Dear Yous, We da Mob, Would Like to Protect Yous From Us, For a Small Fee

If you've ever watched a TV series about mafia or a movie rotating around the criminal families, you've probably seen the "protection" scheme, where the mobsters collect protection money from local businessmen to not be harassed by the mob. You may have also noted that there are often storylines revolving around the mob involvement in union activities. Well, no more. Now the Union IS the mob, and unabashedly so.

Wisconsin unions have sent a "friendly" letter to their neighborhood businesses expressing their "disappointment" that they didn't post signs the unions gave them to support the union. In fact, the unions are so disappointed, they're threatening to boycott the stores. However, if the owner reconsiders their stance, they might get some business instead of a public boycott.

I love it when I hear liberals on talk shows express their disappointment at people demonizing unions by calling them thugs. Guess what, they are thugs. I'm only surprised that they have the gall to put their shakedown tactics in a letter for all to see. That and that it wasn't signed "Vinny".
