And once more, Obama CREATED THIS. He didn't have to get involved and come out speaking vehemently against Michigan's Right to Work law yesterday. He could have stayed out of it, but in Saul Alinsky style, he didn't want to let a good crisis go to waste. He wants "blood in the streets" as the Union thugs have promised. He's a Bolshevik.

Hey idiots, this ISN'T about "GOP assault on organized labor". It is ABOUT the CORRUPT a public employee unions forcing non-union workers to pay for your fucking criminal tactics and using OUR money to fund your INFLATED pensions and salaries.

To ALL you fucking union liberals who use taxpayer money to feed your worthless asses....FUCK YOU!!!!

Get BACK in the classroom and ACTUALLY teach the kids. You motherfuckers should be ashamed of yourselves and how you steal from the rest of us and then have the BALLS to corrupt the kids you are suppose to teach with your self-serving, and DISHONEST propaganda.

The worst thing about this is this: You cocksuckers KNOW what you say is totally fucking dishonest, yet, you do it anyway. You and your supporters are the WORST kind of parasites. The taxpayers don't owe you SHIT. Quit if you don't like it like the rest of us do.

You DON'T have ANY fucking rights to Government jobs. Once again...FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zack where the fuck you get this shit from is beyond me... Unions don't help for shit but bring companies down... FACT!

I left the union thugs years ago because of them I was not getting any higher up the chain.

Now I work for a union free company and get benefits paid in full, All paid holidays etc.. etc... and I make more money on a yearly basses now.

So don't be spitting shit that unions are better than non union workers...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18241510


Your FACTS are flawed,..imo. But,I am simply giving my opinion and not making public policy.

I would argue that you only get the benefits you admire, because unions fought for them in the past, and made a standard that is adhered to by employers like yours now. Without strong Unions through, all that will begin to dry up.

Forcing me to do anything encroaches on the freedoms gained by people, who through blood, sweat and tears, fought and won freedom of choice and speech for the American citizen in the past,... that today's entitlement controlled goverment slave takes for granted,... while pissing it all away in the now.
 Quoting: LunaticFringe


As far as I know, most Unions jobs pay really well. People want them and covet them for this reason. Now, you feel "forced" to want one of these jobs and have to pay your dues.

Why not work Wal-Mart then, they do not force you to pay anything, because they offer little return.

Fucking commies make you pay a "union dues" each year to shop at SAM's club but you don't bitch about that.

Must be a generational thing going here, all seems crystal clear to me,...

Maybe it time I had a couple of cold ones.

 Quoting: zacksavage


I think Michigan law makers have realized they can't afford it anymore. Add to that the unions and union shops pigeon hole the employee into singular tasks. There was a time when a union was needed but it doesn't take much to see how corrupt and power driven they have become.

Union spot welders at GM make 36 bucks an hour. That's not a skill dude, you push a button and close your eyes.

Teachers and their unions care more about politics and ideology then they do about the kids, that's why we are inching closer to the bottom of the bucket in education.

I know right. Listen to some of the people in this thread. Either they are shills are just outright ignorant. Probably the same people that post all these ridiculous fairy tell religion "look into the light" shit here on GLP.

Without workers rights and decent wages we are no different than China. Breaking Unions does nothing but lower the living standards for hard working ordinary Americans.

Someone referenced "Right to work" states having higher employment numbers. Sure they do in some cases; but do you really consider minimum wage making a living?

Look at South Carolina. Right to work. Huge unemployment numbers and the employers dont pay shit. I spent 4 years in College then 2 years in a undergrad program. I`m in College Debt up to my NECK.

8 years after college I`m still paying the loans and after a $120,000 college "investment" I`m making $12 an hour with no benefits at all and my last two employers can fire me, put my family on the street - just because he`s having a bad day.

The only way for me to make a decent living is to move up North and pray I can land a decent paying job. The only "growth" down south is $8 an hour jobs at McDonalds and Walmart.

In my immediate area of upstate South Carolina we had 13 manufacturing plants close in the last 15 years. Close to 15,000 decent paying jobs - GONE. Whats replaced these jobs? Walmarts and Retail. What does that cause? It causes small businesses and entrepeanuers OUT of business because they simply cannot compete with cheap Chinese labor and goods.

Its a catch 22. Washington has sold us out for their own greed. To top that off mainstream media along with Fox News has created a generation of degenerates that think the POOR are to blame for the increase in poverty.

Nevermind the endless wars, endless spending and constant under-minding of the constitution. The Poor are to blame! Demonize the poor!

The Media and politicians have turned Americans against Americans. Class warfare. Its just a distraction from the real cause of our suffering - THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS.

People here calling others sheep for supporting workers rights and a right to a decent living - YOU ARE THE REAL SHEEP. WAKE UP. The American government and the BANKSTERS dont give a fuck about me, you or anyone thats not 1%. Its a big fucking club and me and you aint in it.
