Teamsters Local 727, which represents 16 Alderwoods embalmers, drivers and funeral directors, had been negotiating with the company that owns the homes after their labor contract expired June 30. The union complained that the other side had bargained in bad faith and had “…proposed a three-year wage freeze and a company health care package that is more expensive and less comprehensive than the union’s health and welfare benefits,” reports the Chicago Sun-Times. And so the Teamsters targeted four funeral homes for strike.In the end, who cares what these unionistas say when they are willing to act like criminals? This is why unions are illegitimate. This is why unions are un-American not to mention uncivilized. What makes these creeps any better than the Phelps crew at the Westboro Baptist Church?
