Might as well get accustomed to it.. Unions are dying and have been for decades.. They no longer serve the needs of their membership and instead serve themselves and now it's time to pay the piper.. Unions are on their way out, across the country.. It won't be too long before there isn't a state left that isn't a right to work state..
If labor unions want to gain favor with the corporate world, then they should offer to take over the burden of administering all worker benefits, and so saving companies the expense of doing that. As a result, corporate support for right to work would vanish! But then plenty of conservatives would whine that no one should be forced to work where the benefits are forced, most of all by labor unions.
Are you saying that the attack on the AFP tent took place because Crowder was there? How about the destruction of the business place, his hot dog stand, of Clinton Tarver? Oh, I forgot, they destroyed that thing because Tarver went to the aid of the women buried in the tent.
Your post was pure union Pelosi and I would say that you are one of those who was at Lansing yesterday from the sound of it.
All you know about it is what Fox told you, and what you want to believe. You know nothing else about that situation. It's just easy and rewarding for you to parrot the right-wing media. I myself might believe Fox media if it hadn't lost its credibility long ago. I certainly would like some real news.
You know what they say about assumptions?

They can have their fair share of blame, C)but exactly why do you think Obama just took that trip to SE Asia? More cheap labor of course. I don't see how you can be so fooled.
A) You just make statements without bothering to read previous posts? The discussion about Clinton and NAFTA has been worn out around here.
B) Obama can do nothing about NAFTA with repubs in congress, and nobody, including you, knows how he feels about it.
C) He has spoken only vaguely about this - so what info do you have? I heard him speak about "cooperation" but that could mean anything. Why do you assume one thing?

Yeah *hyuk* I hate people who work and succeed in life! I myself am a leech living off your tax dollars. That do it for ya?

Obama expanded NAFTA considerably by allowing Mexican truckdrivers to take over the US highways and take jobs from American truckdrivers --- so I think we can all safely assume Obama is very much in favor of NAFTA and all that dirt cheap labor.
Plus of course he plans to bring in many millions of new cheap labor by offering a huge amnesty. It really is all for the purpose of bringing wages down. No matter what he pretends when it comes to jobs for Americans, his actions are for the opposite.
Only if Crowder dresses in drag and demands free birth control pills.
You are Crowder!

Violence is "okay" if anyone has the audacity to "annoy" a Liberal? I just want equal rights when it comes to punching out anyone who is annoying, I'm sure you understand.
You can't tell the difference? Maher is raunchy, witty, funny, and creative. No right-wing "comic" like Crowder or Dennis Miller can match him. Show me a right-wing comic or fan who does not equate humor with crassness.

Allow it and then play one against the other, or create a false narrative, to blame the innocent.
AFP stands for Americans For Prosperity. The people behind it stand for what is in the best interest for the corporate world and its profits. Having a union in a workplace certainly isn't it.
AFP does not disclose its donors but it has been discovered that they receive major funding from the Koch brothers.

The company I work for has both Union and non union plants. Oddly enough the non-union plants out perform our Union counter parts in both delivery and case cost. When we go to a Union plant I am always amazed at how little they care. Run 80% or 50% efficency it all pays the same.
Our line goes down it's like ants on a grasshopper to get it running again.
Theirs goes down its break time.
Your right having a Union in a factory certainly isn't good for profits.
What amazes me most is the trade Unions are very good and do superior work, yet those Union workers in factories act like going to work is going to their own hanging.
Looks like you will have to negotiate your own salary. I don't know how the 90% of the workforce not in unions survives. LOL
Yep, the 93% somehow get along fine.
