I am confused by the "Same on ........ business" banners we see all over Albuquerque. I am very pro-labor, but I thought I remembered seeing or reading that these aren't real labor disputes, but…Continue

On guns: today in the Journal the article about the assalt rifles for BCSO deputies. I am of many minds when I read this. First: great, now the BCSO deputies will be on equal footing as the…Continue

Tyler McCormick replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"While I agree that the "Shame On..." signs represent an unfortunate and terrible side of today's unions, the labor dispute you are looking for is in the continued plight of the Migrant farm workers who have absolutely no rights or…"
Lebowski replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"Right, because I've never been called a fascist (which is funny because most actual fascists have been left wing), tea bagger, repuke, racist (which is even funnier considering that 100% of segregationist politicians in this country were…"
Lebowski replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"Charles, the problem is that the left isn't actually progressive, functionally. It just happens to be what you call yourselves, so I use the moniker that seems to be the preferred over liberal these days. Liberal isn't really descriptive…"
Lebowski replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"These people personify the evil of unions. I challenge one of you pro union progressives to present an example of a legitimate labor dispute in the last 20 years. By legitimate, I mean something the average and reasonable person would consider…"
David Cameron replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"The cited ABQ Journal letter to the editor at the bottom of page 8 of the 2009 thread seems the clearest explanation of the "Shame On..." signs. If I was a business owner being picketed I'd have copies of this letter on hand to…"
RunLikeADog replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"There was nothing disrespectful in how I interacted with them. But of course, you probably wouldn't believe that either."
RunLikeADog replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"I engaged some of these protestors when they stationed themselves outside of one of my favorite eateries. They would not answer any questions, told me they were hired to picket and handed me a dirty, grease stained flyer that stated the business had…"
Samara replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"when those guys were outside sunflower market last year, i asked a cashier, and she said that group had nothing to do with sunflower employees. i'm not sure what it's about, but i don't think it's a legit labor dispute"
Mike Horrell replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"About 18 months ago, they were picketing a church on Montanyo. When interviewed,
the minister had absolutely no idea why they were there and had never received any
communication from the Union. Eventually they disbursed and it was speculated…"
Lebowski replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"I know...its totally weird. It never occured to me that the union might just be some evil machine that extorts workers and companies for money and power. Really?
Im just glad these guys are operating in plain sight. They disgust me..."
Craig Collins replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"Let Me get this right the Union hires NON union people to protest that Non union people were hired to work? My head is spinning"
Constant Weeder replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"I wonder about that as well. One reason that I find it confusing, it seems that the banners I have been seeing appear after the construction has taken place. It is almost like "crying wolf" -- that if a serious labori issue were to…"
Constant Weeder replied to Constant Weeder's discussion "Shame on ........" banners in front of businesses, what's up?"Thanks, that was helpful. I knew this would be the place to ask. So now I guess the best thing to do is go ask one of the banner holders on the corner of Central and Carlisle and see what their issue is and then decide. And yes, very fiesty…"

I am confused by the "Same on ........ business" banners we see all over Albuquerque. I am very pro-labor, but I thought I remembered seeing or reading that these aren't real labor disputes, but people trying to get money from the business owner. I tried googling to see if I could find the original article about it, but couldn't find anything on the banners in ABQ. Does anyone know the real story here? I thought the loyal readers of Duke City Fix would know for sure!See More
Constant Weeder replied to Trevor Branch's discussion Chicken pluckers in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"One more thing on chicken harvesting: read the true story of Mike the Headless Chicken from Colorado! Make a good clean cut or well, just Google Mike etc and read the story. They even have a great little festival in Fruita to celebrate his…"
