Unfortunately,
being a non-union electrical company, King has always been on the radar
of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). In fact,
in 2006, he won a significant case against the IBEW at the US Court of
Appeals, after the union had improperly promised his electricians jobs
on union sites if they voted the union into King’s company.

I imagine you've already written the rest of
this story in your head/ If not,
HERE.
Union thugs are a fact of life,
especially in Toledo. But— since the ascension of "street organizer"
Obama, and his use of unions to intimidate voters, and the DOJ's
refusal to prosecute them, they've become quite brazen. Maybe
winning a $ billion dollar lawsuit against the IBEW would temper their
fervor. It worked against the Klan. Or, maybe some "counter
organizing." .

One of two things will happen:
ReplyDelete1. The locals finally have enough, start turning the thugs in and the union shapes up.
2. Business leaves, the city sinks further into the economic cesspool and the union rank and file find they have no jobs. Traveling doesn't help because the word on the street is that they're bad news and shouldn't be allowed to work...even by their own members.
Having grown up in Ohio all I can say is: not unusual.
ReplyDeleteI had family and friends in several different industries and Unions. The stories of thuggery and Soprano-types turned me off to the entire concept.
I knew a young electrical contractor, 25, who turned up dead the day of the Grand Opening of the restaurant where he had just completed the electrical work. The local IBEW had told him not to take the job. His truck was found in his driveway, keys in the ignition. A year later, his body was found 200 yards from the house.
