When did unions cross the line from being workers who want to collectively negotiate with their employers to becoming gangs that threaten non-members?

It started with the first union.

“”share any tools, knowledge or support” “

And right there is the basis for removing that union from every country in America for intentional sabotage.

Or has it always been that way?

It's always been that way. It is the nature of the beast.

Unions are an arm of the democrat party and, just like the dems, have no principles.

For the most part labor unions, especially the large, wealthy ones, have devolved into little more than extortion rackets backed by the corrupt federal government.

Politicians manipulate the laws to give the unions government backing and carte-blanche to extort money from members and employers.

Then the unions kick back part of the loot to the same politicians who protect them and give them government coverage to run their extortion scams.

The union bosses and the politicians posture for the public, pointing out what great humanitarians they are and patting themselves on the back in congratulations for the wonderful work they do.

Meanwhile, the working man, who is at the bottom of the heap, foots the biggest part of the scam with the wages he must pay the union for the right to work and earn a living.

It has always been that way. Unions are communist, and in the communist world, one must be prepared to sacrifice ALL for the Collective. That means liberty, limb, and yes, even life itself.

Active site sabotage is a union trademark.

It was that way over 40 years ago. I was personally threatened by union goons who said they would break both of my arms if I didn't quit my job. I have hated and despised unions, and all evil, ever since then.
