THUGGISH, MARXIST UNIONS THREATEN VIOLENCE IN UNITED STATES?
Simple questions?
- Do you want your state to demand that you join a union before you can work in certain companies?
- Do you want money extracted from your wallet to be used by unions to promote politicians, policies and political parties that you do not support?
- Do you want the unions to continue their “cycle of corruption” in threatening politicians with the loss of their elected offices if they do not support higher wages, larger benefits, guaranteed jobs and work rules that insure higher costs with no corresponding increase in productivity?
- Do you want to reward seniority over merit, the status quo over innovation, and work rules which increase the numbers of employees without increasing productivity?
- Do you want the unions to make your state less competitive than other states who have enacted “right to work” laws?
- Do you want to see your job outsourced?
You have seen what the unions have done in the aircraft industry, the airlines, the railroads, the auto industry, the steel mills, the clothing industry and elsewhere. Unsustainable wages, healthcare, and pension costs which increase the legacy cost of all products and services beyond a competitive value. Pricing products and services out of the market and forcing manufacturers to outsource jobs.

Why the unions are mad …
The have fought long, hard, and sometimes dirty to win the right to demand that employees join “bargaining units” at union shops. So they believe that non-union workers will be capitalizing on the hard work of the unions that fought for existing wages, benefits and work rules.
But it appears that the unions are dominated by socialists and their leadership has been corrupted by power to a self-serving extent. Then there is the little-mentioned connection with organized crime.
The days when unions were necessary to preserve health and safety are long gone. Now it is all about money and power. The average employee has access to numerous agencies to redress their grievances, so union mediation has become unnecessary.
Bottom line …
There is little or no doubt in my mind that labor unions are tightly coupled with “international socialism” and represent a clear and present danger to the United States. Holding America and Americans hostage to their demands and political agenda.
Many states and municipalities are facing bankruptcy because of unfunded pension liabilities incurred during good times when politicians were coerced into supporting unions and their demands in exchange for campaign contributions and voter support. In essence, the unions replaced the taxpayer’s representative at the bargaining table with their own stooge and looted our treasury.
Do you want to see the type of crippling municipal strikes you see in France, Greece and other democratic socialist states?
Do you want to experience ever-rising prices for everything you purchase? Do you want the bulk of your tax money to be spent repairing or replacing our decaying infrastructure or simply pushed into union-controlled and union-managed pension funds?
Do you want to see employers continue to outsource to other states and nations?
Do you want to see a special class of citizen – the union worker – exempt from the public policies which rule your life.
This is not about unions – it is about freedom and your right to choose where you will work and who you will support politically.
In the final analysis, are you for capitalism or union-style socialism?
