      • Coffee says:

    • Kunta says:

  3. MAKE MY DAY says:

    I’m surprised to see ALL those OBA folks “show-up”…. Especially after ALL the verbal crap they have to take from these people!!!

    • Ian says:

      Which part of it was a lie?

    • Coffee says:

      I did notice a few people with frowns turned upside down ! I know I know , but that’s the way I wanted to say it .. For Christ sake !

    • IMJUSTHONEST says:

      the faces got just what they deserved !!! goooooooo EWART!!!! Get em

    Most of these people seem to be from the older generation because younger folk no longer fall for union stuff. The BIU will clearly be in trouble unless they can attract some new blood. You need younger members.

    • Kunta says:

      Most of de younger people are the ones who have been Bamboozled, de older ones experienced de hardship and fought and struggled so de younger people could have a better life.
      But de younger people will realize sooner or later that all that their for fathers fought for will be snatched from under their feet and that may be too late.

  5. Hurricane says:

    “These people”………..talk about verbal crap! SMH

  6. Raw Onion says:

    Did the union request local wait staff to serve them?

  7. Triangle Drifter says:

    Cream of the crop alright. The elite. Were any of the W&E road gangs there? How about trash truck crews?

    CF looks like he was really struggling to put on a smile.

    • Kunta says:

      Trying to sow seeds of discourse aint gonna work mate and even if you didn’t see who you would’ve liked to see, when de drums start beating they will be visible and then you would be still B1?ching about them. So your shallow observation of interest has been exposed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      Sorry Charlie
      LMFAO

  8. OBA never again says:

    The more the OBA hate crew talks crap, the more they self destruct their own party. Please keep it up, so people like me can use you for your energy and not vote for you again.

    • ??? says:

      Seems to me the majority of these comments are from PLP bloggers.

    • What says:

      LIKE YOU VOTED FOR THE OBA, YOUR NOT WISE ENOUGH !! YOU TALK ABOUT SELF DESTRUCT, TAKE A GOOD LOOK AND LISTEN TO YOUR PLP/BIU THEY ARE DOING A FINE JOB OF THAT!

  9. Anon says:

    Looks like the BIU are celebrating their big fat 16.67% increase they just got from members. we should all be so lucky
