The defeat in Chattanooga could prove to be the final nail in the coffin of this moribund organization.
Let it be so. When a union joins the company, or vice versa, to screw the workers it's gone way too far.
I’m sure the NLRB would like to, it’ll be interesting to see just what they do or try to do.
Bump!
I can certainly defend their existence during said time, because they were NEEDED.
Rotten capitalist pigs would let a worker have his arm sawed off, and they didn't care.
They'd get another cog in the mill take his place.
But there is literally NO place for unions now.
Workmans comp, OSHA, and all sorts of regulations have made these dinosaur unions obsolete.
And there is REALLY no place for "public sector" unions.
They work directly with democrat politicians to maximize their power and screw everyone else, particularly taxpayers along the way.
I couldn’t agree more on both private and public unions, they rip off employees.
I do believe employees should have the right to have a SMALL group that will represent them and their rights under the law for a SMALL monthly fee that’s used strictly for that with absolutely no political affiliations.
The Dems are in charge of counting the votes from the touch screen voting machines. A soros company does the counting and once the machines are downloaded there is no recourse. They are wiped clean. Those machines were designed to be fraudulent, I think. The count is what the counting agency says it is and no one can show otherwise. Individual non touch screen machines are evidently easy to hack as shown by many machines that showed Democrat candidates when Republican names were put in in the last election. Republicans hae no history of tinkering with the machines. Democrats do it as SOP. I suspect the next elections are already configured.
original buckeye,
Do you think it might be that they are registering people through every mechanism possible, (ie. Acorn, it’s new names, high school registration, drivers lic enrollment, SNAP, Obamacare, et al....) then actually voting for all of them during mail in or early voting? Just a hunch.....
You might want to re-word your post.
The story that’s barely been told is that VW supported the UAW. The reason is that VW’s corporate bylaws require plant employees to be organized under workers’ councils, as they are in Germany.
However, US federal laws REQUIRE that such councils operate under the auspices of a labor union. So, under VW’s own bylaws, any VW plant in the US MUST become unionized.
I guess this means that Volkswagen can’t locate plants in right-to-work states.
pps. “It” meaning the secret vote, of course.
It's a good site to subscribe to. You have to filter out the "Capitalism is dying" mantra they constantly espouse (they're STILL defending Trotsky fer Crissakes), but they do bring out a lot of these union-management sweetheart deals.
Same with some of their foreign reporting, where, despite their spin, they do present some interesting insights that no one else does.
Yes.
