Freedom Is Prevailing Against The Unions

[GrassrootsConservative]

It's about time Americans stand up to the slavery that Democrats are trying to force them into. What we are witnessing is Americans once again choosing to choose between taking it up the ass from a union, or the be their own person and make their own choices. The comparison I am thinking about with this uprising of "Right To Work" states is a simple, yet striking one:

Before the Revolutionary War, Britain was forcing us to pay higher and higher taxes, we had no choice about it, it was either pay your dues or suffer consequences. And people were not happy about it.

Now we have a revolution against the unions in our country that the Democrat politicians are attempting to force us into paying off in order to have a job. This is because people are clearly not happy about unions running the show.

Remember, the phrase "anti-union" is a misnomer, because they're not anti-union at all. This legislation we are seeing come to pass in many states recently does not kill unions, does not kill jobs, does not end the pickpocketing unions from finding gullible suckers to leech from, it simply gives workers the choice to be union or not be union. To be a sheep or to be a person. That's the choice they are being given the freedom to make.

Freedom of choice is one of the greatest freedoms you can have in America, and it's clearly winning the fight.

Is your state a Right to Work state? Maybe you should find out if you don't already know. Maybe you should call your representatives and tell them you would like to be.

Right to work c'mon everybody has a "right to work" wherever they can get hired that is now if someone prefers "non union" they can seek employment at a "non union" shop now the choice is always there but if a company chooses to unionization that should be there choice as well this issue is simply political theater there is plenty of choice and the right to choose always has been always will be.

Everyone knows this has nothing to do with Right to work.

Unions are traditionally supporter of the Democrats.

But there's one small problem, not all Union Members are Democrats ... Ooops looks like The Tent is getting smaller.

Actually unions these days don't hold much clout or influence with the exception of government employees who make up the majority of current union members.

Once again the nitwit can't address the topic. I do love the idiotic "Everyone knows...." Of course, that's not true. Some people actually object to the socialists plan for mandatory union membership and for forcing people who are by choice not members of a union to pay union dues anyway. Cigar doesn't because he has to believe in unions so he is desperate to believe that everyone knows that it's about the unions paying off their accomplices. Many people, such as myself, will not join a criminal organization. It's really quite simple. I would be ashamed to be involved with extortionists and the accomplices like Cigar's much admired and loved, by Cigar, socialist President. There is actually very little everyone agrees on. The opinion of Cigar might be one of the "everyone knows" that's true.

Correct ... but ... this is the real story.

Across the country, right-wing legislators continue their attack on labor unions, claiming (http://www.politico.com/blogs/politicolive/0211/Kasich_accuses_labor_leaders_of_misinformation_cam paign.html?showall) that they are saving their states money. Yet in waging these anti-labor campaigns, these politicians are ignoring one very simple fact: unions were a major force in building and sustaining the great American middle class, and as they declined, so has the middle class. As CAP’s Karla Waters and David Madland showed in a report (http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2011/01/20/report-incomes/) they first published this past January, as union membership has steadily declined since 1967, so too has the middle class’s share of national income, as the super-rich have taken a larger share of national income than any time since the 1920s (http://ecolocalizer.com/2010/04/12/plutocracy-reborn-wealth-inequality-gap-largest-since-1928/):

Naturally the deniers will rush in ... but personally I couldn't care about Unions, I'm more excited that the Republicans keep shooing themselves in the Foot and creating more and more people who dislike Republicans.

Of course only the Fox Educated think people are bound to joint Unions.

They can't distinguish the difference between Membership and Dues.

I think the op was talking about a "closed" shop as a condition of employment you will be "required " to join that union if you wish to work there with few exceptions hence a "closed" shop.

Cigar doesn't know anything about unions but he knows how he's supposed to post.

But, he is right. I would object if I were forced to pay the union a cent. I don't willingly support organized crime. When I was in the closed shop, and wasn't a union member, I still got fined by the shop steward if I broke a union rule and the company graciously took it out of my pay and gave it to the union. Union goons still threatened me for "working too hard" even though I wasn't a union member. When I asked, as a prospective member, why the union officers and their wives were in Acapulco for their annual business meeting when we were all in Florida. I asked why they couldn't go to Miami and was told to mind my own business. Back them, Miami was popular with organized crime figures.

Unions are a benefit for the lazy, incompetent, brutal, and criminal employees. The others, not so much.

It's really a mystery to me why Republicans and Conservative are so popular these days

Yea .. right ... enjoy the extended Vacation from The White House with attitudes like that. :grin:

[Awryly]

That would be the freedom that allows what manufacturers you have left to exploit what workers are still prepared to work for you?

[Agravan]

Amazing that some idiots still think socialism works...
