I think this is all going to backfire on the unions and the democrats.
“Union member” now has a pretty negative ring to most American’s ears. The stereotype is the image of an under-educated, overweight, overpaid, selfish, lazy slob who would rather see their plant close and go unemployed than make a reasonable wage/benefit concession.
Which is pretty much what they putting on display in our various state capitols right now.
This is the second shutdown of a state government by Democrats.
This is a War on the Democratic Process.
Pretty much nailed an accurate description.
There’s a GM plant here in Indy that GM was going to shut down, or sell to another company. The other company would have wanted some wage concessions from the UAW as part of the purchase agreement. Guess how the UAW voted?
Yep, GM is going to shut the plant. Some of the employees will probably get to relocate, but the rest will be out of a job.
The shear stupidity of the unions is a thing to behold.
You have accurately described what a union member IS, but I fear that the ignorant-pig-dog American voter (Obama in White House, US Senate in Dem hands) has a soft spot for union filth in their hearts. I remember even G. Gordon Liddy once saying on his radio show, “Now they’ll go on strike and engage in collective bargaining and that’s all fine and good, because it’s part of American history...” (paraphrase). I nearly fainted.
Well, after 10 year old kids were stopped from working 12 hour days, 6 days a week, the unions pretty much jumped the shark
Jimmy Hoffa et al not withstanding.
