The Dumbo craps have been taking union dues money for political purposes ever since Raygun broke the unions, and what have they achieved????
NADA
ZIP
NOTHING
............................................
Prospects for a health overhaul have faded. Even slimmer are the chances of achieving labor's chief goal, passage of a bill making it easier for unions to organize workers. A bipartisan jobs bill passed this week by the Senate drew tepid praise from the AFL-CIO president, Richard Trumka, who called it a "Band-Aid on an amputated limb" -- far short of what unions wanted.
This wasn't what unions expected a year ago after spending more than $400 million to help elect Obama and increase the size of Democratic majorities in the Senate and House.

The Unions are trying to get a bill passed that will do away with the NLBR overseeing/conducting the voting process. All that needs to be done is to sign the card calling for the vote, and if 51% sign, the union is in.
It was getting Democrat support in the House, and may still be. |

Read and weep, Brantski.....
...........................................................................
Main article: Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (1968)
Only a short time into his administration, federal air traffic controllers went on strike, violating a regulation prohibiting government unions from striking.[95] Declaring the situation an emergency as described in the 1947 Taft Hartley Act, Reagan held a press conference in the White House Rose Garden, where he stated that if the air traffic controllers "do not report for work within 48 hours, they have forfeited their jobs and will be terminated."[96] Despite fear from some members of his cabinet over a potential political backlash,[97] on August 5, Reagan fired 11,345 striking air traffic controllers who had ignored his order to return to work,[98] busting the union.[99] According to Charles Craver, a labor law professor at George Washington University Law School, the move gave Americans a new view of Reagan, who "sent a message to the private employer community that it would be all right to go up against the unions".[99]

Point being, buddy, that Brantski stated that Raygun broke one union.....and I read that his action was the beginning of the downfall of the power of unions........didn't you, buddy???? _________________ Exposing the secular humanist liberal "progressives". |

I read that Batboy and Elvis are living on an island. We're still waiting for you to make a valid point. _________________

"Read and weep, Brantski....."
Sorry, Brant...I must agree with Phony. The power of onions does make you cry, and that makes it hard to read... So I think I should have a right to vote for or against them...
I also deserve a MYoPIA...(Missing your point intentionally award) _________________ where-ever you get it - there you have it. - Anon. |

Me too, Brant, It was a crushing blow to organized labor and one that shocked Unions back into the world of reality when it needed a wake-up call.
The union members who assumed they were infallable also weakened the other labor unions and in a way, eased the path to jobs to be outsourced down the road.
But like Free, I want to have a vote as to whether or not I want any one representing me in my work place and not be a cow marching up to air hammer to get whacked in the skull.
