Yup, fear the truth...It's coming to a state near you. The gap between union and non union wages is between 21 and 32 percent....Better tighten that belt.

Yes, and unfortunately when that happens many of these folks who were gleefullly urging the destruction of the unions probably won't have enough money to afford the internet so we won't be able to "discuss" the issue with them.

I think most of them think..."Well it won't effect me...I'm not in a union", but they are so wrong...It is union wages that keep the wages of non union "shops" to a reasonable level...

Gotta be in a union to be "working people"?

That's the sort of liberal condescension which has alienated most of America.

That might apply if your a common laborer. There is no
private business in America that does not value the
expertise of their employees, and you want to know why?
It makes them money.

That is why as Unions of the past served a purpose for
many injustices in the work place for common laborers
and the like - these things have been corrected in the
labor laws. Unions remind me of the Indian motorcycle -
it was popular at one time and it died. Sure, they tried
to bring it back, but it wasn't the same.

WI almost lost Harley Davidson (no joke) an Icon of the
State - they laid off over 300 and this is only a 7 year gig
contract. International Paper moved out, Briggs n Stratton, John Deere. When are you folks going to wake
up. Or, are you just going to freeze to death

You know, right to work states are just trying to give you a line - we know, you don't need any more rope to hang
yourself.

Bottom line - business is in the business of making money.
if you stand in the way tooo much, your not benefiting them or yourself - you'll be out of a job.

Thank you for illustrating why these public employee unions need to have their collective bargaining advantage ended ASAP!

Anyone remember this appearance of Obama's? Looks like he's keeping his union promises.

To a certain extent I already do.

Interesting how the argument went from a fiscal crisis (which the unions relented on) to one of raw union busting. The right is getting pretty damn lazy with their excuses and intellectual dishonesty these days.
