After 9/11 conservatives loved firefighters. Now they’re bashing unions…which includes firefighters.

Well, they have always bashed unions, but now they have stepped up their attacks. I’m hoping that the recent assault on unions will create a backlash that will over ride every anti-union law in the country (ie Taft Hartley being repealed).
Notice the alacrity with which police beat and pepper-spray demonstrators in the streets agitating for livable wages, paid parental leave, etc., then turn to their union for support in defending against brutality complaints.
