looks like some union goons, and i do mean goons because that's what it sounds like here, were messing with my local five guys. this is a pretty good article:
A few days earlier, a couple of blocks away, the same electricians union had been outbid for a job repairing a bit of wiring at the Five Guys burger joint. The electricians are headed by John Dougherty, one of the city’s most vocal and visible union leaders, who has a reputation for rough tactics when it comes to union business. The union — Local 98 — sent picketers who insinuated that the restaurant was unclean due to a vermin infestation. The restaurant manager posted a small bill on the storefront, titled, "What is Really Happening Outside?" It said there were no vermin anywhere inside and never had been; also: "We are being picketed by members of the electrical workers’ union (Local 98) because they are upset that a Local 98 subcontractor didn’t win a contract. ... The Local 98 bid was three times higher than the bid by the winning subcontractor."
check out the comments too for laughs. why can't the city just have unions compete with everybody else for work without resorting to goon tactics? isn't competition and capitalism the basis of america?
