Striking Union Thugs Protest Outside Verizon Exec’s Home: “We’re Here to Fight” (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, August 19, 2011, 5:37 PM
The union thugs screamed, “No justice! No peace!” outside the home of a Verizon VP this week.
FOX Nation reported, via MRCTV:
Members of IBEW camp out in front of the private residence of a Verizon VP and fill the neighborhood with shouts and chants. This follows the latest trend of protesters invading the neighborhoods of their adversaries disturbing the peace of their neighbors and family members. This time, the IBEW brought a giant, inflatable rat.
The union members belonged to Local 1827 IBEW.
They must be very proud. The leftist goons do this in Cuba, too.

Wouldn’t it be great if 5-10 big Tea Party dudes showed up and offered to accommodate their challenge about ‘being their to fight’ – and handed them their a$$!!!

Where are the cops? Disturbing the peace?
Christ, I’ve seen frat parties quieter than that get broken up…

The Verizon strike is a direct consequence of Obamacare. The dispute is over the unionized workers having to pay more into their healthcare or something.
Charlie commented:
That’s Local 827. And they’ve been using that rat for years.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Trickle-down thuggery. Straight from the tip-top of the dung-heap.
squeaky commented:
as ironic as it is – [[Two unions are on strike against Verizon Communications in protest of proposed company policies that the unions themselves helped bring about. The new Obamacare law, which both unions supported, dramatically hikes the cost of Verizon’s employee health care plan. Efforts to pass some of that cost on to employees have sparked outrage.]]

[[Verizon Communications Inc.'s 45,000 striking workers -- fighting demands that they pay more for health insurance -- are among a dwindling group of employees who do not contribute to employer-provided health benefits, experts said Monday.]]

Boy howdy, no entity on earth makes more tubby bast&rds than the Unions.
Eight kobe beef steaks a day, every other day off with pay, double and triple time for sitting in a truck drinking, smoking reefer, and sleeping, more vacation time than the President (and that’s SAYING something) — that will indeed produce the tubby.
And WOW look at all that tubbiness.
There was less total body fat on the first episode of The Biggest Loser.
(You fat-a$$, lazy, greedy, lying punk-a$$ pieces of $4it, G.F.Y. with an ungreased utility pole. NOW.)

This is a wonderful site, it may be off topic or is it. Soros manipulates media and unions.

