Public unions are not just an arm of the dem party. They are the new “mob”. I mean that. They operate just like you would see in any mob movie. I can’t describe the disgust I feel toward them - and that includes cops and firepersons.
About twenty years back some of my co-workers started rumblings about a union. I kept my mouth shut about my position in the affair. A couple of co-workers approach me and demand my position and I told them I had no use for unions. A day or two later I had management approach me and did some feeling me out on my position to unions to which I told them the same thing.
A few weeks later some of my co-workers asked about striking would I join them and I told them no and I will cross your picket line to which a couple insinuated that might be a problem for me, even extending to my home and family, careful to not make a threat out right but making a threat, to which I replied if you want to play hardball you ALL better remember I also know where everyone of you sons of bitches live if you mess with me and mine I will mess with you and yours. You a-holes asked my position and you got it. I respect your position although I don’t agree with it and you damned well will respect mine or leave me the hell alone.
The union agitators him-hawed around with the union reps and management for a few months and then it all went away. They didn’t go union...
