What they are demanding doesn't make any sense.

They should have calculated his pay rate and factored in their charges and realized it doesn't help the kid before making their demands.

I bet they don't even realize how much he makes and the economic turmoil their demands would create.

It's simple math.

How could this be good for anyone?

They should have just sent him their business card and an offer of support for him as a new worker in the USA in case he needs anything....no charge!

That would be helping instead of the negativity they created.

Doesn't anyone use common sense anymore?

That is really really stupid......how do they expect any worker to react when they expect them to lose money on the job.

Wow.........this should be illegal.

It's like robbery.

As well as stupidity.....

The union is a legalized organized crime protection racket. It doesn't care if paying the protection runs small company out of business. The new tenant will pay. The union doesn't care if the boy pays more than he makes. They know that they have to protect their turf by insisting 100% membership or others will not want to pay. Also, some will pay even if it is stupid to do so. His son is a worthless pawn in the union's war to keep the place a union store.
