Union Thuggery at It's Worst

From the Las Vegas Sun: When he’s out in downtown Las Vegas, an area he’s almost single-handedly helping to revitalize, Tony Hsieh is often greeted like a conquering hero. People ask for photos, pitch him on business ideas and generally bask in the reflected light of the Zappos.com CEO who will move his company to the area next year.
But during a recent meal downtown, Hsieh found himself under verbal attack from a handful of fellow diners, members of the Culinary Union who demonstrated their union’s willingness to attack even the popular in their feud with Station Casinos and those who do business with the non-union employer.
Culinary Union Local 226 has long sought to unionize Station Casinos’ 13,000 employees.
Zappos, which sells shoes and clothes over the Internet, does business with Station Casinos in this way: When executives with outside companies venture to Las Vegas for Zappos’ two-day boot camp, the company houses them at nearby Green Valley Ranch Resort, a Station Casinos property. Until its move downtown, Zappos is headquartered in Henderson, near Green Valley Parkway and Interstate 215.
It’s that connection that led to Hsieh coming under attack Friday night at Le Thai restaurant on Fremont Street.
Onlookers who did not wish to be named told the Sun that Hsieh was dining when someone from a nearby table asked if he was Tony Hsieh. When he said yes, four or five people from that table began haranguing him about Zappos and Green Valley Ranch.
Hsieh repeatedly told them that his focus is revitalizing downtown and that he isn’t in the arbitration business.
The confrontation dragged on for about 30 minutes. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/dec/15/culinary-unions-attacks-tony-hsieh-called-disgusti/
First, the Culinary is nothing but a bunch of union thugs. There is no good redeeming quality for this union, especially the leaders. they steal union dues from it's members and uses the dues to have their thugs thrown in jail. They use their members dues to slander people and pay people to picket different places of businesses.
Then their thugs go bother a businessman while he is trying to enjoy his meal at a local restaurant. For 30 minutes.
And what the hell is wrong with the restaurant allowing this kind of thuggish behavior to happen and allow it to happen for 30 minutes?
Yvanna Cancela, you are a Culinary union thug when you said this: Yvanna Cancela, Culinary Union political director, said the union “wants to make sure that Tony and the rest of (Zappos) knows what’s going on.”
Yeah, Yvanna, we know what's going on. You and your union thug buddies are a bunch of thugs that steal money from your members to live a very nice lifestyle while threatening business leaders, getting arrested and harassing innocent people. This is what the Mafia and other members of organized crime do and you are no different than a bunch of thug criminals. The only difference between you and a street gang is that you probably dress better.
