Hippies to shut down west coast ports
Despite the fact that labor, namely the longshoreman, oppose it, the hippies on the West Coast are going to punish The Man by shutting down the ports on the West Coast today. from the Washington Times;
Organized labor appears divided over the port shutdown effort. In Oakland, which saw strong union support for the Nov. 2 general strike that culminated in the closing of the port, the city’s teachers union is backing Monday’s action, while the county’s construction workers have come out against the shutdown, saying the port has provided jobs to many unemployed workers and apprentices.
The Port of Oakland has appealed to city residents not to join the blockade, which they say could hurt the port’s standing among customers and cost local jobs.
A bunch of selfish little twits who still haven’t figured how the economy works yet.

Yeah! Let’s stick it to the man by stopping honest people from earning money just before Christmas!
“Sorry, Jimmy. I couldn’t afford that Christmas gift for you because a bunch of smelly hippies want to make my fat cat bosses pay. Oh, my bosses are actually saving money because they don’t have to pay me for not working, but that’s not what the hippies said.”
Maybe help some of them talk a long walk on a short pier?
These sleazebags go right along with the Prez. He won’t allow the pipeline to be on a jobs bill. The pipeline IS the jobs, at least a major part of private sector jobs, while making the Ragheads look elsewhere to market their crude.
I would not even try to understand how they can see that stopping hardworking, blue collar types from working helps the hardworking, blue collar types.
Assholes, the lot of the smelly bastards.
They need to shut down Mom’s bathroom while they bathe themselves and clean those stinky pits, then shut down the barbershop while they get a haircut that makes them more attractive to an employer, then occupy a job.
(Variation of someone else’s comment from somewhere today.)
Of course the teachers are going to come out in favor of a strike that doesn’t affect them.
Assdouches.
Longshoremen versus occupy?….that’s an asswhipping worth a ticket price.
I can see it now…
“Yeah, sorry guys, the union bosses say you’ve got to support the hippies instead of showing up for your $50-plus/hour jobs plus shitload of overtime. Merry Christmas.”
No, they’ve figured out how the economy works, and they’re trying to get it back in working condition again.
Somebody is going to bleed. A lot.
The unions are with OWS. Well, they are with them until it actually costs the unions something. So, the unions declare their neutrality and plot to disrupt the disruption. Their thugs will probably be wearing Tea Party shirts, the violence will occur, the police will be brought in, and voila!, the police bear the brunt of the heat. Perfect.
Six pack of beer says that ILWU management is behind the #occupy movement shutting down the west coast ports 100%. Call it “payment” in retribution and the ILWU gets to cripple the western seaboard and the US economy. Its membership has a number of communist/marxist fellow travelers….Goggle Harry Bridges.
@8…not even you could believe that line of horseshit. Just no way.
I hope they try that shit here in Alaska. Whole lot of land to hide bodies and it’s a wee bit chilly this time of year!
Its so great! we’re shutting down the engines of the economy, because that will totally hurt the richest in the country. There’s no way this would backfire on the little guy.
Am I the only one that feels like the whole Left coast is taking crazy pills? What the fuck happened to my beautiful Golden State?
#14 “What the fuck happened to my beautiful Golden State?” In a word illegals. That has tipped the demographic balance to the Democrats.
