Term of the Moment: union thug

union thug--you might as well embrace the label that rabid right wingers like that sleazy Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker slaps onto good working men and women. A particularly tough Broadway head I know showed up to a  mammoth load in wearing a "union thug" t-shirt in light purple. A fierce woman head I know, who fought her way into a position of power over 30 years, prefers her own t-shirt adorned with flowers.  Also: strike-tested union thug. The etymology of thug is very interesting...it comes from robbers in India from the early 1800's who would strangle their victims.
