They know that the Obama administration owes the unions. They will keep sending bus loads to protest in front of companies. They are trying to get more people to join unions. Unions are only interested in union dues.
If you are not happy just get another job. Don't bother saying that there are no jobs..it's not my fault.. you can blame Obama for that.
It used to be unions represented skilled laborers. Now unions try to get middle class wages for people who wasted their education and have no marketable skills.

So you're "qualified" to step in to replace a nurse tomorrow? How about a HS Science teacher?
It's remarkable that the same people who rage about people being on public assistance, also rage when those same people try to get enough money from their jobs to remove themselves from public assistance.
Goes to show, it's not logic, it's just unjustified anger at "those people".

"try to get enough money"
Why not learn a skill or make a career change, rather than extort a company.

Teachers and nurses don't need unions to begin with - especially nurses. The demand for nurses is extremely high in certain locations which gives the nurses the edge in salary and benefit negotiations.

I'm ok with some assistance for the working poor. But at the same time, fast food is not a field that can justify high wages based on the fact that no skills are required to do it.

From Micky D's? How about go to school. And this is the union bussing people in trying to get people to join. The same as the unions did at Wal-mart

Just an fyi, with government health care you do realize that unions have the medical field, nurses and ancillary medical services on the list don't you?
Perhaps I am just not bright enough to see the economic advantage of extorting higher wages which not only get passed down the line to the retail price - which hurts all consumers - but adds another layer of "skim" (union dues).
In addition, the tendency for organized criminals to gain power in such organizations is well documented.
