You won't go to jail if you pay off the right politicians and government agents.

A bunch of commie union members coming out of the Tman woodwork. Most of them claim to be conservatives. Yeah right.

Hooray for capitalism!

WELL,then non union workers are even lazier than that,,and they want union jobs,,but cant pass the Pee Pee test. Hahaaaaa so there.

No one seems to ask,,why did unions even come about in the first place.Hhmmmm

Unions came about cause the mob needed a new revenue stream after prohibition ended.

Needed to clean money. lol

I really kind of think unions are the least of our problems! Democrats and republicans both are big spending machines destroying our country, not to mention corporate greed that is lockstep with them. Corporations that get ridiculous green subsidies, disgusting!

Yes, I was forced to join the union if I wanted to keep the job.

But absolutely no benefits from that union membership unless
you count the privilege of paying the union mandatory dues as a benefit, lol

Did not know about forced, mandatory union membership until after
I was hired and was filling out new hire paperwork.

Like I said, the SCOTUS JANUS DECISION freed me from mandatory, forced
union membership and restored those stolen union dues to my paycheck.

I know why, because they were needed. All my kin on both sides were coal miners. My GGpa and his kin helped organize the miners Union in the 20's because they were treated like dogs. They had to work long hours in short coal, no benefits, and barely made enough money to pay rent for the coal company house and pay the grocery bill at the company store.

I was raised in a Union house as well, both parents worked in Union shops and a lot of my other kin, they all voted D. Then I got in at a UAW plant, became district steward and then was voted in to Chief Shop Steward of the whole plant. I seen first hand how lazy a lot of the workers were, I had to save a bunch of them because it was my job to save their job.

I also seen how corrupt the UAW was, how they misused dues, were in bed with politicians and so on. There was a need for Unions long ago, a true need. However over time they became as useless as our politicians but they sure still wanted those Union dues ever month. IMO, Unions suck and need to go away. Let it all go back to like it was in the early 1900's again. Then they'll be a need for them again.

Unions have become obsolete because they got the socialism they paid for.

I think that's because we all know the answer and much of it has been discussed on this thread.

Wake up people! It is not the unions, it is our 2 party system. If you think unions are the problem at this stage of the game you need to be slapped in the face to see if you are breathing.

BINGO!

That's like asking why the steam engine was invented, and arguing it should not have been replaced.

^^^^ Or the internal combustion engine,soon to be replaced.

Not to sure about the "soon" part, but eventually.

Before you crow too loud about Clinton Flat foot. Clinton economy

The bottom line is that the signature achievement of the Clinton years (the surplus) turns out to have been a deep negative. For this drag on GDP was being counterbalanced by low household savings, high household debt, and the real revving up of the Fannie and Freddie debt boom that had a major hand in fueling the boom that ultimately led to the downfall of the economy.

I was offloading once in Chitown needed 2 riggers a supervisor, and 2 spotters and was told I could not unchain the load myself unless I was union.

Unions just bleed you of money, I'm not talking about the local I'm talking about the Intel.

Unions are a byproduct of management
