Union President Makes Playground Threat To Congress

IBD reports:

The American Federation of Government Employees held its legislative conference Monday and it was truly a festival of union bullying.

In a frothing address, AFGE National President J. David Cox threatened Congress, promising that "we are a force to be reckoned with and we are a force that will open up the biggest can of whoop ass on anyone" who doesn't vote in the union's interests.

Government Executive reports that the union "vowed to combat any congressional efforts to shrink the federal workforce, cut pay and benefits or weaken unions."

According to Government Executive, Cox bragged that every time the "fools" in Congress try to hurt the federal workforce: "we get bigger. We get stronger and we fight harder."

In case he wasn't clear enough, Cox got cheeky at least one more time.

"If I meet one more politician who tells me we need to tighten our belts, I'm going to take my belt off and I'm going to whoop his ass," he said.

Where would some unions be without threatening violence?
