Will ‘shocking acts of violence’ by unions go unpunished?

WaEx-

Nearly four years ago, two officers of Iron Workers Local 395 allegedly led a savage assault on tradesmen employed at a church-owned construction site in northwestern Indiana. Their aim was to convert the union-free project into a union-only one.

During the assault, union goons allegedly threw to the ground Scott Kudingo, an employee of the Cary, Illinois-based firm D5 Iron Works Inc. They then began “clubbing, kicking, and punching” him “in the face, arms, back, and body.”

Kudingo’s jaw was “shattered in part” and broken in “two other places.” At least some of the union toughs who kicked him in the face and back are believed to have been wearing “steel-toe boots.”

Evidence gathered by the police immediately after the incident in January 2016, in Dyer, Indiana, shows that top officers of Local 395, based in Portage, Indiana, participated in the attack. Witnesses identified union President Jeffrey Veach, union business agent Thomas Williams and roughly 10 accomplices as those who attacked D5 Iron Works tradesmen.

Moreover, prosecutors plan to present evidence placing the union defendants at the scene of the attack based on their own cell phone location records, via the testimony of an expert witness.

Within the next few weeks, Veach and Williamson are expected to be tried in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division, on charges of conspiracy to commit extortion and attempted extortion. more here

  2. We were at a job in Flint once and a union goon showed up and started making threats. A fella I worked with, Billy, a very good sized but extremely docile fella didn’t like it when he came up to him. Billy grabbed him with one hand by the collar, escorted him out of the building and threw him down a muddy drainage ditch. He told the guy he was trespassing and if he came back again he would be angry and you wouldn’t want him angry. We expected a bunch of goons to show up to confront us or vandalize the job but nothing happened.

  3. If these turds go unpunished by the legal system it’d be a shame.

    However, if one of them disappears while going home from his cushy union job one afternoon it’d send a very clear message.
