SEIU Disrupts LA Thanksgiving Traffic Because Workers Left Union


"Whaddaya means youse wanna leave da union?"


LA Residents know that you don't want to be on the freeways on the day before Thanksgiving, when people are trying to get out of town. I had to be today to attend the funeral of my father-in-law at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City about a mile from LAX. So today was the day that SEIU aka The Purple People Beaters chose to stage a march down Century Blvd, which leads directly into LAX. Apparently, the brain surgeons who run LA gave them a permit for 45 minutes. When some folks wanted to stay longer, arrests were made.

And why was SEIU marching? Apparently some airport workers decided to dump them and leave their union. Therefore, in typical union fashion, they decided to make life miserable for holiday travelers.

The below report by Weasel Zippers shows that some marchers didn't even know why they were there.

I passed by on Interstate 405 about 90 minutes after the march ended and returned several hours later. Apparently, I wasn't affected.
