You are free to do business with any company you choose, no one is forcing you to consume the products/services of a business you do not like. As a taxpayer, on the other hand I have NO CHOICE regarding public union services.
Interesting how that choice exists for banks, manufacturers, restaurants, etc. - but NOT for government services...
How is that?
Are you aware that the US in the ONLY country on earth that taxes overseas profits?
Since when did the aforementioned workers become a majority of the middle class, or even representative of it?
Some of THEM don't understand that the small business owners who are being threatened with boycott are also considered middle class. They really do think that the middle class is only unionized workers. It is sad but true.
Since you don't know the term bankster and/or consider its use to be childish, why on earth would I waste my time with you?
Except to say that yes I would put teachers, firemen, police, social workers, etc, as representative of the middle class. What planet do you live on that these people are not representative of the middle class?
And on your planet when did the small business owners these union people are trying to bully into backing down get thrown out of the middle class? I want someone to explain this to me and you may be a good one to do that.

Why should other posters not call you out on your use of infantile labels that:
1) shows a complete lack of understanding of the US economy
2) allow people without facts to hide behind Moveon.org meaningless, deflective talking points
And it's hilarious to see how you put a tiny percent of the population as representative of anything. Ever take a statistics class?
As for your last question, these people are police, yet you claim that they are "middle class." Where would they qualify? In a Saudi Palace?

The first thing the unions need to do is boycott WALMART, everywhere. Shopping there is crossing a picket line. Unless the small business owner supports the Koch Owned Party why boycott them

Why are you worrying about what a Police officer makes when the Money Lenders are walking off with billions. They have stolen 40% of the economy and want more.
If the UAW or any other union demand and get more I can choose not to buy that product and they get none of my hard earned money. The public service employees on the other hand got us by the bxxxs cause we just pay higher and higher property taxes till we loose our homes.this is very WRONG. school should be paid for by those using it not the poor old lady up the road barely eating and loosing her house. How did we ever get here anyway?

How so? Walmart employees have chosen NOT to unionize - why does that bother you?
Dawn Bobo told FOX News that she has done a weeks worth of business in just one day. People are traveling from miles away to buy things to show her their support.
Seems regular people don't like the thuggish, goonish behavior of the unions and the Left.
If big labor continues to grow how long before all of our politicians will be in there pocket and therefore any contract will have to go to the Unions as pay back also all the taxpayers will be on the hook for the cost.
You know, I've always supported the US auto industry. I believe in buying American made vehicles (yes, I know most "American" brands use foreign parts or are built in Mexico or Canada) and keeping the profits in the US. However, Chrysler is now owned by Fiat, and GM by, well, the government. Which leaves Ford, my next planned purchase. Given this latest round of intimidation by Union thugs, I'm tempted to by from a Japanese "transplant" company, using non-Union US labor, rather than suppporting the UAW or any other union.
