San Antonio sent 26 trucks and crews. I heard they were re-routed mid trip. I wonder if this is the reason.  Came here to post that. I am sick of hearing the clip with the lady crying "Where is the government? We need help". Deadliest words/thought process. This event has FINALLY got my wife to agree to some modest prepping. It's for the children.  Deadly indeed. I've never once thought the government should come help me with ANYTHING. After the tornadoes in AL last year, my girlfriend decided that maybe I wasn't so crazy for prepping.

This will work out in our favor in the long term. When it's made very clear to those who had to sit in the dark and wait for so long, that their wait was so long because non-union workers from other states who came to help were not permitted to help simply because they were not part of the corrupt union, it will turn some of them against union monopoly rules. CJ no really it won't those idiots are so union brainwashed they will be all in for it. fuck new jersey. next time i hope we keep our people at home. |

Quoted: At least the job will be done right unlike the scabs Yeah, those untrained scabs from AL had no problem restoring power to the Huntsville/Madison area in April 2011 after the main transmission line towers were ripped from the ground about a mile from my house. My power was restored within 5 days and I live in the county. Huntsville was restored a couple of days before my area. But they were only scabs, I should expect my house to explode any day now I guess.

I have lived in Michigan my whole life. Unions have controlled almost everything. Our economy is about as bad as it gets and 99% of the problem is directly related to the unions. On the ballot this year are 6 major proposals just about all of them involve the unions getting more power and control, fucking ridicules.

Ironic that one of the "Non Union crews turned away from NJ" was in fact unionized.
The whole story is pretty typical, a few union goons say shit at a staging area and people think the power company actually gives a fuck. In the meantime while the power company people are running around with thier hair on fire trying to send people places they find out that they only need 100 crews, but have 120 so they send the extra crews to another area that needs 150 crews but has 30. It happens every time we have a major power outage, but rarely becomes national news. |

FNC was saying at lunchtime, that the State of NJ said this was not true, that they were sent away because "they were not needed there." They did not respond to the question, of "then why didn't you send them to where they werer needed?" Wonder why?
Hope they enjoy the dark and cold... "when you are sitting in the dark, cold, and hungry......" Thank NJ? |

Here in Los Angeles we have the new Merto Expo train going in. Downtown to the sea. Great improvement to the area. Lots of jobs on the system and during construction they said. Same problem as you have in NY, only union workers need apply. Some jobs program! People out of work don't have a spare $1500 entry dues nor the connections to get in either union. |

Too bad it appears to be all bullshit....
Link Relevant portion of the story Two other Alabama utilities were initially mentioned by a Huntsville (Ala.) television station in a story reporting that non-union crews had been turned aside.
One of those, Trinity, Ala.-based Joe Wheeler, was never in New Jersey and is unionized, its CEO, George Kitchens, said this morning. Eight Wheeler workers were instead dispatched to Maryland before the storm hit and have completed their work there, company spokeswoman Mandi Phillips said. "We are headed back home," she said. "We were never turned away." Bill Yell, communications manager for Huntsville Utilities, said he was not aware a union issue had prevented three of that company’s crews from working in New Jersey. Huntsville originally sent two three-man bucket crews and one three-man pole-setting crew to Seaside Heights, but that all nine had since been dispatched to Long Island, Yell said. "The reason we're not working with the New Jersey system is that they had all the crews they could handle," he said. The fact that those crews are not unionized did not have any effect, he said. "They didn't have any problems with us," he said. |

You know... When the city I live in got bitch slapped by TWO back to back hurricanes in the span of a few weeks, power crews from ALL OVER came to help, and they were welcomed with open arms.
Crews even came from CANADA. Nobody gave a shit if they were affiliated with any union. (Nobody even gave a shit if they weren't even Americans). We were GRATEFUL they came to help out. People put up signs everywhere, telling them "Thank You"...And people brought them food / drinks while they worked. Working fire rescue, I come into contact with local power crews on a regular basis because of downed power lines, etc. (During the hurricanes, I came into contact with ALOT of power crews). The local Florida Power and Light crews were greatful for the help from other states, and other countries.... Of course...Florida is a right to work state, though. |
