While he's occasionally fun to listen to, he's really an impotent windbag.
Despite the IBEW’s statement to the contrary, as well as Chris
Christie’s assurances that non-union workers are welcome, it appears the
IBEW throughout the New Jersey and New York areas are attempting to
make sure that non-union crews become unionized before being allowed to
assist in recovery efforts.
“I’ve been on the phone with PSE&G [Public Service Electric and Gas
Company], JCP&L [Jersey Central Power & Light] and the union,
and they’ve all absolutely promised me they would never turn away a
single worker whether they were union or nonunion, and I wouldn’t allow
it,” Christie told reporters
Bullshit, Chris.
A business coordinator at a power company in western Georgia told The
Daily Caller Friday afternoon that workers from his electric-utility
employer were not permitted to help restore power to New York consumers
because they would not join the International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers (IBEW). --Daily Caller via RedStates
Whaddya 'spect from New Joisey, anyhow? Straight-shootin'?
So our local non-union power company sent some crews up to the north, they ended up in Delaware. The supervising folks showed them to an area where there were 5 poles down, told them it would take until Monday. They got all 5 up in one day....
ReplyDeleteUnions suck.
Screw em. If the population of those states want to allow that crap, fine. They can do without the help of non-union workers. Man, I hate unions. Severely.
