Union's hired 'protesters' disrupting business By Ruben Hernandez, The Business Journal of Phoenix
The Carpenters union admits most of the "protesters" are not actual union members. The union hires non-union, unemployed workers part-time -- far below union wages -- to hold banners and shout in unison at the top of their lungs.
And the carpenters' group has no worries about giving all unions a bad reputation. Other unions agree with the tactics.
Mike Vespoli, director of community affairs for the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 99, said his union also hires non-union help for demonstrations.------------------------------------------- posted 12:50 PM :: reference link ::
