“Granting individual workers the freedom to not join a union negates the freedom of the majority of workers to coerce the minority into joining. The President feels that when there are disagreements the freedom of the majority trumps the freedom of the minority. That’s what democracy is all about.”

Modern day leftism encapsulated in a nutshell.

Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, predicted “civil war.” “What we have here is a betrayal of democracy,” Hoffa claimed. “This law will allow workers to decline becoming members of a union even if the majority of their fellow employees vote that they should join the union. It puts individual rights ahead of the collective right to compel everyone to participate.”

Well done John. It's so credible in its sheer insanity that I can't tell.

Little Jimmy Jr. needs to go back to school. America IS NOT a “democracy”. Egypt has a “democracy”. America is a republic. We don’t have mob rule here.

What else would one expect him to say? The fact is, the union has lost its mission and can no longer provide benefits above what the free market would provide. Unions are going the way of the buggy whip...they just don't realize it...yet.

Thin line here, John, thin line. (ie, another great one!)

For those not aware of the special exemptions our elected representatives have conferred upon these Bolshevik thugs, read here:

Another good one John, and so right on the mark as to how those people think. Thanks for the ping.

"It puts individual rights ahead of the collective right..."

Right out of Lenin/Marx handbook folks.

John, I’m trying to see where the satire is, I don’t think there is any.

It’s so damn simple. If the unions would represent the workers and not a government party, there would be no problem. The workers could vote for their rights within their company w/o sending billions of dollars to a political party.

It’s time for the unions to go.

And Michael Moore is demanding "an end to violence" on Twitter.

Interesting times.

Brain dead. It was the only trait he required for the job.
