Introducing the Homeless Picketers Union

What a brilliant cost-cutting move being used by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. By contracting out their non-essential services (picketing), the union keeps their members focused on their areas of expertise while lowering costs. Perhaps Michigan school districts should follow their lead and contract out all food service, transportation, and janitorial responsibilities. This would allow schools to focus on their primary task – education.
