Boson Trash Haulers On Strike - 4th Week of Labor Action Leaves Piles of Refuse on Streets - 26 Sept 2019








Massachusetts: The ongoing labor union strike by Teamster's Local 26 has resulted in uncollected trash piling up throughout Eastern Massachusetts and the city of Boson.   Republic Waste Disposal, headquartered in nearby Marshfield, Mass, have been on strike for nearly a month. 
 

Republic Co. which employs the Teamsters from Local 26 has the contract to collect curbside trash in the City of Boson.

Mayor Marty ssWelsh a who likes to call himself a "Blue Collar Republican" regularly claims to speak for the disaffected blue collar workers in the city and across the country has said little about the labor conflict.  Mayor Welsh has, in fact, never had a job in the private sector or in any occupation that required him to use his hands or tools, or lift anything, in his life.






While he adopts a rough accent when he speaks to average people or workers, he went to expensive private schools before becoming a Boson City Councilor when his father retired and left a seat vacant.  The tony upper class neighborhood the mayor lives in has hired private non-union Uber trash haulers using their own private vehicles to remove trash from the area at night.




"The Uber trashmen are not 'scabs,' Mayor Welsh explained.  "They are private contractors who have their own businesses.  No one has crossed a labor union picket line."

Teamster union srtikers have pointed out that their are no picket lines around individual trash barrels or dumpsters.  The picket lines are at the processing facility and truck yard.  Teamster union bureaucrats have remained silent on Mayor Welsh's claims.  Many have pointed out that the labor misleaders regularly contribute to Mayor Welsh's campaigns and provide volunteers for his re-election.



Liberal Democrats on the Boson City Council have called for everyone to support the strike by cutting back on their 'carbon footprint' by consuming less and recycling more.

Councilor Ema Strickland said, "I urge people to compost their kitchen scraps and to recycle everything.  Kids in schools can glue trash to paper and call it 'art'  and paste it on their refrigerator at home.  Everyone should think about eating less.  Stop buying newspapers and magazines.  Democrats value labor union support and votes, but let's face it, workers are overpaid and that's why they overconsume.  Less is more."

Both the liberal Boson Globe, and the conservative Boson Herod have asked the public to keep buying newspapers during the strike and rather than throwing out the papers when finished reading them to line the bottoms of bird cages or something.  


Councilor Strikland was asked to leave the Teamsters strike picket line when she showed up for a photo-op on Wednesday morning, 25 September 2019.

Mayor Welsh was heartily 'booed' by the picket line rank and file workers until the labor union bureaucrats told the crowd to, "Shut up and let him speak."

Mayor Welsh Insists "Pluto is a Planet" - Liberal Democrats Denounce Science Denying

Image
Bosnon Mayor Marty Welsh has applauded one brave NASA administrator who is refusing to bow to the prevailing scientific consensus, and is risking potential ostracization or, worse still, online ridicule, for proudly declaring that “Pluto is a planet.”  "Pluto is a traditional planet, and that is what will be taught in Boson public schools," said Mayor Welsh.  Saturday, August 24, 2019 marked 13 years to the day since Pluto was demoted from having the status of a planet to being assigned that of a dwarf planet, by the International Astronomical Union (our solar system’s resident’s association of scientific fuddy-duddies).  At the end of a scientific conference, after many delegates had left,  a hot-shot young academic looking to make a name for himself 'deconstructing' what past astronomers had accomplished rigged a hasty vote to demote the planet.  People claimed that there was no way Pluto should be classified in the same category as gas giant Jup

'Islam Is Right About Gays' Leaflets Taped To Signs Around Town - Police Launch Manhunt - 28 Sept 2019

Boson, MA: Some residents are outraged that leaflets bearing the words "Islam Is Right About Gays" have been fixed to telephone poles and parking signs around the city.  One angry woman took a photo of the sign before ripping it down and bringing the leaflet to the police station to show police. "This is not 'free speech'" a visibly angry woman said.  "This is 'hate speech' aimed at both the Muslim race, and gay people." Police have said that they will see if there were any witnesses to the criminal trespassing committed when the papers were affixed to the utility poles, which are private property, and the street signs, which are owned by the city. City Councilor Ema Strickland said, "The blame for this type of hated is ultimately the fault of our Republican Mayor Welsh who is both Homophobic and Islamophobic.  Additionally this goes right to the top and I blame President Trump." Mayor Welsh said he had not seen any of
