Michigan Teamsters Local No. 214 filed a lawsuit alleging that the State's right-to-work law constitutes an “unconstitutional reinstitution of slavery.”
“Unions are a worker's main protection against employer abuse and mistreatment,” union spokesman Peter Piddler maintained. “Abuse and mistreatment are the hallmarks of involuntary servitude. For the State to allow a person to work without becoming a member of a union opens the worker to abuse and mistreatment and is, therefore, an endorsement of slavery.”
“Slaves weren't allowed to form unions,” Piddler pointed out. “That was a crucial block to their attainment of full human rights. Unions compelling every worker to be enrolled as a member liberates workers from the virtual slavery that is every employer's ultimate objective.”

So ... freedom now equals slavery
How Orwellian
Right-to-Work Laws = Employment
Peter Piddler is my cousin.
so I wonder if the unions would accept that paying someone else so I can work (i.e. union ‘dues’) should be considered share cropping???
uh, slaves can’t quit.
Loki: Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.
Rather comedic, no? Being forced to belong to a group which demands tribute is freedom while being able to make personal choices and keep all of your post tax pay is slavery!
“Slaves weren’t allowed to form unions,” Piddler pointed out.
And if the place of employment is a union shop you can’t work there without joining the union and paying the dues that they set.
Just what are you trying to say? Slave were not allowed to form unions or as a modern day slave you can’t work in a union shop without joining the union.
The liberal C of C won’t give up on right-to-work; so it stands in some twenty-two states.
I’ve been under the impression that comparing anything to slavery is racist.
[ Rather comedic, no? Being forced to belong to a group which demands tribute is freedom while being able to make personal choices and keep all of your post tax pay is slavery! ]
I wondered about that as well.
Also kinda like after Slavery was over the landlords would look over their former slave’s shoulders to make sure they “voted the right way”....ie. “Card Check”

Because all slaves ever have only been been bleck folks stolen from Africa by white people...
Hmm, I guess I am really not actually Slavic then, guess i will havwe to tell my ancestors they were lying...
Not too bright, those union goons, eh?
But then again, look at our joke of a president.
And his “Soo-Preeemmmee” Court.
Yup, CW-II’s probably in our future.
Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.
Does this mean we should advocate urinating and defecating in their mouths? Because obviously they don’t understand what “slavery” means.
Right Mr Bashir? Yes? No? Hmmm....
Not being forced to join a union to get a job = slavery??
“WPA = We Piddle Around” (my dad)
The union thugs want a cut of everything a worker makes. I think I’ll stick with the “slavery” thing. None of my paycheck goes to the knuckledraggers in the unions to get commie lib ‘RATS elected.
The slave masters (unions) calling free worker employees slaves?
