Union thugs...

From the decerters’ FAQ webpage:

Decerters’ question: A couple of SPEEA folks came to my house and I was intimidated and felt threatened. Who can I report this intimidation to?

Decerters’ answer: Report the incident to the authorities like [a list of organizations, the decerters themselves included, that can’t do anything about stopping reported intimidation]

My answer: I find it difficult to believe that the SPEEA representatives making housecalls would be intimidating or threatening, with or without intent. I mean, it’s not like the union folks visiting WTPU members are argumentative, arrogant a$$holes like me or anything.

But if anyone truly feels intimidated by a SPEEA member’s behavior in promoting our union, they shouldn’t bother writing to the decerters or their Nat’l Right to Work Foundation consultants. Instead, they should contact some “authorities” that actually have real “authority” to do something about stopping it.

The first contact I would make would be the SPEEA office (call 682-0262). Ask for Bob Brewer or Deb Shepard or any of the other folks working there, tell them about the threats, and then hand the telephone over to the intimidating SPEEA rep in your house. Shortly thereafter, you’ll get two things from the SPEEA visitor... your phone returned and a humble and sincere apology for their apparently offensive behavior.

If a contrite apology from a SPEEA rep now missing half their butt isn’t enough to soothe your fears, you should then contact the only other “authority” who could do anything about threats and intimidation (call 911) and have them and their half-assed behavior hauled outta your place in handcuffs.



Decerters’ question: A couple of SPEEA folks came to my house and I was intimidated and felt threatened. How does the union know where I live?

Decerters’ answer: We do not know how SPEEA was able to obtain your address.

My answer: If I had to guess, I’d assume SPEEA obtained the employees’ home mail addresses from the same source that the decerters obtained our work e-mail addresses: from employer records.

The difference is that SPEEA would have received the lists directly from official company sources while the decerters stole acquired this “company information” from access they have to it as a course of their jobs.



-- Bill, who’s quite willing to represent them, should they be called into an investigation for violating the employer’s “misuse of company data” policy...
