This is the problem with liberals vs. conservatives; we have no equivalent to “We have no morals and we will attack you.” (Ethan Krupp a.k.a. “Pajama Boy”)
And they will never quite until the achieve it. Leftists never quit. You've got to admire their persistence even though you hate their goals.
That's because they are allowed to break the law with impunity. I was personally threatened by union thugs, when I was a scrawny teenager working a summer job and didn't want to give up just over half my summer pay in return for them guaranteeing me minimum wage and an unpaid lunch break. They got away with it, of course, and I learned numerous valuable lessons about dealing with pure evil.
But we have nothing to complain about unless we are willing to fight fire with fire and make our own narrative. You can be the best defensive fighter in the world, but if you never throw a punch back, eventually even a much lesser fighter will connect with your jaw and have a chance to win. Our narrative should be “Another dangerous and dishonest effort by the extreme left to disenfranchise opposition voters and destroy the great foundations of American society - all the while funded by money coming from the shadows.”
We can fight back with our $$$, by not buying their products.
According to court papers, the executive who was stabbed in the neck asked a union organizer what benefit he would get if he hired members of the union. “You guys slash my tires, stab me in the neck, try to beat me up,” he protested. “What are the positives?”
“The positives,” reportedly replied the organizer, “are that the negatives you are complaining about would go away.”
The definition of legitimate activity is one of the questions at issue.
The Supreme Court determined in 1973 that union violence up to a point is permissible. Under certain circumstances, violent acts by union members cannot be prosecuted under federal law as extortion or racketeering.
“How Nasty Can Union Violence Get And Still Be Legal?”

I had a construction company. Union malfeasance? What do you want? I saw harassment of non union workers, vandalism, sabotage, assault. They loosened the nuts and pulled down a half built metal building. I have a ‘star’ (manufactured in Taiwan by the way) that they sprinkled on the entranceway that are designed to puncture tires. Spitting on non-union workers, broken windshields. They started up a bulldozer, put it into gear and allowed it to travel un-manned until it crushed a car in a neighboring used car lot. Not to mention sicking OSHA and the State Employment board on us. Never an arrest. Not once.
He has a pen and a phone and the IRS in his pocket.
Slowly look behind you to the “left”.
The workers voted. Nothing to challenge. If the union really cares about workers then it will accept those workers decisions on how to run their own lives...
Don’t think that the unions are going to give up this easy. They will be voting until the union passes.
My son works for a factory who recently voted down a union. Still the union is mailing all kinds of mail to him and I’m sure they will have another vote.
No different than issues that we vote for statewide or citywide, the democrats keep proposing until it passes.
“We can fight back with our $$$, by not buying their products.”
I absolutely agree. At this point, I do “look for the union label”, and if I see it I won’t buy the product. This is kind of sad, because clearly not all the workers are participating voluntarily, and I want to buy American as much as possible.
These people are slime.
Detroitizing Chattanooga.
The “lyin’ king’s” chosen appointees. When somebody complained, they were basically told to SDSTFU.
As if any statement by this President doesn't carry with it an implicit threat.
The union's opponents will be visited by the IRS or the NSA in the near future.
So, what happens if you shoot the bastard?
