Non-union Alabama crews turned away from Sandy recovery

Via Craig

Figures.  We have nothing in common.*

*A meddling Yankee troubles himself with everybody's matters but his own and repents of everybody's sins except his own. We are a different people. 

==========================
 

The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews learned they'll be doing work in Long Island, New York instead of in New Jersey.

Crews from Decatur Utilities headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can't do any work there since they're not union employees.

The crews that are in Roanoke, Virginia say they are just watching and waiting even though they originally received a call asking for help from Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
Understandably, Moore said they're frustrated being told "thanks, but no thanks.

  1. New Yorkers are idiots. Picking through trash because they couldn't be bothered to store food? Not getting out of the way of a massive storm? Demanding help after choosing helplessness? Refusing help because some goon says it's not the right kind of help?

    In truth, there are some good, decent, smart Yankees. I've met a few. I was baptized by one. But morons like those deserve neither sympathy nor help.

  3. Unionism, according to this early champion of socialism, “depends on mere force and would not allow other workers to come into the market at any price.” “It matters not, whether that force . . . be the gift of law or whether it be assumed by the tradesmen in spite of the law; it is equally mere force.” Union force together with government regulation manage “to keep up the remuneration of the few within the circle of the combination.” Their gains are always “at the expense of the equal right of the industrious to acquire skill and to exchange their labour where and how they may.”[

    Unionists are practically free now to inflict bodily harm on strikebreakers and businessmen who employ strikebreakers. They are free to destroy their property and even harm customers who patronize those businesses. The police will not arrest the offenders, the state attorneys will not prosecute, and the courts will not pass judgment on such union actions. While the lawlessness in labor relations may inflict serious losses on employers, it primarily hurts the interests of fellow workers and the public consisting mainly of workers
