Military barbers working at Fort Lee and Fort Pickett have been striking since the Fourth of July. The barbers say they are protesting against unfair wages offered by the contractor who employs them.
About 20 barbers employed by Sheffield Barbers have been on strike, some of them gathered outside of Fort Lee on Friday afternoon. Virginia Sen. Joe Morrisey and the Virginia President of the American Union joined the barbers as they marched outside of the base.
They carried picket signs and chanted alongside a giant inflatable rat and other signs.

Their prices suck anyway, I always found the guy in the barracks that could cut hair and paid him instead. Full buzz was $2, high and tight $5, and anything fancy was $10, or alternatively a pack of their preferred smokes or can of dip.
Prices adjusted for inflation on my deployment, but by then I was just buzzing my own hair. Paying the local barber was still more expensive than paying Joe in the barracks who also began taking Red Bull and Monster in addition to smokes or dip.
