Unions - Still Classy

Check out the flier I was handed today on the streets of Brookline:




A local electrical worker's union was handing it out. Beth Israel is a fine hospital, and the tactic here is pretty underhanded. The back of the flier is a list of doctors at the hospital who have paid malpractice claims. This has nothing to do with hiring non-union electricians of course. It's just an intimidation/retribution tactic. The mad scientist picture is a nice touch.

It would be amusing if Beth Israel put out a flier of its own. Perhaps it could get a list of union members, and cross reference to public records for arrests and criminal convictions. Statistically, there are bound to be a few hits. "Is your electical contractor hiring criminals? Are there criminals in your living room? Or in your childrens' bedrooms!?!?"
