Thanks for any input for or against.

Unions are the handmaid’s of the Antichrist. They do nothing for employees except ship jobs overseas.

I would never give up my ability to negotiate the price of my work.

IAM & AW is a bunch of lying scheming backstabbing bastards. Thats from a former steward. IAM was interested in helping everyone but the machinists they claimed to represent. When the negotiators(none of them machinists) got their new cars and whatever else the company promised them, they recommended buying the contract. We (Machinists) got screwed by the Aerospace Workers (Sheet metal, rivet bangers, wiring harnesses) side.

Unions should be abolished.

Each should handle their own employment, or have an agent handle it—not a union.

[Fido969]

They destroy companies and industries, and so must move onto new ones to be parasites on.

I am retired, thus out of the work force. I do live in Huntsville, AL.

Unions = NO!

Whatever you think about the benefits of having a union in your workplace, during the transition you will suffer.

Maybe somebody will get paid more ten years from now, but once the workers vote for a union you can say goodbye to any bonuses, raises, or whatever else the company used to do to keep the employees happy as the company figures out how to make a deal with the union.

IAM was the first union i was in, screw-em...

Just more money for the party. Blue Origin has enough money and resources to just fire anyone eligible to join that union. They are not a production shop and there isn’t anything particular they have to keep in house.

In a Right-to-Work state Unions can come into a company but the company and union cannot require membership for employment. No Union or Agency Shop.

Whatever people think of unions, if we are going to have them we need a taxpayers union. If the government indiscriminately and irresponsibly spends taxpayer money, taxpayers should be able to strike (i.e. refuse paying taxes) until a deal is struck.

Huntsville is being flooded with a huge Liberal/Democrat tsunami. All government workers and contractors.

It won’t take long for someone to try and organize and make Alabama go union.

It’s going to be real interesting what VW is going to do. Shut down to another non-union state, Mexico, lay-off a bunch of employees after some number crunching.

Democrats destroy EVERYTHING.

My grandfather was the shop steward for a union in the 1920's when they sent in the Pinkertons to bust the Unions.
In the 1960's he told me that unions were not needed anymore as they had gotten health, safety, and retirement fund laws passed.
Now they are crooks, and they treat the workers like that Union Rep Sherman treated the farmers of Ga.
