Strike Baby Strike

Union spokeswoman Lynne Hancock said the workers are seeking better health care benefits and limits on the use of contractors to replace union members in maintenance jobs. She said wages are not an issue.-Huffington Post

I saw one of the USW VP's on the news the other day spewing the same bullshit.  Oh, I wish the media would stop saying this is about money, It's not, it's about healthcare and safety.

Really?  Then why are they demanding a pay raise 100% over their last raise?  If it's not about money who cares who pays for the insurance premiums?  They are demand the "Big Bad Mean Oil Companies" to cover more of the out of pocket expenses.  How is that not about money?  How is that not a pay raise?

The union says it does not want outside contractors to do work.  Again, the just more dollars for the union.  How is that not about money?  In the mean time let's watch gas go back to four bucks/gal, while the union bosses get FATTER AND FATTER.
IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY!!!
