That is how we do it in NC. You can choose to hire union and you can choose not to hire union. Choice is a good thing. I don't see the controversy.

Do you have anything factual to support that otherwise baseless allegation?

Just WHAT do you consider better cars?

German cars made by the German Metalworkers Union?

Let me tell all you union supporters something. It is a MYTH that union labor is superior and produces higher quality products and has higher skilled workers. That is a damn MYTH! I work in a union IT shop. I came from a NON union shop and let me tell you something, the people here are freaking IDIOTS! They are slow, lazy and very unskilled. The union infrastructure guys don't even know how to enable a port and set it's damn speed on a layer 2 Cisco switch! This is SUPPOSEDLY what they do for a living! They don't care either because they know their job isn't going anywhere.

No, that scares the Left that's why they are constantly trying to FORCE unionization and take away that choice!

Do you actually have anything to show for your statement? Did someone actually bid a job to two companies, one union, one not and compare the results?

NO.

This is simply a political choice made to say thanks for voting for us, and please vote for us again.
