They must also fear going back to work. There are a lot of union workers that are not earning a paycheck.

MAKE THEM DEFINE THE TERMS
What “rights” are they talking about?
MAKE THEM DEFINE THE TERMS
and leftists will always lose the argument.

Enact legislation that makes all unions illegal. Anyone caught organizing one will be executed.
I know, I can dream right?
To: lbryce
They better fear for their very existence.

The first thing that has to be done is a full scale investigation into SEIU. Their finances and intimidation tactics. Especially the pension funds.

I’m sure you were posting with your tongue firmly in your cheek, but...
no need to make unions illegal. Just as there is no need to make immoral behavior illegal.
Just repeal all laws that support union power,
give the choice back to the people,
enforce laws against intimidation and thuggery,
and unions will go bye bye all on their own.

What rights are they talking about? Precisely. These aren't 'rights', they're Government enforced privileges.

The entire point of a union is to keep people from working.
By creating barriers to entry in a given labor market, they raise their own wages by restricting supply. That's the point of
monopsony. As a consequence, the public suffers through higher prices, the unemployed suffer through fewer available jobs, companies suffer from less competitiveness.
Screw the unions.

The union scumbags have no rights to any of our tax dollars or any other rights not defined by the Constitution. Special deals made for them can and should be rolled back.

I hope the GOP rips the funding guts out of the unions. They’ve nearly destroyed Michigan, and the fight to defund the forced unionization of day care providers here is still in court.
They are despicable. Once upon a time they served a good purpose but not anymore. Screw ‘em.

Public unions need to be ended yesterday. Cops included.
401K is the way.

Unions. A boon to the working man 50 years ago
A boon to lazy rotten bastards and Union Boss Leadership nowadays.
To: lbryce
Labor unions are monopolized labor and by definition should be illegal.

How about rolling FORWARD the rights of people who DON’T belong to unions?

Samuel Gompers:
Gompers retained a certain sympathy for the ideas of Karl Marx throughout his life, although believing that the socialist movement had been captured by Lassallean advocates of “political party action” rather than the “militant economic program of Marx.”[15] /Wiki
He was one of socialist ‘founding fathers’ of the union movement in the US. Of course he was a British Jew.

Another bill would severely crimp labors campaign spending by barring unions from using any portion of a union members dues money for political purposes unless the member first gives written permission.
This should already be law.
