Sign says it all

Sign says it all

EDITOR:

For most of us who shop at the Struthers IGA, the sign on the front page of last Sunday’s Vindicator says it all (Picketers should get Real Jobs). Actually I don’t fault the pickets nearly as much as the union people who pay them.

They’re being paid to stand there holding a sign and in this economy you take what you can get. This union claims that they are engaged in “informational picketing” and yet the signs clearly and unequivocally tell customers not to shop there. If the picketing were truly “informational” the signs would say something like “This store is non-union in case you care” (most of us don’t). The goal of this union is to create as much havoc for Mr. Nemenz and his store as possible.

If they were to put him out of business, you can be sure they’d consider it a victory. Obviously it wouldn’t be a victory for those of us who shop there, the employees of the store, or the community (think Hubbard).
