Do as I say, not as I do

The WSJ recently reported a case where a carpenter's union hired non-union picketers to protest a building project that was using non-union labor for the project.
 
WASHINGTON—Billy Raye, a 51-year-old unemployed bike courier, is looking for work.
Fortunately for him, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters is seeking paid demonstrators to march and chant in its current picket line outside the McPherson Building, an office complex here where the council says work is being done with nonunion labor.
