In the real world, there are unions By Betsey Piette, Workers World
MTV's "Real World" was dealt a reality check when it tried to set up shop in Philadelphia using non-union labor.
Union members from the city's construction trades picketed for two weeks outside the Seaman's Church Institute in Old City and prevented the production staff from entering a building being renovated for the so-called reality show.
The message from Teamsters, painters, carpenters and electricians to the show that claims to define "hip" was clear: Union busting isn't cool!------------------------------------------- posted 7:06 AM :: reference link ::
