I forgot, you only like union lobbyists but those cops and the airline
employees are all union members.


You've looked in their wallets for membership cards, eh?


I don't have to the unions do.
Illinois is not a right to work state. If there were scabs at United
or the airport police, there would be picket lines around the airport
and nobody would be making their flights.


You don't know what a scab is, either.


Of course I do. I was raised in a union household and surrounded by
Teamsters for the first 18 years of my life.
A scab is a non union person brought in by management to replace a
union worker (usually in a strike). Since all jobs at ORD are union,
the only person who could be working there without a union card for
that specific job would be a scab.
In Chicago the electricians union even demanded that we have IBEW guys
standing around drinking coffee, on the clock, when we moved a few
machines around at the education center. We would not actually let
them touch our cables because they kept ****ing them up but they still
got paid for it.
