Why are there pickets at some guys house out in Anchorage? He may be a replacement worker, but seriously for people trying to claim the moral high ground it's a bit low to picket someones house.

More often than not, I support labor in these situations, but when this starts to happen, it makes me re-examine my position.

<_< HP---- What do you think is going on here? You think this is some sort of game? These people (SCABS) are stealing food off the table of people who have invested a good portion of their lifes in this company! This is an ugly business! Now I'm not condoning violance in any form, but if a person choses to become a scab, he'd better be awear of the concqences!!!!HPearlyretiree said:See, if the union sends goons to someones house, evidently that is OK, because intimidation and thuggery is evidently given a pass.
If that is OK, I'd like to see management go picket the houses of some union guy who is an underperformer.
Of course, if that happened, the company would be sued in a minute.
Double standard anyone?
Picketing someones house is a classless stunt that only serves to make the union guys look like a bunch of lowlifes.

You mean SCAB.
So you can take my job, come on the internet as an alias, laugh about taking my job, yet when I stand in front of your house and tell your friends and neighbors that you are a SCAB, I have low morals.
You might want to reexamine you own principles.

<_< Aren't you missing the point! By crossing someones picket line, you are involving a guys family!!! THE FAMILY OF THE PERSON ON STRIKE!!!!!!! :angry:whodoyouthinkyouare said:My principles are fine. I'm not unionised and I've never done struck work.
I still think it's morally bankrupt to involve a guys family in your fight.

<_< What are we talking about here? Peaceful picketing of a scabs home? Do I condone that? Why not? That person chose to become a scab! The picketors have the right to voice their greavences publicly, in a lawful maner!!!!whodoyouthinkyouare said:
What are you condoning then?
