Watch: Farm Representative Punches A Union Organizer Right In The Face
A consultant from the North Carolina Growers Association, a group that provides workers who come to the U.S. from countries like Mexico on visas to work on a seasonal basis, was caught on camera punching a labor organizer in the face last week. According to Buzzfeed, the fight started after the liaison for the growers association, Paul Saffle, read aloud the names of workers he said had applied for benefits through a union group, the Farm Labor Organizing Committee.
The Farm Labor Organizing Committee, which is a division of the AFL-CIO, has been advocating for changes to working conditions for the people who have worked through the North Carolina Growers Association over the past several years.
Buzzfeed reports:
While Saffle was reading the names, he was approached by Oscar Sanchez, an organizer for FLOC, who first attempted to correct Saffle’s pronunciation of the one of the worker’s names, but then pressed the issue further.
“What are you going to fix, man? What are you going to fix?” Sanchez said, based on a translation of the video by BuzzFeed.
That’s when Saffle threw the punch, landing square on Sanchez’s right cheek.
“It’s clear that you were threatening me,” Saffle said.
“I didn’t threaten you,” Sanchez responded. “I’m relaxed.”

It is the subsidized agribusiness fat ass bosses who live like welfare queens, AnonumousDearDouchenozzle. If the fat ass agribusiness execs do go to pound-you-in-the-azz prison where they belong they would be jumping out of the frying pan and into a deserved career as a chubby jailhouse beey0tch.

Are you kidding me?
Those union bosses could only wish they lived like the CEOs of the non-union businesses and corporations who you gladly give your money to.

Pleanty of reason to call the teachers unions thugs, just look at Chicago’s union President Karen Lewis while slopping at the public trough and demanding higher wages, benefits while test scores drop to historic low levels:
Chicago Public Schools officials revealed Tuesday that only 52.5 percent of the district’s elementary students met or exceeded state academic standards in the last school year. That’s a nearly 22-percentage-point plunge from a year earlier.
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-07-17/opinion/ct-edit-schools-20130717_1_common-core-curriculum-cps-test-scores-chicago-public-schools
But using Chicago Children as human shields to further socialist/communist causes were the daily thuggish practice when they weren’t getting their way:
A grade schooler took the stage and addressed a crowd of more than one thousand Chicago teachers, local politicians, and an assortment of communist, socialists, and other radicals protesting the upcoming closure of more than 50 Chicago schools. The child, a student at one of the schools scheduled to be closed, blasted Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in a speech that lasted several minutes and largely parroted the positions
held by the Chicago Teachers Union.

Fat boy punches like a little limp-wrist sissy. I can see he never boxed or did martial arts. He abrely moved the guy his punch was so weak. :)

Best place for him to learn how to fight is jail. Hopefully that’s where he ends up.

I agree! Good point!

Indicative, I guess, of the tension around jobs, immigration and a weak labor market. Ironic it seems as one side represents “legal” (and very much needed) migrant labor and the other seeking to organize this vital sector. I mean aren’t they both on the same side of the issue? Why are they fighting instead of collaborating?
