What do you think about the electrical union thugs in New York...?

Good hearted professional electric workers from Alabama drove all the way to New York to help restore power after the disaster, and they were run off by union workers, calling them "scabs" and other obscene names just because they are non-union...as if there was not enough work for everyone.

Update:

This is an example of why life is so much better in Right to Work states.

These selfish goons would rather see their neighbors suffer longer without power than allow additional help in this emergency. They should be run out of town!

    Feel sorry for the residents up there in NYC, Jersey, I don't feel sorry for the slacker union goons who cannot make it on their own and need protections, up to and including the White house, to protect their way of life.

    Obviously the guys down south have a superior skillset and don't need to union protection to provide themselves a living. They are willing to share their skills, help those in need.

    I cannot answer your question only add to it. People are pleading to have their power restored ie, power/gas. These workers are like 1st responders for this crisis. Some people don't do things like New York nor do New Yorkers do things like people from Alabama. These workers were only doing there job and being workers from heaven trying to help a community in need. These THUGS/BULLIES are disgusting. Where are the officials in charge to shut these thugs down? Peoples lives are in the balance waiting for these services.

    It's a union town. Maybe those Alabama scabs should just stay home in their right to work for less state and hope another hurricane puts the hurt on Mobile.

    They are self serving. I feel sorry for the poor people they should be providing service for. Why were they on the picket line and not on the front line to restore service??? They are exposed as true pigs. I feel for the people of NY. This is exposing unions for the animals that they are.
