Hmmm. Can you say "moving our production out of the country"? Then again, it's kinda hard for the afsc(um)e and seiu to do. So, will the teamsters refuse to transport products from companies that have moved off shore in protest? Probably not.

‘Big’ Labor isn’t so ‘big’ any more.
Looks like they would realize that, sooner or later.......................

More chants for more union extortion. Keep raising wages - keep driving business OUT OF THE USA. It will continue to happen as long as RATS are in control and pandering to unions for votes and power in exchange for catastrophic wages and taxes.

The leadership supports Hillary, the rank and file support Trump.

Big Labor is easy to defeat. One must simply separate the union bosses from the rank and file. Just as with our dear leaders in DC, the Union Bosses have little in common or have little concern for those that they are supposed to represent.

The Democrats have lost large numbers of rank n file union members this election cycle. They see the light.

Frankly Scarlett I didn’t think they “made the case” at all. If you are into lies, distortion, and deception, well they made a case. They do love minimum wage. What an oxymoron.

1. Congress passes a law making it illegal for any worker being paid with government funds, to organize or be part of a union

2. Current government union workers go out on strike

3. Eliminate those jobs

Result: Hundreds of billions saved yearly

“We need a president that wants to raise wages instead of one that thinks wages are too high and doesn’t even think there should be a federal minimum wage,”

There shouldn't be a federal minimum wage.

Unions always love Democrats. They match corruption. Unions have destroyed much of America in the last few years. Nothing new here.

Trump for President.

Methinks the rank-and-file will strongly go for Trump.

It appears that some insiders in D.C. are making money on moving our production out of the country.

The “Leaders” are only interested in compulsory union dues and the resulting $750,000 salaries for Stewards. It’s all a con game.

The leadership of labor unions is no different from the leadership of political parties - they make the right noises at election time, but in reality they DON’T represent their constituents, they ONLY represent themselves.

I would hope that the general membership of most unions would come to grips with that, and vote for someone who promises to change things on a national level. Voting Hillary is voting for more of the same, which is to say even more factories being shut down, and more of you guys and gals out of work.

Hey, UMW members in West Virginia, did you know that electing Trump would be disastrous for your worker rights?

Not that it would matter...

I think we will eventually see most of the labor movement align with whatever the Republican Party becomes.

It is becoming increasingly obvious to the rank and file that the Democrat Party has abandoned them for other, more preferred, interest groups.

The labor bosses continue to be big sell-outs, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Trump win a majority of the votes of the rank and file.
