Rat can stay, judge rules By Jen Roppel
CINCINNATI — Rat 2; Fairfield 0.
A federal district judge on Monday granted a preliminary injunction against the city of Fairfield, allowing a labor union to use a 12-foot-tall inflatable rat during protests of a Ford dealership.
“We’re very pleased with the judge’s decision. She nailed it,” said David Cook, an attorney for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
Two rats better than one for union By Jen Roppel
Emboldened by a federal judge’s ruling, a union has staged a marathon protest of a local auto dealership and has doubled the number of inflatable rats.
Two union members on Thursday — flanked by 12-foot-tall and 6-foot-tall rat balloons in the public right of way in front of a Ford dealership — waved at passing motorists all day as they either stood along the roadside or sat in lawnchairs. In return, they received honks of support from many drivers, including those in fire trucks and school buses.------------------------------------------- posted 6:40 AM :: reference link ::
