Our quote of the day comes from none other than Ironworkers Local 401 Business Manager Joe Dougherty. When asked to comment on the beating of two non-union construction workers with baseball bats while waiting to work on a picketed union construction site, he offered, “They are insinuating that because we were picketing there, we were involved in this,” Dougherty said, presumably with a straight face, “but we definitely were not.” And now the line that will cause union members to spit out their cofee with laughter this morning; “We’re not picketing the non-union guys. They have to make a living, too.” Somehow, I see future employment for these thugs if card-check ever comes to fruition. Link to story here.
