Union Pays Homeless to Picket

I’ve always been told that only people affected by something picket to change things. Seems like that isn’t so in Michigan. The Carpenter’s Union hires the homeless at sometimes $10 an hour to walk around with picket signs protesting—something—they don’t know what. They say they’re TOLD what to say if somebody asks them. It’s NOT their own words they are spouting, it’s what the union TOLD them to say. And it they don’t get that $10 an hour, they wouldn’t be picketing. They’d be sitting on their corners, begging, or just hiding from real work. This is the kind of demonstrators that they use, hoping to make their point. (YouTube)
