Union Objects Springsteen Concert Venue

The Washington Post reports:
A local union says promoters picked the wrong arena for Bruce Springsteen to perform the pro-labor music of folk singer Pete Seeger.

The decision to hold the concert Wednesday at the non-unionized Bradley Center was "bafflingly ironic and somewhat infuriating," said Paul Friday, who coordinates the Milwaukee chapter of a union of musicians, actors and stage hands.



"We're not really protesting," he said. "We just want people to know Springsteen's taking the music of a very pro-union campaign into a venue like that."
A truly great moment in limousine liberalism.Springsteen wants consumers to pay higher costs as long as it doesn't apply to him.
