Tarrant and Denton County People you have a Garbage STRIKE

[DEMDeepEllumMusic]

Just saw that Teamsters local 767 has members on strike against the contractor who does garabage pick up for multiple cities in the two counties. The local Hall is just west of Arlington in Forest Hills.

I wonder what the striker would do if I took my trash and dumped it in his front yard.

At least that way you would be doing something active about the garbage instead of thinking it is your God given right to have someone else come to your house and haul it away. JMHO.

Yeah! I'm involved! My Monday pickup didn't happen until Tuesday. My Thursday pickup happened on time, but the garbage guys left some boxes for the recycle guy that he didn't take!

Not a "God given right", but a SERVICE WE PAY FOR!

If they don't want to provide that service, who cares - it is a free market and the county can just find someone else who is willing to work for pay while the union guys argue about who is going to pay their bills with no work for them to do.

Amen to that...

I posted this because the strikers are walking picket lines at the dispatch yards and I thought if someone lived near one of them they could go out and get some shots of them on strike not to discuss if your garbage was being picked up or not.

Perhaps this thread should be moved to the PJ Forum.

Yea, yea . . . and we were trying to bump it to the top for you with some humor!
