I must start by saying that I do not claim to know all the laws involved in this issue.
However, it seems beyond belief to me that tens of thousands of people in the Baltimore – Washington DC area have not had electricity since Friday night, and over 8,000 Con Ed workers are locked out when they seemingly could have been sent down to help!!
On the news is said that they have crews from as far away as Florida.
Doesn’t anyone in the government have any common sense? There must be a way to get them back to work on a temporary manner.
Also, I must mention that I heard from someone in Baltimore that last night the caterer O’Fishele made a fleishige shmorg FREE for everyone who didn’t have power! Wow! What a zchus!
I was at a wedding in Baltimore Sunday night that O’Fishele catered. Food was delicious and he was a real mentsch considering the circumstances..
Lockout is a perfectly legitimate and legal business practice. Whatever it takes to bring a union to its knees! Especially when companies realize union employees have a work slowdown, don’t waste money, lock them out!
The government can’t FORCE ConEd to unlock the doors. This isn’t an issue of National Security (ex. air traffic controllers, etc.) where the government can FORCE people to work.
so what do you suggest?
they go around on the streets and shout: “All former ConEd workers, we have a temp job for you in Baltimore”?
2scents:- I suggest:- Get Far Away from Baltimore, and never go back to that cruel weird location.
The world is big enough, without having to be in Baltimore.
FYI:- I am about to fly out to the Southern Hemisphere, to reduce the # of hours I’ll have to fast on Tammuz 18th, where they are in early winter. Would you like to join me to the Southern Hemisphere? and have a great excuse to get out of Baltimore.
Thre are a lot of people really suffering because of the effects of the storm, from DC to Ohio. People’s lives are in danger from the excessive heat and no power for medical equipment.

It’s a lot better than anything in the NYC Metropolitan area!
“It’s a lot better than anything in the NYC Metropolitan area!”
Ayyyyyymen!
(You could even say the tri-state area)
O’Fishel is THEEEEE best caterer on the East Coast. My opinion! And least expensive.
