The Mackinac Center for Public Policy discovers that the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters uses non-union labor to protest a Grand Rapids area businessman. What's worse, the union has even recruited demonstrators who frequent local homeless shelters, including a shelter which gets help from the very same businessman targeted by the union.

When I google the title of your thread, I can only find references pertaining to the video from The Mackinac Center. I cannot find a reputable news source to verify this information.
And The Mackinac Center have their own motives on this issue.

Well, I guess as soon as it shows up on Huffington Post, I'll post a link for you, seeing as you seem to use them quite a lot in your threads. We all know how unbiased they are.

You have just used a common fallacy called: an ad homenim attack. Instead of making your own case you have chosen to simply attack me in order to discredit my request.
Its a thin vale that most people will see through.
GRAND RAPIDS – Pickets who said they are being paid by a carpenters union have been calling “shame” on Spectrum Health, Saint Mary's Health and Van Andel Arena for several months.
As a picketing crews set up in front of Spectrum Health's Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion this morning, they said they could not comment and handed a reporter a leaflet similar to one being handed out in front of Van Andel Arena.
“We're just being paid to hold up the sign,” said one of the pickets as they set up their banner at the corner of Michigan Street and Coit Avenue NE.
Bill Ritsema, majority shareholder of Grandville-based Ritsema Associates said the union has never contacted him or his company.
