Union Boss Tells Members: "Shut the f*ck up, you motherf*ckers!" Members React For The Same Reason Americans In The Tea Party Movement Are Reacting! Because Of Such Flagrant Dis-Respect!

I don't blame the members for reacting this way! The Union is their formal representative. Members pay the Union dues (money) for this representation. The members have every right to be pissed off when treated so offensively! This is the same kind of behavior from the Democratic party that rallied the Tea Party Movement!

The Labor Union Report writes the following:

On March 31st, NUMMI, the UAW-represented joint venture between Toyota and General Motors, will be closing its doors in California, throwing another 4,700 United Auto Workers out of work.

With 80% of the UAW members upset with their union, this past Sunday, the Union of Ailing Workplaces (aka UAW) held a membership meeting that turned into a shouting match between rank-and-file members and their union leadership.

At one point, one UAW leader (identified as Javier Contreras) yelled at the crowd, telling them to "...Shut the f*ck up, you motherf*ckers!..."

Things got so bad, that UAW leaders had to call the police to restore order.

I have taken the following from ihatebeets, the person who posted the video YouTube description:

Javier Contreras loses control at the union meeting. Don't expect class from these guys!

Javier Contreras, Bargaining Chairman of UAW Local 2244 was the union leader who incited a riot at the January 24, 2010 union meeting. The video captures him using profane language towards a displeased membership. His lack of professionalism proves that he is in no way capable of leading us through anymore failed severence negotiations! When you disrepect one of us you disrespect the entire union!

You ask...why all of the hostility? These hard working people have been waiting for thier union leadership to sit down at the table with the company to agree on a severence package. While the company has made thier offer public, no information has been given to the membership on union counter proposals. The union dues ...are being spent on lavish trips to Palm Springs rather than providing the services they pay for! Who wouldn't be angry??? [YES, INDEED!]
