If you happen to be in Manhattan today, you might have seen this gigantic rubber rat. And check out the sign taped to his chest. Egad — he’s warning passersby that there are bedbugs in the nearby Doubletree Metropolitan hotel! Click to enlarge.
Or is he? Here’s a detail of the sign. It has a disclosure statement. Why would a bedbug alert have one of those?
And here’s the disclosure statement, up close. Much more up close than any of the unsuspecting passersby are ever likely to get. Click to enlarge.
The union rat isn’t really a bedbug warning at all. There were no customer complaints about sleeping with bedbugs. The “warning” is actually just a protest of the fact that the hotel’s ownership hired a non-union company to perform services, at an entirely different hotel, as the owners are well within their rights to do.
This giant rat is nothing more than a giant union-sponsored lie.
Update: Tick alert!









Isn’t this illegal? Can’t he, and the union, be arrested/charged for something like this? How terrible! Free country, indeed! What a big
“rat” this union is.
I stayed at the Doubletree six weeks ago. No bedbugs, service was fantastic and their cookies truly kick ass.
I was already planning to use them again my next trip into the city, this just clinches it.
Well isn’t this just a perfect example of why you cannot trust ANYTHING a UNION has to say!!! DOWN WITH UNION THUGGERY
Once AGAIN, the union THUGS will stoop to the lowest of low levels to try and EXTORT businesses to cave in to PAYING them to go away…Time for America to say “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” and put an END to this type of disgusting behavior!
Time to outlaw unions and maybe kill all Leftists…
I’m so ticked, that rat really bugs me.
See my bed bug dog “Lillie” finding bed bugs on YouTube
