Typical union mentality from SEIU: No, we didn't do the work but we still want to be paid.

SEIU is full of Obama fanboys, too... what a coinkydink!

An Eagle Scout Candidate volunteered several hundred hours to clear a hiking path in a city park. In return the SEIU threatens to file a grievance against the city!!!

As unions go, the SEIU is the scummiest in the country. But this displays the entitlement mentality- they were "entitled" to the work, and that Boy Scout was obviously evil for taking the work from them, and the town was obviously evil for allowing him to do it.


Nick Balzano, president of the local Service Employees International Union, told Allentown City Council Tuesday that the union is considering filing a grievance against the city for allowing Anderson to clear a 1,000-foot walking and biking path at Kimmets Lock Park.

"We'll be looking into the Cub Scout or Boy Scout who did the trails," Balzano told the council.

Balzano said Saturday he isn't targeting Boy Scouts. But given the city's decision in July to lay off 39 SEIU members, Balzano said "there's to be no volunteers." No one except union members may pick up a hoe or shovel, plant a flower or clear a walking path.


I like the typical SEIU thuggish language- they will be "looking in to" the Boy Scout.

But, it seems this is not the first time! Looking for a link I found where another union also had a grievance against a Boy Scout for “stealing work”

In this case the union actually demanded to be compensated for the work the Boy Scouts did! Thats right, they didn't do the work, didn't know it was done, but when they found out they wanted to be paid for it!

Is there anybody with any integrity left in unions? There clearly is not anyone with any integrity left in their leadership, but the lemmings still follow and pay the dues...

As far as the town goes, if they can get volunteers to maintain the parks, that is the responsible way to go with the taxpayers money- unless you are a union leech looking for an entitlement job.
