To all you anti-union people.
I currently live in an "at-will" state.

Employers can fire you for no reason. There is no legal requirement to even give you a reason.

But, with a union, if your fired, you can file a grievance.

With this, the union investigates, and if they determine you were fired for a stupid reason, they can reverse the termination.

This offers you security with your job. Without it, and if you live in an "at-will state", an employer can fire you for your tie being crooked.

I won't go on to what else a union does, but the message is simple...

I want to say "screw you" to anyone who bashes the unions.

Anyone who thinks a union is bad, needs to educated themselves on what unions have done for people over the years.

If you think working 14 hours a day for min. wage, under the nose of a boss who can fire you for breathing is just fine and dandy, then bash the unions all you want.

Yes, there are good and bad unions. Some unions demand too much for their employees. These kinds of unions are the ones the GOP likes to smear to make all unions look bad. This is because the GOP likes to generalize, stereotype, and paint things with a wide brush.

My father worked for a rubber factory, which was union. He was fired twice for trivial reasons. If it was not for the union, he would of been out the door.

Do you know what large party wants people to work long hours, for little pay? The communists.

So either be a commie, or take the stick out of your ass, the dick out of your mouth, and QUIT BASHING UNIONS.

Re: To all you anti-union people.
wrongful termination laws, each state has them.


[link to www.wrongfulterminationlaws.com]

Wrongful termination is covered in all states by federal laws such as the FLSA and Civil Rights Act. However, ever state has different employment laws regarding "at will" employment, employment contracts and more. Discrimination based on nationality, race, ethnicity, gender or sex, age or disability is illegal in all fifty states, and usually the cause for many wrongful dismissal cases.

Those laws are if you get fired for discrimination or whistle blowing, and other things. Those laws do not cover everything.

Get educated. Get a better job. Make intelligent career decisions, work hard and do your best and you will have a great work-life.

Never had a need for unions myself, just personal responsibility. Handing responsibility for your ongoing employment or fiscal future to a trade union is just giving up your freedom.

Ask yourself why union leaders tend to be wealthy with nice homes, trophy wives and schmick suits? Because thats where your union fees go. They no more represent you than your employer does.

The problem is that when you try to fire shitty employees the union always file grievances. It is too hard to fire bad employees.

Re: To all you anti-union people.
My personal experience with unions was not good. They protected their friends and ignored the rest of us. They just wanted my money. When i did file a complaint it was all but ignored. I was not the union bosses best buddy. i quit the union but still had my money I would have paid taken out.

I learned the only way to protect yourself was to become replaceable by doing the best job I could. The union was a waste of money in my experience.

Um, ALL the Unions are run by the JEWS!

They make YOU pay them money to belong,

and then funnel that money into Political Contributions

Political Contributions ONLY to JEW Freindly Communists.

So, in a nutshell, YOU don't want to be fired, and are willing to be used as a money machine by the Stinking Scurvey JEWS in return for Communizing every one else.

So that's where it stands.

Your Expected JEW Buddies will sell your @ss out from under you as soon as communisim in place.

Look at History.

No one cares if you get fired as long as you are a WILLING Cog in the machine to communize America.

Here, watch this video and educate yourself about your Held-In-So-High-Esteme Hebrews (and don't let Yourself be cannon fodder for their Evil Ways)

Btw: Your Dad worked at a Rubber Plant; they don't call them that anymore. Now they are refered to as Con-Domes. Anyway, take a look at the Video and LEARN who these Evil Union People Really Are.

Re: To all you anti-union people.
I am against public employee unions.

I don't mind unionizing private employers. Nor do I mind if workers cannot get a union. With private employers I can see an argument on both sides.

I have always worked non-union, and I could have been fired for any reason or no reason. It's the way it is in my experience. I don't mind someone else having no protection, but on the other hand I never had it so I don't want to pay more for someone else to have what I could not have. Mixed feelings.

When young I worked at a yarn knitting plant.
Union organizers came in and convinced a bunch of dumbasses
to vote union, which they did.
Plant shut down the next day, which organizers knew would happen, just did not want a plant open that was non-union.
150 out of work, union reps on a bus outta town, all during

Re: To all you anti-union people.
It is not that unions per-se are bad - workers do need effective representation and solidarity to stick up for themselves.


But when your unions have been targeted and co-opted to serve progressive communist interests and are engaged in a Cloward and Piven, collapse the system strategy - that is quite a different thing.

The union workers in other plants profited at the expense of your jobs.

It's like the story of my life. There are all these great social programs and stuff, but at a fairly young age I figured out that I would never be the beneficiary; they were careful never to mention this to me, but it's how it is.

So I became opposed to the social programs, and screw the targeted beneficiaries.

They simply sell off all of the Equipment in the plant to China,

then start making them there.

They have already started making Ho-Ho's there. They call them Ho-Ho-Che-Mins, and on the foil wrapper is a smiling face of good ole Ho-Che-Min himself.

Here are some current pictures of how things will be under communism for regular (non-Jew) people.

Hope you like all dressing the same in rags, and pedling bikes,
because that is what communism was, IS and Always will be.

Coolie Labor at the Point of a gun for your Jewish Masters:

Commie Public Transportation; Keeping the Planet Green by riding bikes!

Commie Forced Labor; now you sell Oranges.
Don't sell enough, you will be reassined to work as a Prostitute.
Fail at the that, then you are a Useless Eater and will be turned into fertilizer.

Commie Teamsters:

and the list goes on....btw under Communism Deoderant and Tampons are only availible to the masters, not the Slaves.....So you do the math.
