They’ve been caught time and time again using the poor and homeless to do the jobs their own members won’t do for themselves. The Carpenters’ union has a history of hiring the homeless to march around in circles, chanting for union wages, benefits and pensions, things they don’t receive from the union.
How does the union justify this rank hypocrisy? It’s all for a good cause, explains Craig Wright, an organizer for the Texas Carpenters & Millwrights Regional Council:
Leo Wren started about three years ago. “They gave me an opportunity when I really need an opportunity,” he said.
“People support AIDS research,” Wright said. “They support cancer research. Yet you don’t have to have AIDS or cancer to support those things. These guys don’t have to be carpenters to support a good cause.”

Unions and their sycophantic corruptocrats exploit the poor. And dog bites man. Stories at 11.
Proper grammar saves lives.

Well, at least it's the minimum wage...[because they had to] nt.

Tape Measures?
dnha14 Monday, December 6th at 4:14PM EST (link)These guys are all around downtown all the time. Problem is that if even one of them had the appearance of being able to read a tape measure, they might actually have some credibility. Until then, it’s a clown show.
