I gotta say the "Union Thug" thing is growing on me, I kind of like it. Reminds me of a southerner who's still pi$$ed about getting their a$$es handed to them and calling me a Yank.

I wonder if the Tea Party will accept being called Tea Baggers in the future?

As for the video and this strike, I support their right to picket, good for them if they think it'll change anything, it won't, but act like humans not animals.

Imagine the greedy union, calling a nationwide strike because they're being asked to pay a little more for their own HC and benefits.

They DO NOT garner sympathy from the public.

Verizon Protester Swears in Front of Daughter on Picket Line | Video | TheBlaze.com

Why is it, we consistently see this type of abusive language and behavior from the left and rarely from the right? Do these people really think this type of vulgar bullying behavior helps their cause? It may intimidate a few people at the moment, but with modern day technology keeping us all connected and exposing everything, it only ends up hurting their cause. The effectiveness of Union thuggery is coming to an end.
that man is a poor excuse of a man, he brought his daughter to the picket line to hide behind her like a freakin weakling. But I guess I do feel sorry for his daughter but not because her dad is on strike but because her dad is a jack as!!!

Let's hope they **** off enough customers that they cancel their service and union thugs won't have a job to go back to.

F*ers

Here's an idea.
Give em all 1 day to return to work, then fire and replace them all.

These are the same unions that Obama-Biden cozy up to for their votes. Imagine that, Obama siding with criminals.

Typical union thug, vulgar and has no compunction whatsoever using his daughter.

Poor kid.

Having crossed a picket line (I am management), its often very sad what the members resort too.
