, to the tune of $33,000. I love the smell of victory hotdogs in the morning

The “hot dog guy” is getting new digs.

Clinton Tarver, the owner of Clint’s Hot Dog Cart and Casual Catering, saw his small business thrust into the national spotlight on Tuesday when his supplies were destroyed at a pro-union protest against right-to-work legislation in Lansing, Mich. “Violent”
demonstrators tore down a tent where Tarver was serving his dogs, he said, prompting a staff member for a local lawmaker to create an online fundraiser for the 63-year-old downtown fixture. As of Friday, more than $33,000 had been donated.

“I’m overwhelmed,” Tarver said Friday. “The public has shown such love to me. You never know your true friends until you get down and I’ve had people I thought were pretty close to me and they’ve given me one call. You learn from your endeavors.”

I guess when some are caught up in their own righteous indignation it doesn't matter who they hurt. Glad to see he's coming out of it the better.

Union goons hate free enterprise. He should have hired staff at union rates to serve those hot dogs instead of doing the work himself.

I had a guy leave my employ for a 'better' job in a union shop. He didn't calculate the $65 a month for dues and the fact that all the BS made the job suck.
A year later he was asking for his job back but I didn't have a place for him. Another year later he was laid off.
We still keep in touch and he's gone back to school to be a cop.

Nowhere in the story does he say it was Union Protestors.

It says; “Violent” demonstrators tore down a tent where Tarver was serving his dogs,



Wonder if these demonstrators were associates of Mr Crowder........

lol Well, it only says it was a pro-union protest and doesn't say that the protesters were union, but the odds are .......... lol

 

[petros]

Does the article say whether those who donated were Union or Non-Union types?

I wonder what the stats would say on that if they were known?

 

[Locutus]

Who cares. They certainly weren't non-union protesters. Anywho, call Fark if yer all mad y'all. :lol:
