Has it Come to This? Unions Striking Against Unions?

Unions in America have finally arrived at farce. Yes, they have become a parody of themselves because now we have an example of a union being formed so that it can strike against… its own union. Confused? Don’t blame you.
From the Associated Press we get this tale of high comedy, this story of brother fighting brother and sister cat fighting with sister: Union employees form their own union, then strike.
The workers who help the Oregon Education Association file grievances and negotiate new contracts went on strike Monday against the union they represent.
Isn’t this a little bit like an army turning on itself because, well, they are armed, too?
Apparently, the “Oregon Education Association Professional Staff Organization” has organized its 42 members so that they can strike against the OEA that was offering them a new contract, one that featured rollbacks in some benefits.
Let’s face it, none of us here care much about the particulars. Couldn’t care less whether this spin off union wins loses or draws here. It’s just a darn funny story that a union has split off from a union in order to strike against itself!
Seriously. You can’t write comedy this funny.

Great piece. This gets funnier and funnier. Not only are these unions, but unions that “represent” government employees, employees attached to the public school system.
The entire left appears to be coming apart at the seams.
All we will have to do is watch as they feed on themselves.
Predictable.
