"Union fat-cats...myth or reality?"

“With private-sector unions spinning down to insignificance, government worker unions are the only growth area for organized labor. But even that has been problematic, as states continue to crack down on powerful government worker unions and local governments find expensive payrolls and benefits packages unaffordable. On the federal level, pay freezes and furloughs have taken their toll too.”

To be so anti -freedom and anti-living wage is just nutty !For the life of me I cant fathom how the righties here can harbor such hate against a organization that has benefited almost all working americans ! Through the efforts of unions there are things like child labor laws, 40 hr work week, insurance, sick pay, increased safety,vacations , and the list goes on and on ! Why cant these weak-minded brain-washed "people" understand that without union struggles we would all still be working 80hr weeks ,6 days a week for nearly nothing ! Thats not democracy thats slavery !

Well numbnuts , you keep saying they haven't a choice and I have proven they do, so you just keep up this inane blather and I'll just keep on proving you an ignorant fool !Whenever a person goes to work they make a CHOICE ! They CHOOSE to either work at a union shop or the CHOOSE to work at a non union shop ! Either way they make a CHOICE !!!The average worker—unionized or not—working in a right-to-work state earns approximately $1,500 less per year than a similar worker in a state without such a law.

And they already have the right to decide when they CHOOSE either to work union or not !When will wrongriki stop lying ? We are ohio.co m

Lets end this republican war on working people “Right-to-work” laws are outdated and a throw-back to the anti-union agenda of another era. “Right-to-work” state laws are redundant and unneeded when the current federal law is actually examined. “Right-to-work” laws represent destructive economic development policy guided by extreme partisan politics. The goal should be to raise the standard of living for hard-working Hoosier families, not lower it. Hard-working buckeye families deserve better than an antiquated law designed to raise corporate profits and lower worker wages and benefits. "we are ohio" . c om

“ “ "It doesn't matter to us if [workers] join or not, just as long as they have the right to decide," ” ”

You see this is what Im talking about ! we are ohio .co m Remember SB5 ???

For "people" like wrongriki , who cant accept the facts that prove them wrong , its a sad state of affairs that even after being debunked they keep up this constant barrage of ignorant right-wing crappola !Wrongriki and others like it are all that's wrong with these forums !How does it feel wrongriki to whine about your "freerider" bullsh&t all the the while collecting welfare ( A free ride ) ! Typical republican !

VOTERS and TAXPAYERS: Whom do you believe?

Wrongriki who must always post right-wing propaganda and lies! Who follows the republican mantra of deny , deflect , mis-lead and lie ! And uses rabid republican garbage factories to shore up its bullsh%t !

Same crap from wrongriki ! They make their choice !And heres a common sense thing to do ! If you dont like unions you have a choice , DONT GET A JOB THERE !!! When you consider that 87% of jobs are non -union there must be tons of non-union jobs out there ! People make choices everyday and most live with their decisions but for a very few, they decided to work at a union shop for the better pay and benefits and then decided they didnt want to pay their fair share ! Just like the typical republican right ?" we are ohio" .co m The average worker—unionized or not—working in a right-to-work state earns approximately $1,500 less per year than a similar worker in a state without such a law.Right to Work For Less By ThinkProgress War Room on Dec 10, 2012 at 5:26 pm "we are Ohio". c om

The Eight Lies Behind The Republican Push For Right To Work Laws However, as we have seen over and over again, the meme that corporations can’t make a profit if they have to pay workers is a lie (lie #2), and that is the premise of the first lie. Germany is a great example of what happens when workers and labor are valued and have a seat at the table, as exemplified in their “codetermination system”. This system requires, by law, the appointment of worker representatives to a company’s board of directors.

“ “Unless unions start to give their members a reason to stay, or unless they can convince new members to join their ranks, then organized labor in America will only continue its slow decline into irrelevancy.” ”
