Hours of “Racist, Sexist and Homophobic Threats and Slurs”

Padme Lakshmi - Top ChefDeadline Hollywood

By the time Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi’s car pulled up to the Steel & Rye restaurant in the picturesque New England town of Milton just outside Boston, one of them ran up to her car and screamed, “We’re gonna bash that pretty face in, you fu**ing whore!”

Angry that the show had not signed a Teamsters contract and that the production hired local PA’s to drive cast and crew vehicles, the dozen or so picketers from Boston’s Teamsters Local 25 kept at it for hours, raining down racist, sexist and homophobic threats and slurs as staffers came to and left the set that summer day…

John King, Milton’s Deputy Police Chief, said the Teamsters were “threatening, heckling and harassing.” The first officer on the scene, he said, had to call for back-up after the Teamsters “gave the officer trouble.” Reading from the police report, he said the Teamsters were “hostile, swearing, and refusing to let people come in and out. Officers repeatedly tried to de-escalate the situation.” When more police arrived, the Teamsters went to the show’s hospitality tent and “harassed the crew there.” When the officers went there, King said, “A group of them slashed the tires on 14 different cars owned by the crew.”

I think we need to ask New Hampshire Democrats, the Teamsters in the NH Local, and Unions in general, to publicly denounce this.

Most of the Democrats for higher office in the Granite State get union money and the stte party uses it to the benefit of all NH Democrats.  Teamsters and unions provide the left with free and abundant ground troops for campaign activities, issue advocacy, testimony, support, or protests at the state house.

This reflects badly on all union members and all Democrat candidates, who are responsible for allowing this sort of thing to go unopposed if they refuse to speak out, and are complicit in such treatment by continuing to take money form unions who do not stand against this kind of abuse and intimidation.

Threats of violence, and intimidation.  Hours of “racist, sexist and homophobic threats and slurs” against anyone who doesn’t’ give them their way. 

You probably wont find this sort of advice on any of those sites that prep you for resume writing or job interviews.  You have to go to the Democrat and Union “meetings” for this sort of instruction.   Hire me or I’ll “bash that pretty face in, you fu**ing whore!”
