"Free meals" nice try. Employee dining rooms are the only place union oasis Jan 2016 #48

I wasnt trying anything, so they were using the rooms for meetings. IT didnt say that randys1 Jan 2016 #50

Yep, I'm sure it will tickle the cockles of every anti-union heart everywhere. kristopher Jan 2016 #94

Proof? Names? Of course not - that's why we need a new thread. n/t Skwmom Jan 2016 #6

Not even a date this supposedly happened! And the union JimDandy Jan 2016 #63

Since when did union busting tactics need facts? nt kristopher Jan 2016 #95

Odd that it's the Secretary-Treasurer for the Culinary Union making this claim. Bubzer Jan 2016 #111

True... Usually it's the union's head of public relations. n/t JimDandy Jan 2016 #123

You are accused of the heinous crime of button wearing, and of "implying".....How do you plead? virtualobserver Jan 2016 #52

Wearing unions buttons while hard selling Bernie's $15 per hour oasis Jan 2016 #70

Don't be condescending......They are smarter and more savvy then you think. virtualobserver Jan 2016 #71

Easily duped by a fast talking, paid impostor selling $15 per hour oasis Jan 2016 #84

you think that workers are stupid, as does Hillary virtualobserver Jan 2016 #86

You were saying? passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #144

""Assemblywoman"! You doubt she would be politically savvy? oasis Jan 2016 #157

Not me. passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #158

Maybe you had better "think twice" and read a statement oasis Jan 2016 #159

Sorry, that's not the way it comes across. passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #160

I was a union shop steward for seven years. oasis Jan 2016 #161

I was a union member for about ten years passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #162

Union workers are naturally going to be more polically aware oasis Jan 2016 #163

The buttons are a form of ID's and they used them to gain access to the area. pnwmom Jan 2016 #106

forgive me if I am more concerned with union job losses from Clinton's policies... virtualobserver Jan 2016 #117

The union had made a deliberate choice not to endorse during the primary. pnwmom Jan 2016 #127

they endorsed Obama over Hillary passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #133

And they decided not to endorse this time, and now Bernie's people have angered them. pnwmom Jan 2016 #137

It's bad timing to endorse anyone. passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #147

They've announced that they're not going to endorse in the primary at all. pnwmom Jan 2016 #148

They are worried about Trump, not the primaries passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #149

you really believe that this will affect the vote? that is what is laughable virtualobserver Jan 2016 #140

Oh noes...Hillary did it first passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #120

You don't seem to have a clue about the labor struggle. kristopher Jan 2016 #98

This is serious business guys. Trespassing into private union space is a big no no. ProudToBeLiberal Jan 2016 #11

So it's possible they had permission. They got official union buttons from somewhere. n/t JimDandy Jan 2016 #56

They did NOT have permission. That is why the union is upset. pnwmom Jan 2016 #109

The union interestingly doesn't say that. That's my point. JimDandy Jan 2016 #115

If the button-wearers were union members, then the union wouldn't object because pnwmom Jan 2016 #122

Apparently union members are not allowed to do any political JimDandy Jan 2016 #131

It wouldn't matter if a union member provided them with a button -- both they and pnwmom Jan 2016 #136

Getting the button from an employee, or being a union member makes the most sense. JimDandy Jan 2016 #138

I don't know what info you're looking for that's not already in the article in the OP. pnwmom Jan 2016 #142

I read the union's press release hours ago. Again no mention JimDandy Jan 2016 #146

Damn right it is Bobbie Jo Jan 2016 #132

How did the staffers get the buttons. notadmblnd Jan 2016 #12

Go to that union local's website. MineralMan Jan 2016 #116

You gave me the link to buy the button notadmblnd Jan 2016 #124

They may have been provided them by a union member who is a Bernie supporter. JimDandy Jan 2016 #135

That's possible. MineralMan Jan 2016 #139

Apparently the union bosses support Hillary, but the rank and file support Bernie. Vinca Jan 2016 #72

They haven't endorsed anyone yet: Cali_Democrat Jan 2016 #76
