I have had it with the protestors by the Mayo

Main and 6th at the bank...along with people from Iron Gate down the street...the homeless ministries.

Ah, guess I haven't been going to the right places to see them then lol.  I might make me up a sign and go have a sit in with them, hehe.

"Protest IBC on white bread, hold the Mayo"

Some U of Tulsa students did a small counter protest the other day, holding up signs that read "Shame on Meaningless Protesters" or something like that.    Kinda made me chuckle.

I saw a small group at 61ST and Yale on Tuesday and again Thursday

The protestors are at it again...

This time the Carpenter's union  is hiring people to protest at Edison Middle School because Tulsa Public Schools put a contract out for bid, the contract was won by Flintco, and Flintco is using some other company as a sub-contractor... so they protest Edison Middle School.  The school had to do a release because so many parantes wondered what the disruption was and so many kids talked about the distraction.

NEVER HIRE THESE PEOPLE.  The best way to make them go away is to make them go out of business.  It cannot happen soon enough for me... and I think unions can serve a very useful function (read: in Oklahoma that makes me a union supporter).

wait, is it Green Country Interiors that is protesting (harassing) or Midwest Drywall?

[Gaspar]

It's protest season.  You don't expect them to protest in the cold do you?

I will be protesting on Friday.  I'm going to stand in the middle of a pond and protest any fish that refuse to get on my hook.

Shame on those fish!

You are correct.  Sorry for the confusion.  IN theory Green Country is being protested.

What irritates me is they are not really protesting Green Country Interiors.  They are harassing all of their clients and giving the impression that they did something wrong.  IN reality, TPS probably couldn't award the bid to the union shop if they wanted to (standard bid procedure - lowest qualified bidder wins.  Presumably they either werent qualified or didn't have the low bid). 

Why not protest Flintco - who apperently is the company that keeps hiring the company these guys hate?  Instead of a hotel, a bank, a University, and an elementary school?

Just saw a photo of this same group protesting a business in Wisconsin... these people are out in some real cold!
Under the name "North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters" they were using the same PVC-framed signs we saw here.

The state DOT ordered them off of a right-of-way, but they went back the next day.
Now, if one of them were dressed in a Mumu and saying bad things about a bank, we could send them a helicopter full of riot troops to clean up the protest.

We saw them either in Kansas or Colorado a couple of weeks ago, seemed out of place wherever we were.  Sorry for the lack of specificity but one of those whirlwind trips where you don't sleep much for 48 hours.

Maybe the Westboro Baptist people are doing some subcontracting.

We should start a rumor that Westboro opposes labor unions, make the protesters protest the protestors
"Shame on God Hates Fags"

Get a rope and let's hang them.  Who needs a yearly paid vacation to be able the enjoy their short span of life, who has a right to demand equal pay for the product of their labor, why would any one be entitle to 7 paid holidays each year, who needs a safe place to work or live or bargain for paid medical insurance, or introducing new ways to teach your children.  The solution lies with all union members taking their paid vacation during a single week then the employers and desk jockeys' will be able to run the industrials that produced wealth, now moved to foreign soils, disrupting the taxing system and creating the "Fiscal Cliff" we are in free fall from.  The paper economy where the product of the total gross national product taxed at 100% would require years to pay off the assumed obligations of more than $200 trillion dollars.

Will China sell us 1" rope on credit?
