I've generally voted with my feet,(as far as selecting states to live in) and have never joined a union.
I know many people who perceive themselves to be forced to join labor unions, in order to retain their jobs.

They claim to hate the working conditions, including graft, corruption and the general anti-USA activities of their labor unions.

Repeal the executive (Kennedy)permission for federal government workers to unionize, and the remainder of the RICO/Labor Unions house of cards immediately falls.

We could actually enforce our hard fought for universal labor laws better, without government labor unions.
We might even be able to start to do what now is seemingly impossible, and that would be to enforce or repeal our laws!

Imagine returning to a system of just laws again!
Not what we have now, which is a system of various levels of corruption.

Unions have a place, but they need to be balanced.

Unions had their place - when this country had masses of largely unskilled and uneducated workers in production and manufacturing. Those days have been over for decades. Even then the unions were corrupt and lawless, so it could be easily argued that they never had their place. The unions most certainly never had a place in the public sector/government.

Wow. Those union people in WI are pure evil.

Isn't that the truth! We have educators of children who vote, for their own benefit, for a party that supports millions of children being murdered. Millions of children are missing from their classrooms, but the important thing for them is that they are well taken care of.

I agree they should not function in the public sector.

But they do help balance things in some cases. The problem is that the unions have gone full tilt Democrat over the years, and as a result totally corrupt.

Ronnie did not just arbitrarily fire the ATC. They broke the law forbidding them to strike and THEN he fired them.

God Bless Kristi! And God Bless all Wisconsin educators who have come to realize the truth about what the Teachers’ Unions are up to! They are up to only keeping their Union membership and money going to the Democrat Party...NOT working for teachers and students!!

As a public school teacher (retired after 43 years) I learned many years ago that the NEA was not for me or the students I taught!
