A year and three months without a contract and they pick this Friday to strike. Not last year's Belmont when there was no triple crown on the line, but now they are fed up! Unions wonder why so many people are tired of this nonsense. This is extortion by the union, nothing more or less.

They are rank amateurs compared to the big 3 banks that did pretty much the same thing the gate crew are doing. "Give us the money now or the world ends."

Hell yes it's the right time to get it done. Get what you can. There's plenty of fine wares in the cabins of the Titanic.

That explains why the concession workers were told to dress as Pinkertons on Saturday.

Looks like the Union is feeling a bit of heat from this misguided threat.
