I just watched a video of one of our non-union crews working in Manhattan, doesn't look like NY or NYC Con-Ed had any problems with non-union workers.

This isn't a thread or forum for a detailed debate on such things. I made post #116 to say many have different opinions to those that were being sounded.
Regarding workers rejecting unions and getting greater benefits, those workers are still benefiting from union won conditions. A boss can't expect to pay less than union conditions or the staff will then join a union. I'm sure we have our entrenched views on this subject and debate is probably counterproductive.
All we really sounded was that non-union help in a disaster area was refused while people needed urgent relief. We're just flabbergasted by that.

Correct....it seems that only happened in New Jersey.

It was not intended to be a debate on unions. It was simply pointing out that in an emergency, if you care about the victims of a disaster, you waive normal work rules to get relief to the victims. New York also has union work rules; but apparently they do not apply in emergency situations. NJ refused to waive their work rules - at the expense of those without power. Here in my state, work rules are waived during disaster relief to include weight limits on highways. The idea is to get the job done and relieve suffering. NJ put politics over the needs of the victims.

No problem, my friend.
Speaking of NYC Mayor Bloomberg who wouldn't allow the National Guard into NYC......I just heard on the radio some talk show host reading a story from the NY Post about how Bloomberg also banned people from giving food items to hurricane victims because there is no way for them to regulate the calories and sodium content in donated food items.
I guess this is an extension of his earlier ban on giving food to homeless people under the same guise.
Lol....I guess in his mind it is better to starve than eat too many calories or too much salt!?

I will never understand the nanny government mindset.
I think that is a classic case of some politicians being too far removed from reality
They have absolutely no idea how it is for mere mortals.

Yeah but the way it works your side is if someone now has to have some type of reaction to eating too much of a particular substance contained in the food then they will take the Mayor and city for all they can. So yes rather let them stave to death than put yourself or the city at risk
The people get what they ask for by the looks of it
I asked for a foot long chili cheese dog onion rings and a 32 oz. coke.....I got higher taxes so a new department of government could be started to monitor how many foot long chili cheese dogs onion rings and 32 oz cokes I should be allowed to have at a safe level (if at all).
Not really what I asked for........
