Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher - a.k.a., Joe the Plumber" - announced today on Facebook and earlier on his Web site that he has landed a union job with Chrysler Group LLC.
Mr. Wurzelbacher, 40, of Springfield Township, who once was vilified as an "unlicensed plumber," said he was on his fourth day today and taking a smoke break at the time, when he was accosted by a co-worker as a teabagger, a derogatory term used for Tea Party members.
In long message, Mr. Wurzelbacher said, I was just recently hired on at Chrysler, and explained that while he's known as a conservative, he's not an enemy of private unions.
In order to work for Chrysler, you are required to join the Union, in this case UAW. Theres no choice its a union shop the employees voted to have it that way and in America thats the way it is, he wrote.

(12,647 posts)"Horny" attention-monger Samuel J. "Joe the 'Plumber'" Wurzelbacher has been asked by Americans For Prosperity to serve as the group's labor-busting shill in the campaign against the Employee Free Choice Act, which would allow labor unions to form through both a secret ballot or by card-check -- a choice that would reduce instances of anti-union intimidation common to the formative stages of organizing.
