These people are despicable:

In pursuit of an Eagle Scout badge, Kevin Anderson, 17, has toiled for more than 200 hours hours over several weeks to clear a walking path in an east Allentown park.

Little did the do-gooder know that his altruistic act would put him in the cross hairs of the city’s largest municipal union.

Nick Balzano, president of the local Service Employees International Union, told Allentown City Council Tuesday that the union is considering filing a grievance against the city for allowing Anderson to clear a 1,000-foot walking and biking path at Kimmets Lock Park.

“We’ll be looking into the Cub Scout or Boy Scout who did the trails,” Balzano told the council.

Balzano said Saturday he isn’t targeting Boy Scouts. But given the city’s decision in July to lay off 39 SEIU members, Balzano said “there’s to be no volunteers.” No one except union members may pick up a hoe or shovel, plant a flower or clear a walking path.

Are we not told by the leftists, ad nauseum, that unions are a great blessing to modern society? Hogwash.  Their thuggish tactics and myopic agenda are a cancer on our once flourishing civil society.  They ought to be banished to the ash heap of history.

That’s a nice Boy Scouts program you got there…shame if something were to happen to it.

Union thug Balzano eventually admits that, “we are probably going to let this one go.”  But don’t expect such favors in the future!  Let this be a warning to you all: no positive social action without subsequent lining of our mobster pockets will be tolerated.  Capiche?
