Organized labor is playing for keeps in the November 7 election.

[Brilliant]

They already have. If it weren't for the unions, the Dems would probably be outnumbered 10 to 1.

Unions Hope to Put Democrats in Power

And in other news, experts are confounded by the Pope's apparent conversion to Catholicism.

[Gay State Conservative]

Unions are dying out in this country...except for government employee unions.

[Maceman]

Now THERE'S a bulletin.

[fatnotlazy]

Union people were all over the place in my neck of the woods -- even made the local tv news. Thank goodness I don't answer the door unless I'm expecting company.

The 'RATS are the union's best hope for a Communist Amerika. It ain't going to happen with Republicans running the country.

[spectre]

I hope the unions dump all their political action millions into this election and lose big time.

And I belong to a union.

People in Hell hope to get ice water.

[Pest]

Look how well it's working in Michigan.

labor leaders have been eager to prove that unions still matter

Matter to whom? The labor leaders or their followers? What have union leaders done for the longterm job prospects of their followers these past few decades? Have they worked with business on keeping jobs at home? Have they supported stopping illegal aliens from undermining wages?

They are out of touch with their own membership on issues...

Unions should be going after Pelosi for not allowing union workers on her Restaurant, Vineyard and Lodging properties. Then she has the balls to rip Wal-Mart for not having an EE union.

[zbigreddogz]

It's funny, because labor unions still think they have power.

Unions?

I guess I'll make an obligatory stop at Walmart after voting.

Unions have literally ruined the Auto and Airline(other) Industry(s)..
NOW they want to ruin the country.. "We" can't affort the Unions..
Especially the Government Worker Union and the Teacher Unions..

Unions are ENEMYS to the United States.. Trojan Horses..

The only organized labor with political influence are the public employee unions. These should be outlawed and there were laws preventing public employees from lobbying because their income was from taxpayers and the legal thinking was it was uncomely for public officials to use tax dollars to petition for more tax dollars.

This includes the NEA, the locals Fire and Police, the Postal Service (then fully public), and all other public employee unions.

Today, these are the only unions that have political clout, yet they have no on the job issues, have better retirement benefits than social security, better health care than you or I (assuming you work for a commercial enterprise) and so on.

Parity is past. It is time for the workers in the economy to have parity with the public employees.

Elect republicans and insist on disbanding public unions!

[Navy Patriot]

Yup, the unions are the commie hope, if they can't con the entire population into voting them in, then they cripple the productive part of the economy until we have third world conditions and they try again.

The problem for the unions is that the US economy, as restricted as it is, is still too much for them, EXCEPT for the non-producer unions. That's right, the public employee unions. The perfect group for the new unions, the group whose product or service no one wants or needs, the best paid and benefited of all. There's the danger, public servants have become public masters and their union bosses are the worst of all.

Is it true more people believe in witches than there are members of organized labor in the US?
