I am enjoying the pile-driving going on right now b/c it drowns out the Marriott strikers outside the Westin.
The strike is beyond obnoxious. Banging on drums all day is accomplishing what?
Pretty ignorant comment right here. Nice work
Are you going to answer the question...what has the drum banging accomplished? Why not go to the table and civilly negotiate. What are the residents at Flats on D going to do about their issue? They have to listen to that 12 hours per day.
As for "accomplishment" that remains to be seen.
https://www.bostonglobe.com/busines...ill-talking/RYxncLliwBhXZOaGLPtahI/story.htmlThe contract in Detroit was ratified with “historic progress on crucial issues” such as wages, health care, benefits, and working conditions, according to Unite Here AFL-CIO Local 24, the union representing about 150 workers.

From same Globe article.Local 26 [in Boston] is scheduled to sit down with Marriott in the next week, Lang said.
The flats on d are right across the damn street from the bcec. I wouldn't call that a residential neighborhood I'd call it the city. Obviously you are bothered by the picket lines, I can sympathize with that as I'm sure it's annoying.... but suck it up I dont know what whining on a message board does to relieve that. Misery does love company I guess
I do agree that unions are fucked. They are getting gakked politically, financially and via worker apathy. I disagree that they are unneeded. All the rights, wage and safety protections that were fought for over the years WILL be clawed back as soon as unions are out of the way. It's going to get ugly.
Again...they could have litigated outside of the public side walks and in a board room. Stop blocking the side walk. I also have heard from a few residents at Flats on D that say they are woken up at 6am by this nonsense. Its a residential neighborhood, why should residents have to listen to this. Sure everyone would love to go complain about their job but not in a residential neighborhood.
