A judge ordered one of Chicago’s most politically powerful labor unions to suspend picketing against 16 funeral homes last week after receiving reports that striking Teamsters had, among other things, disturbed a child’s funeral.
SCI Illinois Services, Inc., one of the nation’s largest funeral home chains, asked a district court to intervene after striking funeral directors and drivers with Teamsters Local 727 allegedly harassed grieving families.
The company testified in its filing that union members blocked grieving family members from leaving its parking lot, used bullhorns to shout obscenities at workers and mourners, and unleashed a German Shepherd on a dead woman’s daughter and husband.
The funeral home was eventually forced to call the police whenpicketers allegedly disrupted a child’s funeral with laughter.The officer asked the Teamsters to leave, but protesters returned when he drove away.
“We will be here for the visitation; we will be here for your funeral,” Teamster driver Lester Plewa allegedly shouted into a bullhorn as a funeral director met with a dying man planning his arrangements with family members.

Hmmm...does this behavior only count as bad if it is the westboro baptists? Seems like this activity is a lot worse than what those nuts did...and yet...no news coverage...

But I guess they have a good reason...the funeral company only offered a 9% pay raise over two years...the bastards....

The Teamsters have been on strike since July 1 after rejecting the company’s offer of nine percent raises for all union members over the next two years.

Do we need Patriot Riders to escort these funeral processions as well?
