25 Aug 2004 We Might As Well Just Invite in the Visigoths

A friend drew our attention this evening to this Washington Post story in which an AFL-CIO leader gives this advice to Pentagon employees who are union members:

Our job is to be the irritant, piss ant stinging them on their ankles at every opportunity.

and

In your workplace, be creative, be disruptive, be a royal pain in the [expletive]!!

This is the kind of thinking that makes me believe that the only good labor union is an extinct one.

Why are any employees at the Pentagon unionized, anyway? The entire notion is pathetic.

We might as well just invite in the Visigoths and save the trouble of a battle.