Counterprotesters are needed. Fighting goons with their own good tactics has worked very well.
TennDon commented:
Mgr needs to hire it’s own thugs to reciprocate and picket, disrupt the union bosses and many of the so-called rank & felons.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
We’re here to fight!
Knock yourselves out then, fukko! We’re not here! WE’RE AT WORK, SWEATING SO MUCH YOU’D FILE A GRIEVANCE AND GO ON STRIKE, JUST SO WE CAN PAY FOR YOUR PRINCELY PENSION THROUGH BAILOUTS, AFTER YOUR UNION SPENT IT ALL ON GOLF COURSES, RESORTS, AND ILLEGALLY FUNDED DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGNS.
GFY, IBEW. SRSLY.
Freddy commented:
I just got a really bad attitude towards this labor union. I think Verizon should refuse to settle! EVER!
These goons need to be tought a lesson. Period.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Verizon should run ads featuring these videos.
“These tubby SOBs is why your slow-a$$ internet costs so much compared to any other developed nations. Ten of them do the work of one normal, non-P.O.S. worker! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?”
(Europe and Asia have GIGABIT speeds for FAR LESS than we pay for snail-like tens of MEGABIT stuttering YouTube videos and non-working to grainy Netflix movies. These “men” are the reason.)
tommy mc donnell commented:
tactics right out of the marxist handbook. complete with leftist chants. this is what their democratic party union leaders learned from the howard deans and andy sterns. they are not winning any friends with these tactics.
anybody remember when the union label meant quality workmanship. that died when the democratic party took over the unions.
squeaky commented:
i heard that they’ll lose their benefits if they’re not back by 8-31. they look like fools.
exceller commented:
how is this even legal? aren’t they violating some kind of city ordinances? i despise this type of tactic, going to peoples private residences. in my view they lose any and all sympathy and credibility.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
I would GLADLY work for Verizon, for TEN DOLLARS AN HOUR!
And I wouldn’t even demand that I get every holiday on the calendar off, WITH PAY.
Nor would I demand to be PAID for being OUT SICK.
Nor would I demand “MY” two fifteens and “MY” half-hour break.
Nor would I go on strike for breaking a sweat.
Nor would I demand to be paid for “accrued sick days” at the end of the year, on which days I wasn’t sick.
I would do the work efficiently (*gasp! faint…*)and NOT hate the company I work for — in fact, I would strive to be the best employee this company had, FOR THE GOOD OF MY EMPLOYER!
I wouldn’t sabotage equipment. I wouldn’t vandalize the management’s vehicles.
In short, I would be a MUCH MORE VALUABLE EMPLOYEE THAN ANY OF THESE FAT, HATEFUL, GREEDY, LYING, LAZY LEECHES.
exceller commented:
i’d love to see some aggressive journalists get their names and out them so that some local tea parties can protest at their own homes.
austinswan commented:
I’m wondering just how long such a protest at the house of a police commissioner would be tolerated.
Patty commented:
#22
sounds good to me. I wish they all be fired. others need a job and i bet they wouldn’t cause trouble, family to feed. these protestors are manipulators of hate.
S. Wolf commented:
‘Who said this? A representative of the 21st century U.S. Democratic party, maybe?
“As things stand today, the trade unions in my opinion cannot be dispensed with. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions of the nation’s economic life. Their significance lies not only in the social and political field, but even more in the general field of national politics. A people whose broad masses, through a sound trade-union movement, obtain the satisfaction of their living requirements and at the same time an education, will be tremendously strengthened in its power of resistance in the struggle for existence”.
It could well be any Leftist speaker of the present time but it is in fact a small excerpt from chapter 12 of Mein Kampf, wherein Hitler goes to great lengths to stress the importance of unions. The association between unions and Leftism is of course historic and, as a Leftist, Hitler made great efforts to enlist unions as supporters of his party.’

Sounds familiar. Much else at site.

[[“The contract expired and the company is trying to take our benefits away and rewrite the rules that have been in place after 50 years of negotiations and contracts,” O’Neil said. “They basically want to eliminate middle-class jobs.”]] a quote that kind of says it all. someone needs to tell mr o’neil that he’s not in kansas anymore.

patman, I’m with you. I was just going to ask isnt this stuff disruptive to the neighborhood and if so, where the hell are the cops? What on earth is going on? – it seems there are no laws nowadays.
AnnoyALiberal commented:
Bunch of thugs. Disgusting that they drag their kids to these protests and behave like such jerks.
Old Dude commented:
Would any of these people hesitate to call the police on anyone doing this in front of their own house? This type of behavior is what has hurt unions over the years.
I’d also be willing to bet that if the public knew what kind of wage and benefit package these people were getting before the strike,they would be getting even less sympathy from the public than they are getting now.
Buffalobob commented:
When they go on strike and the gravy train runs off a cliff, what will they use to make the payments on their $15,000 plus bikes I see parked in the street. Unemployment won’t kick in, strike benefits are a pittance, remember your union bosses spent your dues on golf courses, luxury outings and fancy headquarters. Union thugs, can you say repossessed?
Militant Conservative commented:
As the home owner or neighbor I’d be on the front portch cleaning my guns.
I have very scary guns. Ar-10,15. M1 carbines, m1A1. Oh yes I buy nothing but the best.
what does skippy poor boy have? A pistol, revolver, maybe a shotgun?
My shot gun has accesories and back ups for the back ups.
powder is dry, thug behavior is not tollerated in states that like guns.

Someone should pay a bunch of kids to throw eggs at them. There you go tough guys, lets see you chase down a 12 yr old boy. baahahahaha

Guess unions dont like black people.

rickperry2012 commented:
If they are allowed to do this in a neighborhood then it must be alright to take it back at them and send some picketers to their houses. Turn about is fair play. See how much they like it when their family is traumatized by people shouting things at mommy and daddy for being crappy workers and greedy ones to boot.
MikeSilver commented:
Militant …. this is in Jersey. No guns. Plus, the cops are on the union side.

