Michael Moore Snubs Union Workers In Making 'Capitalism: A Love Story'


ABCNews.com:
Michael Moore used some non-union crewmembers when union workers were available in the production of his latest film "Capitalism: A Love Story," a documentary that argues the capitalist system allows for greedy corporations to exploit working-class people.

"For all of the different jobs on the movie that could have used union labor, he used union labor, except for one job, the stagehands, represented by IATSE," said a labor source unauthorized to talk about Moore's decision not to hire members of The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.

In a statement issued to ABCNews.com, Moore's agent, Ari Emanuel, said the filmmaker wished the union includ apied more documentary crew people -- but he did not deny that IATSE members were snubbed in favor of non-union employees.

Michael Moore is just another Hollywood hypocrite making millions while condemning the same system that's responsible for him being rich. Reminds you of all those limousine liberals who espouse eco-lifestyles. If Moore were to put his money where his mouth is, tickets to "Capitalism: A Love Story" would be free. But hypocritical does not mean stupid.
