Union = Communist
Union = anti-American
Union = supporter of enemies of the American people.
You are a little over the top there.
"I am a UAW member, and I'm none of the above."
I see.
Of course your experience is purely anecdotal and you're the exception, not the rule.
The reality of America's unions & an overwhelming number of their membership, OTOH, is quite different.
What the American union movement once meant, was used to accomplish (primarily collective bargaining) is today almost totally a matter of &/or covered by civil law.
Thanks in no small part to American union leadership support of candidates almost entirely from the Democrat Party over at least the past 100 years.
In the strangest juxtaposition of fate union *leaders* never imagined their steadfast longterm support of leftist candidates would result in an incremental & massive amount of legislation over the past century effectively governing nearly every facet of labor, and, ultimately rendering union representation unnecessary if not altogether obsolete.
In short in an effort to secure power, [job] security & political influence for themselves, the unions (via their leadership) have successfully destroyed themselves.
It's a hellova an irony, X.
What's left of today's unions are more Liberal-Socialist in nature than ever, supporting and endorsing Liberal-Socialist candidates (from the Democrat Party) who in turn support enemies of America who're by their very nature anti-American.
So again unless you know something I don't, let's have it.
While I commend you for your conservatism *&* patriotism given your union participation/association, yours is the proverbial rock & a hard place.
Hell I come from union people so while I'm not completely unsympathetic, I also have some insight into what I'm saying.
OK?
Nevertheless the original poster's comments were, for the most part, absolutely true and I felt not "over the top" given the reality of the situation concerning unions (et al).
...today in the USA.
