I don't think anyone honestly believes that they are concerned about the environmental impact of the runway relocation -- the SEIU just wants to be paid off, it's a simple extortion racket.

Hmmmm, I wonder if RICO can be applied to unions...

Nothing like shooting yourself in BOTH feet before you pop them in your mouth. I bet the lawyers are loving this. Do unions employ their own teams of lawyers or are they outsourced?

They complain about air quality by the airport, yet they have no problem being employed there and accepting a paycheck from them. Don't they have a tree to hug, bunch of liberals?
