NLRB accuses union thugs of violence, threats of rape and implied harm to managers’ kids
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  March 9th, 2014 at 08:00 AM

In the latest development of a more than year-long labor dispute in Vancouver, the National Labor Relations Board has accused picketers of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 4 of a multitude of horrific acts which include violence, threats of rape and implied harm to children, as well as racial slurs toward company security officers.

These acts, according to The Oregonian include the pinning of a security officer’s legs under a moving vehicle, blocking drivers’ vision and causing permanent eye injury to a security officer, reckless pursuit of company vans, as well as threatening a manager’s daughter with rape and “implied threats to harm a manager’s children by telling him they would ‘see his children at school’ and asking, ‘are (his) children okay today?’”

The labor dispute began in February 2013, when United Grain Corporation–a wheat exporter that runs a terminal in Vancouver, Washington–locked out 44 ILWU workers following six months of “fruitless negotiations” and after an ILWU member allegedly sabotaged the company’s equipment.

Since that time there have been charges and counter charges at the NLRB by both the Company and the union.

Last week, the NLRB’s regional director, Ronald Hooks, “accused United Grain of unfairly locking out union members and unjustly discharging longshoremen” while the union’s picketers engaged in their own egregious behavior.

Gotta luv dem union goons.

I hate liberals. Liberalism is a disease that causes severe brain damage after it tries to suck knowledge and history out of yours.

Unions are their own worst enemies at times.

That is in spite of the fact the deck is stacked towards them, they still think they have to resort to criminal behavior to get their way.   

In some cases its not even considered "criminal behavior" (it would send anyone else to prison) by the government,  as unions have a get out of jail free card on many crimes.
