Wow .. when Obama said that he wanted to fundamentally change this nation, he wasn't kidding .. it's too bad that it's all ending up being a change for the worse.

Isn't America great. What a great time to be alive to watch unions sign, seal and deliver their own destruction. The end of an era.

And all of these idiots should be fired for not going to work.

With the Obama economy as bad as it is how do these people take time off of work to strike and disrupt things in our streets like this?

Every single union members who calls in sick or does not show up for work should be automatically fired and their benefits taken away for breaching their contracts.

I'm hoping they'll be outnumbered by the taxpayers who have to foot the bill for their bennies!

The unions were quickly becoming irrelevant anyway. When this is over, the average American will think of public union employees the same way they think of career welfare queens.

Yeah but these wittle sheeple have been drinking way too much kook-aid and they will follow the sheepherder over a cliff, if he so tells them to. Very sad indeed.

And yes they are a spoiled bunch, selfish, trouble makers, and rant all they want.

You have strange fantasies. Why do you hate working people? Say this on the mccain trail too. Maybe it's time to reconsider the electoral college.
