It’s the hypocrisy, stupid

Someone did a little digging, and discovered that the NFL itself did not recognize the holiday, and did not give its employees the day off.Personally, I have little truck with unions. They once were valuable institutions, and brought about many great changes — ones that benefited everyone.
But that was a long, long time ago. These days, most unions are essentially extensions of the Democratic Party, organized crime (sometimes the two are interchangeable), and tend to have little concern for their rank and file members. For example, union money has been spent heavily to back “immigrants’ rights” and other pro-illegal-alien measures, despite that it is the union’s members that tend to suffer most from the economic damage they wreak.
So it was with no little glee that I read Kevin’s piece about a union outsourcing its’ picketing duties. (FUNNY!)
It’s nothing new. A while ago, it was revealed that one union had hired temps to hired people to picket Wal-Mart — with the picketers working for far less than what Wal-Mart was offering, and what the union thought was unacceptable. And the conditions for the picketers were downright heinous.
