Why do people think not having a union = not treating employees well?

Haley uses the buzz words to appeal to the voters in South Carolina......and they all fall for it.
Yeah they fall for being able to negotiate for a higher wage than what the dumb union thugs would get for them. lol


Unions are at war with smart independent workers.

Employees at Boeing aren't looking for unions. That is the point. Boeing located here because this is right to work state.

Seeing as there are more people employed in SC right now than at any other time in history I'd say she is doing something right...

Just because there are more people working doesn't really mean to much. It's the companies decision to come here or not. The pop. of SC is more than ever before too so obviously there is gonna be more jobs.

Secondly why are people in SC wanting so much industry? Why don't we push for something like State Farm regional HQ that can bring thousands of high paying jobs?

The Charleston Boeing plant has around 6500 employees. How many of those are actually looking for a union? I would say it's likely in the minority. Probably former union employees from Boeing in Seattle or other union organized factories, etc. The unions just need a handful of employees to complain so they can get their foot in the door.

What this country is headed for is another Civil War. Two people are to blame for this. Tom Rogers and Rupert Murdoch. Until people see how those two idiots have ruined this country for their own wealth, we will be forever yelling at each other that our side is right. In the meantime, I'm gonna move to Grand Cayman or somewhere so I don't get shot over a union debate.

Why do you hate people debating ideas? That is democracy in a nutshell. You say Fox News ruinied the country by having people on to debate things? Get real.

SC has a ton of insurance companies. Haley isn't preventing insurance companies from coming here.
