Unions Protesting Churches

Unions are dying.  Even without looking at actual union membership you can tell they're dying because of stuff like this:
Unions have stepped to a new low by protesting churches in California. Protesting churches because of their use of private contractors instead of union labor. Churches who only employ one or two pastors and one head administrator and operate off of donations.

In Bakersfield, California the local carpenters union is protesting the Grace Baptist Church for hiring a contractor who hired non-union labor. Grace Baptist Church had no control over who the contractor hired. You would think the local carpenters union would take a pass at protesting a church, but I guess not. Though the church greeted the protesters with water, coffee, cookies and candy. Do they feel bad for standing in front of a church with a “Shame On the Grace Baptist Church”? No.
There's some video of the protest here. It's hard to believe that unions would be so incredibly tone-deaf to assume that holding a protest of a church would be a good PR move.  But they are.

Speaking of bad PR, do you recall that the Teamsters broke Caesar Chavez's United Farmworkers' strike? Are you keeping tabs on SEIU? Have you heard of the forced unionization of thousands of Michigan daycare workers?

Nothing like the GOONS of bygone years, they are still around today.
