GOP war on workers' rights privileged overpaid union thugs threatens middle class.

There.
Fixed it for them.

"Middle class" = taxpayers working in the private sector.
Unions and public employees = blood sucking incompetent parasites.

What an asinine attempt at redefining reality.

[Publius6961]

Needless to say this ploy undermines the capacity of unions to do much of anything.

In a free society, if the unions offered an honest and useful service, there would be no need to "force" workers into membership. The Unions KNOW that voluntary membership would make them tiny, toothless and ineffective.

There aren't that many incompetents flocking to join the legalized extortion clubs. Give up already!

[Publius6961]

The American economy can't get out of neutral until American workers have more money in their pockets to buy what they produce.

And what, exactly do public employees and unions "produce," you tiny insignificant troll?

An education that is a world embarrassment, Thousands of pages of destructive laws aimed at the truly productive, rules and regulations, and a clear attempt to impose a system that has failed every place it's been tried?

Did I mention $14$ trillion of public debt?

It's not "workers rights" that are being opposed, it's the Unions' abuse of workers rights that are the problem.

If this were not true, then "right to work" states would not be growing exponentially right now. People are tired of unions and union bosses and they are voting with their feet to prove it.

Never listen to what they say, just look at what is happening around them, like in Wisconsin, Boeing moving to the Carolinas, and right-to-work states thriving.

If UPS (union) workers demand too much in compensation as to render their company non-competitive with FedEx (non-union), they will lose business....

Which will bring in the NLRB to sue FedEx for unfairly penalizing the UPS workers by denying a competitive environment. FedEex will have to unionize inorder to provide a true head to head competition.

The middle class is disappearing. It is a phenomena grown in the union strengthened employment of post WW II American manufacturing. That is no more. Employment is now Darwinian. The excellent will ascend. Most however are not excellent and they are on the edge. All is takes is the loss of employment or a major illness to drop out of the middle class. It is a random walk to the lower. In the end, there will be upper and lower classes. God Help Us.

Didn't think is was really necessary.
