MAKE UNIONS FOLLOW THE LAW



I hate to get started on unionism because it gets my blood pressure up so high but I must. Detroit or shall I say the State of Michigan is union country. My family and friends are union people and I admit that unions were good for us ONCE but that was a long time ago.

Union membership has plummeted dramatically and most union leaders see the writing on the wall but they are not disappearing without a last stand.

Democrats are in power and union leaders are saying they put them in power. Reality says the Iraq war put the Democrats in power. Union leaders say the Democrats owe them and the Democrats will probably agree.

The unions want the Democrats to pass labor legislation to allow unions to organize companies by just collecting signatures, not votes. The unions have been stymied in the past when workers voted NOT to unionize. By not allowing the decision to unionize to be voted on, they can unionize a company on the sly.

Don’t understand? Unions can always get workers to sign a card to unionize, they just twist their arms, threaten their families, burn their cars, kill their dogs; need I go on. Those things don’t happen any more? Oh contraire, the unions have not changed a lick and they, after all, are fighting for their very lives.

James P Hoffa (Teamster) is leading the charge to ban voting or as they call it, allow unionization through signature collection “Employees Free Choice Act”; what a bunch of horseshit.

Write your Congressman, especially if he or she is a Democrat.
