It is hard for me to say this, but the unions in San Francisco, in particular, are seriously evil.
This picture does not tell the story. These people appear to be picketing a retail mattress store.
None of this is true.
This is not a picket line of employees complaining about employment conditions. These are people paid by a local union to picket.
The business they are picketing has a retail store on the first floor to sell mattresses that are made on the second and third floor and in other locations. The retail and manufacturing business, McRoskey, has been in business for 112 years.
The mattress business has been growing recently as its sales expand with an expanding interest on the part of Americans in their sleep and as they have good experiences sleeping in hotels.
The increased number of employees at McRoskey’s is what triggered the attention of a local union. There has been no interest among employees in unionization in 112 years.
This just infuriates me.
Build a local business that is successful enough to last more than a century and then find that some left wing union activists..... claim to know what your employees need. And they try to hurt your business by driving away customers.
