This is one of many reasons I despise unions.

Nice job union bastards. Boycott honoring your union brethren who died saving others on 9/11/01 because the person leading the effort to honor them is non-union. Makes you look all "united" n' stuff.

As a father of a son who was there, he's OK, I know about the strong union feeling. Many FF's have been
required to add to their pension costs and possibly share in Health costs.  They have very strong feelings about what they earn. My son'sLadder truck does between 2500 - 3000 runs a year.Any one of those could be his last. That's the way they think!!  HOWEVER, to disrespect the 343 FF's who died is disgraceful.
There are many ways to show your disapproval and disagreement. This is NOT one of them.

Must suck to be such a pussy, you run from your own beliefs and world view.  Man up, boy.  Comment proudly.

An instance of a union taking an adversarial position that was against the interest and the beliefs if its members. Good. Choke on it, Leftists.

The man that built the float and the men in uniform that walked behind it came out the grown ups in the room.
