One Man's Heaven is Another Man's Hell

One man's heaven is another's hell--Today in Minneapolis 15 security guards are out of a job, and the American Dream is now a nightmare. The corporate bougeyman replaced these guards with another outfit that is "just trying to get bye". This new outfit is a union company, so it puts the security guard union(SEIU Local 26) in the position of a rock and a hard place. In this situation we have the good guys versus each other, but what about the folks who don't have a job today? I watched the corporate culture just look at the changing of the guard as a evryday notion while the people who greeted and protected the premises the day before were just out of sight and out of mind!! Collateral damage for the workingman and workingwoman all of this is really bullshit(pardon my language) What was really going on was the management aws lashing back at the gurds who had stood up for the right to have a union job as well as a fair work enviroment, healthcare and a living wage. All this deeply concerns me and in the words of the late great Marvin Gaye, "makes me wanna holla" All power to the people"
