gee, I thought you libs were all about Obamas civil service issue, yet here comes along a cub scout or boy scout doing his civil duty and all you can bitch about is this little boy stealing food out of the mouths of the union members family.

Did you even READ the article or did you just catch that one quote????
They did not decide to let the issue with the boy scout go (though they said they likely would). That quote was for the outside UNION person coming in to do the electrical job.
The union jobs have been the most babied during this downturn. The federal 'stimulus' money has in large part been diverted to saving GOVERNMENT and UNION jobs. Don't YOU give a rats ass about the rest of the people being laid off in the PRIVATE sector?
The very fact that these union morons are whining about a VOLUNTEER (a teenager at that) doing work for FREE as a part of a service to the community just goes to show how pathetic that particular union branch is.

Truthmatters
so in your twisted liberal view, the "someone else" who is getting paid doesn't deserve the pay....only union members
They were already doing the job, why did it make sense to lay them off just to hire someone else?

We should all be forced to buy cookies so that jobs will be created making them, and the machines to make them destroyed so it takes more workers to bake the damn things. This is called socialist utopia.
When was the union getting paid to clear the bike trail? You are making no fricking sense.

Unions are nothing like they used to be. What makes this doubly troubling is that the Union President, Andy Stern, visited the White House at least 22 times.

because the city doesn't have the money to fund the extortionist union....the city is empowered to lay them off and hire others in times of dire economic straights....if the union doesn't like it, then accept lower wages and keep your jobs...it is fucking stupid to demand the same high wages when your employer doesn't have the funds to pay you
i fail to see your bellyache in this matter, nor the unions....the city, low in funds, lays off people from the union, a VOLUNTEER decides to beatify the area by clearing up a trail....and you guys have a problem with this?
that is sick

Why do you think Saturn isn't in the tubes?
One job...its done and its over....maybe it was to replace a light switch...
you don't need a full time electrician, 40 hours a week, plus benefits to do a 30 minute job....

while the union workers sit and whine....and demand unreasonably high wages despite hard economic times....most people just go out and get another job...they don't demand they that should be paid when there is no money to pay

Allentown union official Nick Balzano has been a political punching bag all week because he threatened to file a grievance against the city for allowing a Boy Scout to clear a walking path in a city park.
Three days of taking body blows nationally from conservative pundits, a rebuke from the Lehigh Valley's congressman and even a lashing from his own union led Balzano to voluntarily resign his position Thursday as head of the local Service Employees International Union.
Balzano said he and seven other executive officers of the local SEIU stepped down.
On Wednesday, after getting hit by a steady onslaught of rights, Balzano got hit by one big left when his own union distanced itself from his comments and called Balzano's wounds self-induced.
"His comments were completely unauthorized and they do not reflect the position or views of the union," wrote area leader of the SEIU's Mid-Atlantic District Wayne MacManiman in an apology letter to Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski.
He said the union "has no intentions" of filing a grievance against the city and continues to support the efforts of voluntary organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America.

I knew you'd make a great socialist, SM.
With those advertised 99 cent McDonald's burgers we can fatten up the whole world! One government. One burger.
We'd make an excellent ticket for the '12 election.