See, the thing is, we aren’t INTO TERRORISM!
THAT’S THE LEFT’S M.O.!
Ours is: “Repay curses with blessings, and kill them with kindness.”
We’ll NEVER even THINK about terrorizing their kids and neighbors like this. NEVER.
If we ever do a demonstration for our cause, it will be FOR OUR CAUSE, not AGAINST PEOPLE.
Pro vs. Con.
Good vs. Evil.
Love vs. Hate.
Us. vs. people we hope will join US, and quit following the Devil Himself.
Ipso Facto commented:
Those boys are just making our point that unions are NFG. Don’t think that action will go unnoticed by the voting public.
If I were AT&T I’d buy out Verizon right now…I mean just the infrastructure…not the employees. AT&T could easily find new people in this economy. You can’t tell me there aren’t a bunch of telecom techs who are unemployed.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
We Just Don’t Do That Evil Sh1t.
That’s THEIR BAG OF TRICKS.
God will win in the end, and Sons of Satan will meet their Unholy Master, the Father of Lies, the bringer of nothing but Kill and Steal and Destroy.
Don’t go there. NOT EVER. Or deny God and His power, and join the followers of the Enemy.
Your choice.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Assemble, if you MUST, outside their houses, and PRAY FOR THEM.
Talk about terror. That would scare any son of the devil.

Deal…? We’ll party like it’s 1899!!!
Dan commented:
Didn’t that judge who made the “no flinging poo” ruling also specifically rule that no more than 2 IBEW demonstrators could protest outside a Verizon exec’s private residence?
Rob De Witt commented:
What a lot of folks here are suggesting is just what happened in Detroit in the ’30s: the company (Ford) hired strike-breakers (or in UnionSpeak, “scabs”) and then company thugs to fight the union thugs. The cops, for the most part, stayed out of it.
Unfortunately, the upshot of the whole deal was that Henry Ford made a buncha more money and the International Left dined out on the story until the present day. Strike breakers got their heads dented and the cost of cars went up. It could be argued that there’s a direct line from that time to this incident. Unions are, and have always been, tools of the International, and have successfully portrayed themselves as victims of the Class War.
The only possible good to come of this is citizen journalism like we’re seeing here, and the ultimate exposure of the corruption that is Leftism. Unions need to be dismantled through the constant vigilance of people like Jim Hoft and Andrew Breitbart, James O’Keefe and Lila Rose. War in the streets won’t get it; that’s what the unions want, that’s what the Left wants.
A friend constantly reiterates her belief that what we’re watching is the ultimate demise of the Left in all its rotten glory – the end of 250 years of Satan among us. It’s bound to be ugly; no foul creature surrenders gracefully. I increasingly believe she’s right.
My God, what a time to be living in.

