......And this is a bad thing?

‘Reward your friends and punish your enemies,’

Now where did I recently hear those words?

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.

[Peter from Rutland]

Enact legislation that makes all unions illegal. Anyone caught organizing one will be executed.

I know, I can dream right?

[rightwingextremist1776]

They better fear for their very existence.

[Marty62]

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

[JHBowden]

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.

[RJS1950]

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.

[Kieri]

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.

[wac3rd]

Public unions need to be ended yesterday. Cops included.

401K is the way.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Unions. A boon to the working man 50 years ago
A boon to lazy rotten bastards and Union Boss Leadership nowadays.

[paulcissa]

Labor unions are monopolized labor and by definition should be illegal.

[rhombus]

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.

[melancholy]

Rights my @ss!

They should be dealt with a la Reagan’s confrontation with the Air Traffic Controllers!

[reagan_fanatic]

Another bill would severely crimp labor’s campaign spending by barring unions from using any portion of a union member’s dues money for political purposes unless the member first gives written permission.

This should already be law.

[cripplecreek]

I predict civil war within the unions. They blew big bucks on this election and its all for nothing

[dps.inspect]

Poor sweeties... no more tax money to fund their retirement and healthcare entitlements? You mean they’re going to have to live like the rest of us Americans? Poor babies!

"Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool." -- Clinton presidential aide Paul Begala, July 1998

President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.

This is why unions should again be outlawed for public employees.
