In reply to the discussion: 2 Dietz & Watson employees drive into union picket line [View all]TiberiusB

Here's 36 possible reasons to reconsider that position:

Once again, whether it's Texas, or Vermont, or any where in between, you CAN'T be forced to join a union, so I'm not sure what you are thankful for.
The whole back and forth about not wanting to be forced to join the union doesn't apply at all here since the demonstrators aren't Dietz and Watson employees. The workers were free to enter the building and based on the current reporting, no one was actually prevented from doing so...unless you think Dietz and Watson only has two employees and they refuse to carpool. Besides, as I pointed out already, the police tried to get at least one driver to use an alternate entrance which was presumably more easily accessed.
