"We're not condoning the allegations or arguing that union officials are completely immune from prosecution," said Jonathan D. Newman, a lawyer for the AFL-CIO. "Instead, we simply want to make sure that the [federal law] is not interpreted in a way that could have a chilling effect on legitimate union activity."
Stabbing someone in the neck and destroying company property is a "legitimate union activity"?

Seems as though physical assault with a deadly weapon and property destruction are exactly what Jimmy Hoffa Jr. instructed. He should be arrested as an accessory to attempted murder.

spoken like a true moonbat with no understanding of what right-to-work laws are and who believes that assault and threat of violence is OK as long as it's directed toward the evil fat cats

Damn! I wish my union were this tough. Well, maybe not exactly like this...

"So look for the union label" and buy the other product. Don't want to contribute to organized crime.

Just shop to your hearts content at Wallyworld and you'll be happy as can be supporting your Third World sweatshops.

I wonder why rightwingers hate the poor and middle class, especially when so many of them belong to one or the other.

Your mentality is not far apart from the starving North Korean who cries tears of joy seeing Kim Jong Il. Such is the power of propaganda.