Yes, there are only two extremes. Black and white. Nothing in between. No gray area.
Sure thing.
Which are you: a Union worker or a University Professor?
Or someone who swallowed whole the line given by the Unions?
Funny thing: I know a whole lot of people who aren’t in unions. None of them are shackled to their machines for 12 hours a day. None of them “owe their soul to the company store.” All of them are living as comfortably as they are able (albeit — not like PRINCES, like the Union workers do, with multiple houses, RVs, 10 TVs, 5 cars, McMansions, and princely pensions and unlimited employer-destroying “bennies” — but like normal hard-working, life-loving humans in America do). Hell, I’m a NON-UNION dishwasher. I’m not a slave? \
WOW! How is that even possible! I thought that without unions, all employees were but slaves to the Evil Corporate Master!
There is a grey area between making so much that your company has to either outsource internationally or DIE, and SLAVERY.
Seriously. You shouldn’t eat every bit of bait that comes your way. You end up on a hook that way.
Ladue Pundit commented:
This stuff would never fly in Ladue, MO. Many of the lanes here are private property.
If protestors blocked the road in front of my house, Ladue’s Finest would escort them away or take them into custody.
You can take that to the bank. These execs are trying not to ruffle feathers.
Ginger commented:
Union workers are lazy…lazy…lazy! I know because I had to work with them for over 8 long sacry miserable years at, UAW! I saw drugs bought and sold, I saw gay sexual acts right on the line, the abuse of one another and towards their foreman and management Much much more. Don’t get me wrong but the ones who were bad made it seem like it was a lot of them. The bullies knew who were their victims! The drugs and booze they consumned before during and after work hours made them really scary people.
Some of the union workers who show up for these hateful rallys really do not want to be there! Fear of being harassed by the mean ones puts them there where they do not want to be.
Truth teller commented:
Union retards strike again. Enter my property, plan to be buried there.
big L commented:
We are seeing our city halls and our police departments. They are not worth the money they are paid. They are not enforcing the law.I have to think the police are sympathizers. How ’bout no unions for police too. Time for a new broom. Better arm up. We are on our own.
Molon Labe commented:
Verizon needs new blood. As for these goons if they are there to fight I hope the police meet them in the spirit of the moment. By the way Gitmo isn’t full is it?
These folks sound like terrorists to me.
SSBN 627(B) commented:
#58 Molon – naw, terrorists are, to a man, white/Christian/former Military and non-union. Just ask Janet.
We’ve had some of these IBEW pukes involved in construction at the plant. As a ‘non-professional’, I’ve spent years cleaning up after their blazing incompetence. They may get paid waywayway too much in pursuit of complete amateurism, but they do provide a modicum of job security for us regular guys.
BTW, OC(P)RICK: you, sir are a complete boob.
Militant Conservative commented:
Figures NJ huh. Must be why I never went to the
socialist NE. Satan only has about 6 months left.
I can hang that long. The unions are subsistent
On thier being an economy. The dark angel is trying
To bring it all down. Collapse & chaos.
How many of y’all ready for that??
Lil Ricky sure isn’t, he some of the flotsam.

Call the police and have them issued a warning, then next time bring the bus and arrest them all. Thugs through and through. Really nice for the children and neighbors.
Sal Goldstein commented:
My child asked me if Rise of Planet of the Apes is a documentary about the 2008 presidential campaign. I can understand the confusion.
Ausonius commented:
Loosers performing what is in effect the equivalent to psychological terrorism. I would really love to know if our founders would have approved of such peace disturbance of, not only their target, but their entire neighborhood as well.
I despise the union concept from early in my life after having watched them brainwash close family members of mine with their vile ideas.
Loosers!
BarbaraS commented:
Fire them all. Unions have outlived their usefulness. They are now extortionists. So many companies have bankrupted because of these unions and their unrealistic demands. With the economy the way it is, there has to be thousands of employees begging for a job. The problem would be that a few legs would be broken by these criminals. They used to do stuff like that all the time in days gone past. The mentality hasn’t changed much.
US Steel’s pulling out in Birmingham made that town pretty much a ghost town for a while, at least on the side of town the steel mill was located. They pulled out because the company couldn’t sustain the high salaries paid to the workers. My dad worked there as a foreman (non union) and he told me that the guy who swept out the shop made more than a highly skilled construction worker. Do these union people really think thaey are garnering sympathy with these antics? In reality, they don’t care about that. They just want their freebies and to h*ll with everybody else.
All states should be right-to-work states because it is unconstitutional to require worker to belong to an organization AND pay dues in order to work in that state. Allpublic unions should be abolished period. They involve a conflict of interest in mega proportions.
Mad Hatter commented:
This has nothing to do with protesting, this is Disturbing the Peace in a Residential Area, Disorderly Conduct, and Harassment.
If this is done in front of Verizon’s Corporate Office, and if they have a permit to protest, that’s fully legal.
This stuff is old fashion, 1952, Union Thug Tactics.
I noticed commented:
I wonder how terrible their compensation really package is, I mean, I noticed a good sized group of Harley’s there. Most of them were the models that are $16,000 to $20,000. In NJ I doubt those are primary transportation especially in winter.
DEVO commented:
These are the very same unions demanding obamacare only to get exemption when they realized their Cadillac plans would be affected in a negative way. So they got Obama to give them a 5 year extension to their existing plans.
I love it when the unions always point to how much profit these companies make as if they are ENTITLED to that profit when the division they work for is only COSTING the company millions.
The LAN line business is DEAD. Verizon was smart to not make FIOS union run.
These very same THUGS voted in CT to NOT budge on cost forcing thousands of fellow UNION workers to get laid off. They will kill their young if they have to.
