Many union officials have ordered or approved of violent, coercive, and harassing conduct aimed at making an example of employees who don't toe the union line. The National Institute for Labor Relations Research has compiled a list of incidents of of union violence that average nearly 300 per year for the last 30 years. The following cases are just a few examples:

		1) West Virginia miner shot dead for working during a strike On the orders of the United Mine Workers (UMW), 16,000 miners went on strike in 1993. One subcontractor, Eddie York (who was not a UMW member), decided it was important to support his wife and three children and crossed picket lines to get to his job. He was shot in the head as he left the job site to go home. UMW President Richard Trumka (now Secretary-Treasurer at the AFL-CIO) told The Washington Times that "if you strike a match and put your finger in, common sense tells you you're going to burn your finger." UMW strike captain Jerry Dale Lowe was found guilty of weapons charges and conspiracy in York's death, and York's widow Wanda sued the union for her husband's wrongful death. The UMW fought the lawsuit for four years, but settled with Wanda York only two days after federal prosecutors announced that they would share evidence from the criminal trial with York's attorneys.

		2) Virginia women targeted for working during a strike In 1996, when the United Auto Workers Local 149 called a strike against Abex Friction Products in Winchester, VA, several of the workers decided they needed their paychecks and crossed the picket lines to work. They were targeted for harassment and intimidation. In one instance, an employee who crossed the picket line found a severed cow's head placed on the hood of her car. Later, someone made up a photograph with her face superimposed over the dead cow's head and mailed it to her. The union paid a substantial settlement to six women for its members' harassment of them.

Isolated incident? Representative of all people fighting for their rights.

Only in EpicFailWorld.

For instance, while the Institute has recorded 8,799 incidents of union violence since 1975, only 1,963 arrests and 258 convictions have been found. It is difficult to believe that local news media who covered the violence resulting from a strike would not follow up on any subsequent legal action. Thus, it appears that of the violent incidents recorded in the Institute’s Data File, barely three percent of those incidents have led to an arrest and conviction.

Do the math. Over a 36 year period, they've documented 8799 events of violence by union members that were related to labor issues. That's 244 per year or one every .66 days. Isolated? Mmm, not looking that way.

Aren't you the one always saying "Well, you didn't define 'rich'!"? They didn't define "events of violence." I'd like to know what that means. If it runs the gamut from words to actions, it changes things significantly.

Gee, this is the second thread EpicSpamSlinger has started to "catapult the propaganda" (read: spread the word re: the agent provocateurs the anti-democracy/pro-corporatocracy right historically plants at these rallies) for his billionaire masters.

Wonder if EpicSpamSlinger is getting a stipend from the Koch brothers?

It's common knowledge that unions will use violence. Like that is news. They actually take pride in that fact.

The funniest thing about all this...the dems tried to create this narrative through their news outlets that the Tea Party were all a bunch of crazy violent people.

Then what do they do when they put together their trumped up astro turf populism movement? They bring out a bunch of union thugs!

Its like they're trying to make Glenn Beck right.

No one had to "create a narrative" - the proof that tea baggers were crazy and violent was daily news.

You come to this forum to try to create a narrative. Its all your strategists ever talk about. Generic liberal DNC schlub: "Oh no! there's a narrative that exists outside of our control! We better use the next tragedy to push our narrative!"

[cutthemdown]

I will say though this right now is nothing. As long as no one is getting beaten or clubbed, sent to hospital, set on fire, dropped in the east river. does ever city have an east river? well the should!

This looks like just pushing and shoving. I think for how pissed both sides are the restraint has been pretty good. I mean cmon parking lot of a Bronco Charger game worst then this.

These are the milder ones. I didnt post the ones where SEIU showed up to tea party rallies and literally physically assaulted people.

Riiiiiight, Kool-Aid Boy.

Everything that's been said about the tea baggers has just been part of a made-up 'narrative.'

That's the ticket.

You're right. It's not the "second amendment remedies" at all. It's because they hold signs and peaceably assemble.

You. Are. Stupid.
