I bet those people in gated communities had their driveways plowed. Faux’s strategy is to start some infighting among the workers.

This story is incredible, since several people died due to the roads not being cleared for EMS. If true, I think criminal charges need to be filed for these dealths. Imagine how those families feel.

This link shows how clear the head of the sanitation’s street is compared to others if you need any proof:

A Tale of Two Streets

Jon, I’m just curious why you chose to make this about FOX news. Is it just to rile up the FDS’ers? Are you suggesting they are pushing a non-story because they are FOX. Pretty lame in my humple opinion.

This is not unfathomable, that it would occur initially I mean. But to extrapolate it out and say it’s coming everywhere, please. Unions as institutions suck, but this notion of union workers as greedy thugs is just wrong.

Obama could talk to the union guys , in between vacations . Those are his people . He would probably tell them : Slow down , it’s just government work .

10 percent called in sick??
So worker were called to cover for the “sick”……means lots of double time pay and other amazing union perks like travel time pay……and a slew of costly excess!!!
Investigate and prosecute!!!!

There must already be infighting among the workers if 3 of them snitched on the Union Boss.

Those 3 should be in a Witness Protection program!

I find it disgusting that people are dead, capital crimes may have been committed, but these supposed ‘whistle-blowers’ who talked to the city councilman from Whitestone will only make these allegations under the veil of anonymity. How are we ever supposed prosecute what is alleged to be a massive criminal conspiracy against the people of NYC if we have to rely zero evidence and only the word of anonymous witnesses?

Even people in gated communities may need services. What if an extremely-ultra-rich-executive-who-made-his-(or her…see Carly Fiorina)-fortune-by-closing-factories-and-shipping-the-jobs-overseas-while-taking-a-back-dated-stock-option had a medical emergency? It’s unlikey that the gated community would have an in-house hospital with around-the-clock medical care. Said individual would have to depend on an ambulance being able to get to said g.c AND convey the aforementioned plutocrat to a functioning medical facility…just like everybody else.

The unions outside are spiteful,
And snow plows are sitting idle,
Cause the workers want much more dough,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…..

Anyone who would believe this fake story would believe Mafia/Union corruption and murder and arson..

Oh, that’s right. Never mind…….

YES CRUCIFY THE UNIONS!!!! ha ha you righties are fuckin dipshits.,.,he “heard it”, so that makes it so. Does “he” have a name? Obama needs to haul all you retards into the fema camps already! lol, thats the plan right?

glen beck says to forgive and forget, like the native american holocaust that was perpetuated at the hands of our distinguished founders.

do you righties enjoy a 40hr work week,overtime pay,sick pay,family leave,work provided h.c insurance,.etc?….You wouldn’t have those things if it wasn’t for unions collectivizing the bargaining power of workers. I know fucking commies right! Yes the unions have some ghosts in the closet, most of the corruption came from outside organizations like the mafia who infiltrate the group. But, you can find just as many examples of corruption in the private sector. If you believe their is a remedy for corruption, I’ve got a villa on the gulf coast I can sell you.

FNC… Where speculation finds favor and resultant implication dangles recklessly… 24 hour outrage machine reaching out to the gray-white solitary blobs be-scootered with egg salad stains and pill boxes. Viva la revolucion de FOX.

Now, now. Why don’t you go get some cookies and juice and then settle down with your bankie for a nice nap. Nobody likes to be around cranky little boys.

This was due to union thugs trying to hold NYC hostage.

LOL

So the unions gave that to the workers?

That’s funny because every benefit you get is paid by the Company, not the union.

And unions are doing America such a great thing that fully 13% of all workers belong to a union and the majority of those are in the public sector, which is nowbankrupting cities, states and the country.

A Holiday…and a Sunday…City workers hit the jackpot.
Mix in 10 percent calling in sick….and the added cost of workers called in to fill in for the “sick”..;)
The taxpayers of NYC paid 5X for this half-ass snow job!!!

first off the unions are the workers,

“every benefit you get is paid by the Company, not the union.”
*slams head on keyboard* very good scooter.

you thank your buddy reagan for only 13% union workforce. As far as unions bankrupting states, I think your painting with a rather broad brush on that one scooter,

Only 13%, child.

I was so happy when RR fired the air traffic controllers.

They were union trash violating their own contract.

