I’m not flamming anyone. I am making a point however. If it is on-going criminality that you choose to base an indictment of unions on you can easily do the same for both major political parties and business in general.
As to the issue of union interest signings replacing an N.L.R.B. sanctioned election, business has acted at least equally criminal in fighting union organization as any union has in organizing.
When union coercion is mentioned there isn’t usually a mention of business coercion of employees, such as forced working off of the clock, removal of overtime hours from time cards and sexual, verbal and physical abuse by supervisors, plus willingly and knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.
In the last instance some major American businesses have struck deals with coyotes to smuggle illegal aliens into the United States for employment in their facilities.
Let us not forget the looting of company pension plans by the buyout artists in the 80s or the recent examples of Enron, WorldCom and their big name,outside accountants.
When it comes to criminality unions are minor league compared to some of our businesses.

I’m pro-union except for gubbermint unions. They are thieves and scum who work with local Democrats to rig pay raises and bennies as best they can.

I’ve read a lot of bullsh*t here at times, but your posts rank right up there with the biggest of the steaming loads.

Unions control most inner city voting machines and deliver them with clockwork regularity, right to the point of precincts reporting 100 democrat, and have done so for a century.

Businesses control nothing of the sort because they are not here to promote a socialist state in America, they are here to do business. - Take a walk.

"I’m not flamming anyone"

This phrase is posted regularly at DU. In 1.5 years and just under 3300 posts, I have not seen it here.

I agree with you somewhat, however, political parties pay a price at the polls businesses get sued. What are the consequences for the union thugs?

BTW, union thugs are the reason I’m self employed. I never bought the idea that companies ‘owed’ me anything more than what I earned at the end of the week. Now, I hire people to do the work needed. I never GAVE anyone a job!
