Union Legal Thuggery, Feckless GOP — The Philadelphia Inquirer, proving blind squirrels can occasionally find nuts, carried a big, bold front-page banner headline on Feb. 26 concerning how unions are exempt from state harassment and stalking laws.
The story described how union minions followed Sarina Rose, a mom who is an executive at developers Post Brothers, heaping abuse on her at a crowded restaurant and taking photos of her children at a school bus stop.
The Inquirer was appropriately outraged.
It’s been almost a week since the story. Where has been the Republican response? The union-controlled Democrats obviously want the matter to disappear and it will unless the GOP doesn’t let it.
So where are the Republicans? Where is Gov. Tom “Gonna Lose Big” Corbett’s statement of condemnation and proposal for what should be a rather minor but overwhelmingly popular change in law the GOP-controlled legislature should have no trouble passing?
Where is their willingness to make an issue of something the union-controlled Democrats would find impossible to support yet impossible to defend?
The lack of action on what should be a no-brainer opportunity is a perfect example as to why a huge percent of the GOP constituency is apoplectic at the party leadership.
