Truth About Drunken replacement EWA worker hits striking Verizon employee with truck.

WESTBORO (CBS) — Police arrested a Verizon replacement EWA worker who they say drunkenly drove into a picketer and an officer Thursday morning.

George Pulling, 55, of Naples, Florida, was charged with two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, driving under the influence of alcohol, and operating a motor vehicle without a license. Police said it was his fourth DUI offense.

Westboro Police said four officers were on scene around 8:20 a.m. Thursday outside the Extended Stay Hotel on East Main Street, where Verizon workers replacing those who are on strike are being housed. Those officers were escorting the replacement workers through a picket line of about 80 picketers.

"he also threw himself onto the hood of the contractor's car." Isn't that what Gerry Horgan did that caused his death?

He was a contractor. Sourcing was not very thorough in their vetting of this particular contractor. And yes, the picketer was also charged---he also threw himself onto the hood of the contractor's car.

Hopefully they'll come down hard on this idiot. He should be fired as quickly as any union worker would be. I think for the companies sake there should be much tighter checks on the temporary hires and the same checks should be ran on any returning union workers.
