the strike might be the last straw, but it's certainly not the only straw.

You know Joey... If it were up to him there would be no Unions, Minimum Wage or Regulations of any kind.

Maybe - why would that happen? Oh yeaaahhh... that union thing...

18000 jobs gone. How many of those people voted Democrat, at their union's urging? Worked out real well.

I doubt how they voted has any impact whatsoever to their current situation.

Not a direct result - no - the timeline is too short (10 days). Unless the givebacks were expanded to offset ObamaCare expenses, but even that seems too soon.

But, does it not cause one to question their political alignment? The same union that told you to vote Democratic is the one that lost you your job.
