Devil Rays prospect throws bat at plate umpire

[Kaliix]

All you did was show that the union cares about the union by only going with union shops. You proved my point! They don't care about anyone but themselves, the union.

You still haven't answered how you or the union have any right to tell anyone where or how they should work? Why the heck should anyone support your union when you would have nothing to do with anyone who is non-union? (you proved that point yourself with the we only try to use union work when we can AFL-CIO tangent)

You have no way of knowing what would have happened if they couldn't find enough umpires. Even if they shut down some or all of the games, those people are now out of work because of the union! Maybe a labor agreement is reached quickly and maybe it takes weeks or months. So how exactly do you care about them not getting paid when all that works itself out?

If unions have a right to work/strike/negotiate then so does everyone else. Yet you want to usurp the right of any worker who is not a "union" member to earn a paycheck doing whatever job he can doget in what still is a free country. Explain how your degradation of the replacement umpires by calling them scabs works then? They don't have the right to work if you won't?

For the record, I am not totally against unions either. Unions have their place and I have benefited from them being in the work place.

However, everything you have brought to light so far could be said of the same thing of PBUC toward their employees.

I am not being brainwashed. I have just witnessed the way it works for many years from both sides.

It's not like any strike that ever taken place hasn't affected some one who wasn't directly involved.

So my advice to you is, you can either support the cause or you cannot support the cause. However, if you support the cause these little people who say are getting the shaft would be working with or without the "SCABS".

No "scabs" PBUC caves in and the people work. With "scabs" the games go on and the people work.

As long as we're on the subject, can you tell me why as me myself as one of the little people are having to now pay these outrageous gas prices? I don't think that's fair either. Hey, but what ya' gonna do?
