.
Where is Villagarosia when the working people need him?
