If "unions" weren't synonymous with both organized crime and leftist activism it would be better all around. As it is though, crooked fat cat union bosses force workers to fund worthless union hierarchies as well as pet radical political causes and politicians that no thinking person would support on their own

Most of the money they take from the workers never goes where it's really needed, and that's just normal every day procedure for most unions

Their day is over. Relics from the days when Democrats were lynching blacks (rather than aborting black children as they do currently) that are not only unneeded but are also horribly counterproductive in many different ways

There's a reason the powers that be try to clip unions. They don't like people banding together and standing up for themselves.

But in America, that's how it is. Get used to it.

Happy Labor Day.

No! Uncle Stalky Sock Christ even I am getting confused now. You could be the handsome devilish aquatic mn-ottertail?

I always fancied number 7 The looker with the nice tits in Star Trek Tits.

America and the Brits have about the worst employment laws and conditions in the G20 nations. I guess the essence of slavery never really left those two nations.

Thank a union today!

.

As a Union member, I thank you for this post!
In an era of declining unions, I feel so sorry for many that are non-union members.
Only 11.3% of ALL working people, are members of labor unions in this day and age.

Thanks to policies started in the Reagan era, and many years of greedy corporate soulless bastards and the
equally bastard/soulless politicians that have assisted in destroying labor unions and labor laws, the Middle Class has/and is
being decimated.



NYT- the cost of the decline of labor unions




Happy Labor Day to everyone!

Status: offline 		As someone that had many different jobs when I was younger, both union and non-union,
one of the MAIN reasons I have stayed with my current job, {going on 18 years}, is because I have
a fairly strong union.

I could have the same job much closer to home, and be a non-union member.

No thank you!




Without the unions and the current labor laws, most greedy soulless corporate bastards/corporations/and the evil
politicians that support them, would have most of us in slavery if it were possible.

...wanders off muttering about evil, greedy soulless corporate bastards, and equally evil soulless bastard politicians.

Now that the unions are being killed off, the middle class is vanishing.
No economy based on consumerism can survive without a middle class.
Killing off the unions means the death of the middle class, and that means the end of the US as a major world power.

Sadly, the sort of "libertarian" who thinks that they'll magically become a member of the plutocracy if they spout enough drivel dissing the uppity proles online seem to have more of a voice than any rational analysis of the situation.
Great, innit?