And yes, son, the company PROVIDES YOU WITH EVERTHING YOU GET- the union- nothing!

“As far as unions bankrupting states, I think your painting with a rather broad brush on that one scooter,”

LOL

I guess you are unaware of the record states’ pension liabilities.

That’s OK- you are a union man who doesn’t care what the unions destroy.

nrgetick said:

Darn!!! Foiled again!!!!!!!!!!!

@Pops……”And yes, son, the company PROVIDES YOU WITH EVERTHING YOU GET!”

no shit sherlock. The sole purpose of a union is to be a intermediary between business and the workforce.

“I guess you are unaware of the record states’ pension liabilities”

Dont worry, pension owners got some great subprime mortgage assets in return for 800billion of bail out money that your buddies bush and paulson orchestrated. Must be nice to have your cake and eat it too.

btw im not union. Used to be some years ago

You just don’t get it do you. When an organization is run by public funding, it should be incumbant upon them to take extra precautions against graft and corruption.

Living in the midwest as I do, when a major snow storm hits you grab your own shovel and start scooping.

It happens…

I like this Brian Sullivan guy better than Cavuto pompous ass.

leave it to faux news to start crap with the unions….faux news will never say who the person was that they got this info from…faux news sucks……………..

Lets also remember NYC Mayor Bloomberg is anti-car.
If he had his way he would ban all cars from Manhattan and line the street with potted plants and picnic tables.

I LOVE seeing union hacks laid off because of the economy that Obama ruined. They don’t know what to do with themselves. “I LOVE Liberalism…wait…I don’t have a job…I HATE Liberalism…wait…I’m inbred to LOVE Liberalism…wait…Hahahaha at laid-off Lib unon hacks.

I can’t help but notice that the libs are avoiding the actual topic of this thread like the plague. Here’s another tragedy resulting from the streets not being cleared for you to ignore:

Storm’s baby nightmare

A 3-month-old Queens boy was left brain dead last night after snow-clogged routes prevented medics from reaching him quickly — and unplowed streets later forced the EMS workers to ditch their ambulance and sprint with the ailing baby to the hospital.

As little Addison Reynoso hovered at death’s door, a priest performed last rites, and his family considered pulling him off life support.

The baby’s heartbroken father fumed at the city’s lax clean-up response to last weekend’s monster blizzard.

“Clean the streets,” Luis Reynoso said, “because that’s why the ambulance came too late.”

Fact: Unions pentions going broke needing tax payer bailouts!

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303491304575188263180553530.html

Fact: Karl Marx wrote that the capitalist state is set up to manage the common affairs of the capitalist class. This fact is evident today as Republicans and Democrats hastily put aside their manufactured election year differences in order to legislate the bailout plans being concocted by the Treasury and the Fed.

The working class, long subject to the divisive prejudices deliberately sown among us by the ruling class, must unite in our own common class interest and take the offensive against the capitalist class.

Private ownership of the means of production is at the root of this deepening economic crisis. The abolition of private property and the development of socialism can provide the way out of this crisis, and ensure that the kind of economic suffering this crisis has wrought never occurs again.

While the abolition of private property sounds like a daunting task, the reality is that the ruling class has already laid the foundations for its own demise.

By organizing billions of workers into a vast productive network, where everything from the extraction of raw materials to the sale of the final commodity is linked, the ruling class has already socialized the productive capacity of society. An organized army of workers already has the reins to the productive apparatus.

In this period of extreme economic crisis, the capitalist class would find itself in even bigger trouble in the face of concerted and well-organized strikes, walkouts, plant takeovers and militant resistance to the banks that are seizing our homes. A united working class could quickly bring the vast machinations of global capitalism to a screeching halt.

In the coming period, which will be marked by ever-increasing economic instability, it is incumbent upon the entire revolutionary left to do everything possible to help foster militant working-class solidarity and to renew and reenergize the global class struggle. There is a world to win.

So 3 people died in America’s largest populated city because EMS couldn’t save them during a horrendous blizzard,. one newborn infant, one 3month old infant, and one 75 yo elderly lady. Who’s to say they wouldn’t have died anyhow?

What’s sad is people like you using these people’s personal tragedies for political purposes.

I wonder how many people EMS weren’t able to save in Chicago or Los Angeles during the same days.
