Really? A "newspaper" that calls the utility Con Edison is a credible source? Quoting one random guy who hauled transformers, but can't tell you where the transformers came from?

I'm pretty disgusted that so many people are using Hurricane Sandy as an excuse to smear unions. Who do you think the first responders are?

And the corollary -- what is it about unions in general that make these stories so credible?

I guess the only connection I can think of is that you were taught by public school teachers and yet lack critical reading ability.

Lol. Chill out and wipe the foam off of your mouth, I just posted the article since its relevant to this thread but since we're here let me ask you why the paper loses credibility because of using "Con Edison"? I googled it and it looks like the company that supplies power to that region is named.....Con Edison.

Also, it's not rare for truckers not to know who owns or is buying the cargo they haul especially independent or contract drivers. Most drivers don't even load the trucks, just get the manifest or B/L then take off.

Mea Culpa. That's the term people use around here to disparage Com Ed.
