Giant rat at the Ashland VA station construction project?
Author: Lackawanna484

The Virtual Railfan camera shows what looks like a medium size Scabby inflatable rat at the station work site.  Scabby often appears when non-union sub-contractors etc are brought onto a worksite.  The rat is facing south, at the highway crossing.

(I believe this attention getting inflatable is owned by the Carpenters Union, and comes with his own wranglers.  There are several currently in use.)

Bet that rat was made by non-union rat makers

It probably has a "Made in China" on the label.

Yes, if it was purchased at the Maralago gift shop.

Well, this is the "Year of the Rat".

Wouldn’t it be more productive to get the non-union employees to join the union, rather than shame them with giant rubber rodents? I’m sure they wouldn’t mind doing the same job for higher pay and benefits, but at the end of the day, they are just trying to put food on the table.

The rat is back on the Ashland job site. He may have been self isolating for a few days.
