SEIU's Apology Over Boy Scout Incident
Below you will see two letters from municipal union SEIU, addressed to LV Congressman Charlie Dent and Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski. They apologize for "careless and insensitive" remarks made by a local union president, objecting to volunteer efforts by boy scouts at an Allentown park. (You can click on the letters to see them more clearly).

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Too late!
ReplyDeleteThey are thugs, they are government employees and they embody everything that is wrong with government today.
ReplyDeleteThey have proven themselves to be greedy and boorish.
Too little, too late and I am sure insincere.
My mind is completely changed now. I'm in love with SEIU.
ReplyDeleteNot.
It's another example of the wild-eyed damage that the right wing does to the ability of working people to make a living. The union NEVER threatened to sue the boy scout, but the Big Lie strategy always works. Repeat it often enough and it becomes accepted "truth." God help the working man - and woman - while public opinion is being shaped by Tea Baggers.

ReplyDeleteWorking man my ass. Extortionist, thug, yes. But working man? Stop already, you whiney little puke, or mommy will take away your internet privileges and she'll stop doing your laundry.

Love it!
Actually, a more appropriate description would be "Canigetcrat"
The Eagle Scout earned his "Scab" badge from the knuckle-dragging SEIU bullies. The public has NO empathy for public employees who have long ago forgotten who they work for- the taxpayers!And the Allentown parks dept. employees who stabbed their least senior brothers and sisters in the back should be ashamed of themselves.
ReplyDelete-Another Allentown Demo
We were surprised a local union was allowed by the national to issue any type of a public statement in the first place.
ReplyDeleteSadly, this story of a union vs. a scout traveled the world via the Internet.
