Non-government Union crews turned away from helping with hurricane recovery
Decatur Utilities: Crews told to affiliate with union to help with recovery
http://www.waff.com/story/19981857/some-nonunion-ala-crews-turned-away-from-sandy-recovery
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY (WAFF) -
The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews learned they could not help out in New Jersey unless they affiliated with a union.
A six man crew from Decatur Utilities headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can't do any work there since they're not union employees.
The general manager of Decatur Utilities, Ray Hardin told Fox Business they were presented documents from the International Brotherhood of Electric Workers at a staging area in Virginia. The documents stated they had to affiliate with a union to work, which the crews could not agree to.
Hardin said the crews were told this was a requirement to work.
As they waited for confirmation on the documents, crews received word that Seaside Heights had received the assistance they needed from other sources.
They attempted to look for work in other areas but because a resolution could not be reached, they made the decision late Thursday night to return home.
Moore said they're frustrated being told "thanks, but no thanks."
Huntsville Utilities said they were not turned away and are up in storm ravaged areas working.
Joe Wheeler EMC said they did not respond to New Jersey, but did go up to Maryland and headed home once they were done.

Unions killed the American industrial complex and are "working" to kill schools, government, and anything else they can make non-competitive and overpriced. Kick a union member in the balls! Grabbing his nuts will be the most productive thing he does in his day! Cock sucking leaches!

@XR400R Actually . . . A cock sucking leach is even more productive than a union member.

Yeh I heard about that, Alabama goes in to help the state get their electricity back on. But the union thugs turn them back, because they where not union.
Maybe a union person here can explain the reasoning behind that thought process.

@cajunmojo union members are the only ones I know who actually vote against their own profession..
the union's have basically set seige to every single industry in america where one uses their hands... setting to destroy it.
who would vote for their own demise?
Answer? DEMOCRATS

@Americanalltheway But the real victims are the people without electricity, heat or fuel. They're the ones wondering why no one's helping.

@Warrenz666 Normally, I'd agree. But it's been reported from Georgia utilities workers as well.

How is this a lie? This article and your link say Decatur Utilities was told to affiliate with a union before beginning work. Huntsville and Joe Wheeler were not, and were able to work. http://ftpcontent.worldnow.com/wsfa/linkedwebdocs/Press%20Release%20Hurricane%20Sandy.pdf

How is it possible that workers can be turned away from working because they're not affiliated with some random organization. After Obama I will never let union people work on my home. Screw Unions, Obama and Liberals.
And, this union thuggery is being noted and it can't be helping Obama.

@getevennotmad Been there, done that. Worked for a Non-Union shop and was turned away from a job due to not having a Union card. F*** that. Customer still wanted the product and paid 3 times the original cost due to "Union" wages for piss poor quality work. Screw the Unions. Might have been good at one time, but now all they do is cover for the lazy bastards who don't wanna work.

Having worked in a union shop for years, I will have to agree that all they breed is mediocrity and corruption.

After 9/11 I gathered my USAR gear and basically walked away from my job to go VOLUNTEER in the rescue efforts, I was told "...If you dont have a union card, GO HOME..." There where guys from all over this country who packed all their equipment and supplies, basically closed their business to come help, and were told to F off, because they arent "...hiring anyone else in the pit.." HIRING? HIRING?!?!?! the sight of these grown, toughened, patriotic AMERICANS who came to VO More..

Not getting the power up sooner just means more looting. Sounds like the power companies need to get raped in the ass by a parana.

@Warrenz666 lol so they ARE in a union. So if they weren't would they have been turned away? Still glad to see it's not true. Thanks for clarifying!
