WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THE UNIONS?

Ive worked on some film sets that had Union workers and they make 4-500.00 a day and are so overstaffed they had the free time to hire in a masseuse so they can take turns getting massages. Think about the people out there who cant afford to take their kids to the movies because ticket are too expensive.

The juices seem to be more potent these days, especially when you dice them. Can't stop crying.

You first cum guzzler!

LOL!

I thought labor unions originated in the guilds of the middle ages.

I also thought redbaiting would have ended with the breakup of the USSR. You still worried about commies? Is there still a mafia? Do you really believe labor will organize again and be so naive as to let the "mafia" walk in and take over?

What money were Democrats laundering through unions? Did you just make that up? Throw out a name or link or something.

Fuckstick, you know nothing of me. But I do know about union thugs and how they have destroyed American jobs by the millions. Fact. Your threats do not worry me in the least.

Yea yea. Hide behind AC you putz.

Wha? But then someone named after a medieval trade could be found as leader of like, I dunno. The UK.

Margaret Roofer...

I was talking about American unions, and yes communism is still a threat when you lose your freedom on a daily basis.
If you dont believe money laundering is going on with unions ans the Democrats then you are blind. Richard Trumka has pratically moved into the White House.

Those your daughter's roller skates?

Or your wife's.

And your name is really Tanarus?

1) No...they began at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Didn't pay attention in history class did you?

2) yes...Democraps are laundering money via unions and the elected officials who keep that circle jerk of taxpayer money going.
AGAIN... this is OLD news and history....were you stoned all thru history class?...or even when the Wisconsin battle was going on last year?....and the year before???

It's too bad that you didn't even watch the mini-series on the History Channel about "THE MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA" and you would have had ANOTHER opportunity to learn how unions came about.

Ever hear of the Pinkertons either? Probably not.


Public education

(also brought to you by the unions)

THE MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA, was a great series. I knew most of it, but what a great educational film for those union taught students that maybe watched it.

Can people in Detroit find the USA on a map.

I found many things in that series that surprised me actually. I didn't realize what UBER tyrants the early years of the Industrial Revolution bred.
That country club based dam they made that wiped out the whole town...and most of Carnegie's reputation was sickening. There were a few other eye openers too....but it really was still kind of like The Wild West in those days and people got away with a lot.

The Boston Molasses Disaster, also known as the Great Molasses Flood and the Great Boston Molasses Tragedy, occurred on January 15, 1919, in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts in the United States. A large molasses storage tank burst, and a wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35 mph (56 km/h), killing 21 and injuring 150. The event has entered local folklore, and some residents claim that on hot summer days, the area still smells of molasses.[1]

Fascist's always go after the Unions first.

Fuck you asshole

I make 3o bucks an hour to pack cookies In boxes with 3 hour long breaks very cushy love it

It was very much dog eat dog for sure, but those players were really no different than companies today if you think about it. One will destroy the other if given the chance, but that is what drives companies to out perform their competitors. Our system, and it works well without Communist control, but is dying under it.

Unions, as an idea, are great.

They keep management honest, and get a decent wage for a hard day's work.

In practice, however, they do not police their own ranks, which leads to corruption.

If they held their members accountable, nobody would ever bash unions. If you were a member of a union, and were incredibly lazy, and were then kicked out of the union, nobody would ever bash unions.

Unions, in principle, are necessary. Corporations have, in fact, corrupted unions to the point where they have self destructed which was their plan all along.

Nobody to stand up for the worker, so they can charge less and profit more. To all of the corporate shills out there, I think you have something on your chin.

I don't know if I totally agree. Companies today have uber many more restrictions and regulations on them that prevent them from going at each others throats like the old days of the Industrial Revolution. They don't try to "destroy" each other in the same way as it was back then. It's more civilized now....and no one on that level get totally annihilated like the Vanderbilt "railroad wars".

...then again....there were no laws to stop them from doing that to each other. It's almost like they were taking clubs to each others heads back then.

It is true too, the Capitalist system....when left alone and uncorrupted by individual greed or government facists does well.....but we are talking about a Utopia that will never totally exist as long as there are men who still seek to control others and their assets.

We have one of them in the Whitehouse right now unfortunately.

Is the something nuts?

Key words, regulations and civilized. How-ever, with corrupt government entities help, some companies can get away with a great deal of undesirable behavior. General Electric being one grand example. Got to call it a night, but enjoyed the exchanges. DF

Now THIS is the TRUTH!

I was in a union once and this is exactly what happened to me...When I needed them they outright refused to represent me. I paid all my dues and was not in arrears. I had to go to "meetings" with management without a representative. I was so scared of being railroaded I took a tape recorder with me and openenly put it on the table before the managers. They told me I couldn't do that and I told them I certaily could because I had no representative there with me. The managers would then cancel the "meeting".

I have nothing good to say about unions because I have no good experience with them.

When I got a divorce in earlier years (just a woman with a little baby alone in the world with no job)....my ex-husband got his uncle to use their unions JUDGE to preside over the case and I got slaughtered.

When I did work for the union in later years the union president told the stewarts not to represent me....

so where was all the wonderfulness of the union for me?
They didn't have my back. They didn't stand up for me
Because unions are in bed with management
and I am sure there are lots of other horror stories about threats and even bodily harm to workers who did not go along to get along.

What these union workers and unions don't seem to get is that we are financially collapsing in this country period!

There is no money to maintain the past normal and we are headed into a "new normal" of poverty and third world status that won't and can't support the lives we lived in the past.

A lot of these workers have a life style that needs xxxxx amount of dollars to support them and the money just isn't there any more.

When I worked for the union......many, many people there worked all the overtime they could get and upped the cost of their lifestyles with debt. They absolutely needed that OT money to keep afloat and then the obvious happened .....the OT disappeared sending them crashing into their sea of debt and driving many of them off the cliff.

Not an isolated incident I'm afraid, I know of many.

Explain the right to work states, their economies, by and large, as compared to union states, and why people are coming to them in droves to work in those nasty corporations because they PAY well, they're more secure and the economy is better in those areas?
