Pro Picketer

Sherman Woods considers himself a professional picketer. He's not affiliated with the group of protesting workers. The union pays him $8.50 an hour for about five hours a day to show up, carry the sign, and holler along with the rest of them. Woods said he works about 25 hours a week, as a picketer. I thought this was interesting, and somehow very wrong.

This is apparently a trend that many unions do. I heard a story about it on NPR that was really interesting. The link is:
