The Longshoremen's union is going on strike on 11-25 ( in Portland). The workers at LAX airport are going on strike over the Thanksgiving weekend. Walmart employess are threatening to go on strike Black Friday. Hostess union members are going for broke. Anyone seeing a pattern here besides me?

Obviously, with "The One" guaranteed to be in power for four more years, the unions are going to spend these four years robbing this nation of any chance whatsoever to get back on their feet financially. They will use these four years expanding their power and this administration will back them at every turn.

Scary stuff - this administration is working hand in hand with unions in a power grab.

hey... this is what grandmole, the canadian socialist feminazi former (thank god) governator of the republic of michiganstan did to us for 8 years..

it actually took 8 years for the people of this union state to wake the hell up, and she was run out of town on a rail..

we are still undoing her mess, and the sound defeat of not 1 but 4 union ballot proposals tells the story..

we will survive fubo, but it will take someone with resolve to undo the mess...

a career republican ain’t gonna do it, and a “compassionate” conservative ain’t gonna do it..

I would go so far as to say a conservative ain’t gonna do it..

It is going to take a pissed off strict constitutionalist to do it..

let the search begin (son of ron paul comes to mind, he is not quite the nut job his old man is, but just nutty enough to get the job done)

Unions are only 6% of the private workforce, or so says one clown on this site from the Northeast.

If they can do this damage, that’s 6% too many, and we MUST stamp them out. Less than 1% of the US population ever got Polio, but we dealt with it and eradicated it.

I like to look at this as an opportunity.

We saw what Hostess did, They closed the doors, and the owners will sell ouit and no longer have to worry about unions. They won’t be broke they will sell their recipes for big bucks and their wares will probably get made in Mexico.

With todays unemployment record this is a good time to get rid of the Unions. Stay open, hire people who want to work.
Bring in other people and tell the Unions to go to hell.

The unions are taking a beat down in Michigan and we've even got a wishy washy governor who just wants to get along.

Proposal 2 Power Grab Demands Review of Government Unionism

My state rep is now talking about right to work and actually has some support from within the unions themselves.

I don't get it.

These greedy Liberal losers are assured a total of 8 years of free stuff... and the guarantee of many government give-away programs far into the future, which will create a state of near complete indolence for a whole class of ‘Americans’.

What is there left to DEMAND? Do we open our veins and let the blood out for them?

While I agree with you completely, the marketplace will be the roadblock that the unions & the One cannot avoid.

Hostess is the example. Businesses only exist to make a profit. Without profit, the business fails, putting unions out of work. Obama & the unions cannot get around this natural truth without nationalizing, like GM, every failed business.

Obama could very well destroy what is left of private sector unions.

In the next four years, America will permanently rob unions of their jobs... no jobs... no need for unions.

You say “Walmart doesn’t have a union.” Something we all know. Let’s keep it that way.

That's probably the goal.

Without question that is their goal. They want to crash our way of life to implement total Communism. Obama has said so many times.
