Union Hires Non-Union Pickets

From New Mexico Watchdog -The workers don’t seem to mind the low wages or a contentious employer that puts them on the street to air someone else’s grievance. They seem to like their $10 an hour jobs – for the most part. Although he understood that he doesn’t have to talk to reporters, a man paid to picket Lovelace Womens Hospital on Montgomery Blvd. in Albuquerque didn’t realize that his job might include appearing in the news. He didn’t want to be photographed holding a banner that said “Shame on Lovelace Health Systems.” After first declining to talk on camera, the man later motioned a videographer back to his end of the sign. On camera, he said he had not been trained to understand rules that govern news photography when he accepted the job as a picket in the nationwide Shame-On campaign.  More News New Mexico

I guess they can also add Michael Moore to the growing list of protesters who prefer NOT to use union labor. Damn! That costs too much. I wonder if there are any Chinese national protesters who would work for even less than $10.00 an hour? Nahhhh, I'm sure even union bosses have a tolerance level for ethical behavior...or do they? But then again, maybe there are some illegal aliens they can pay cash under the table. A lot of them would probably turn out to be registered voters in New Mexico. Now there's a win/win scenario if I ever saw one.
