Outsourcing "Outrage"

clipped from www.qando.net A union, outraged over the fact that non-union workers were being used in the construction of a Washington office building decided to protest and picket.  But, uh, it was just too hard or too much of a hassle to have real union people do it, so they hired some non-union unemployed at minimum wage instead: "For a lot of our members, it’s really difficult to have them come out, either because of parking or something else," explains Vincente Garcia, a union representative who is supervising the picketing. So instead, the union hires unemployed people at the minimum wage—$8.25 an hour—to walk picket lines. Which I’m sure has the developer and non-union workers in the building just quaking in their boots. The article goes on to say that a lot of protest groups and advocacy groups have hit a bonanza with the unemployed.  They can hire them for peanuts (min. wage) and swell their groups and pad their numbers in public.
