    You can bet he didn't get it from MSNBC. And you're not going to read or see much about it either. The web is in the process of scrubbing this/these stories. VIDEO is being deleted...video that would confirm the actions that have taken place.

    Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia all have had crews slowed because of the union tactics.

    They may not have been turned away. But they #### sure were delayed long enough, they were sent elsewhere.

     
    Taildragon Thanks this.

    Thanks for this post danc694u.
    Well, now I am more frustrated than I was, I couldn't get much volume out of my laptop during the interview, I had the speaker against my ear and could still only catch about a third of what was said. I have trouble hearing the speakers all the time, I'm going to have to figure out how to remedy that, our old desktop had volume buttons that you could turn up and it would get really loud, these laptops say 100% and I still can't hear them, I feel like I don't know anymore than I did, except that some crews from Georgia and Florida were turned away also.

    How long have you had the laptop, and has this been an issue since purchase? Both my laptops can hit a high enough volume to cause my neighbor to complain. Especially my HP running Beats audio (has a small subwoofer mounted on the bottom of the system, heh heh heh.)

    fact checker or one of those sites has debunked the rumour nonunion electricians are alive and well and restoring power in NJ

    A fisherman friend with his chainsaw has been with a crew of 6 from Seattle WA clearing ahead of thier path
    they lol when they heard the union story
    This I know is true as I spoke to my friend

    God Bless the men from around the country restoring power to the east coast
