So now forming a union is a basic human right?


Yeah, just like the basic human rights to murder your unborn child and live off the taxpayers.

The union membership is so old now, the only ones left are hip breakers!

"IMO, unions have long ago outlived their usefulness……"

My paternal grandfather was born in 1888, immigrated to this country and went straight into the coal mines at age 13. He worked in some horrendous conditions but, according to family lore, had arrived at the same conclusion by the 1950s. He felt not only had the unions outlived their usefulness, but they would ultimately kill the golden goose.

"You can’t hire good leg breakers anymore."

Those "good old boy rednecks" up in Tennessee and other parts of the South are more likely to "do" leg breaking than to be recipients of same.

I really love my tagline (see below). However, your post made me think (for a minute) that it would be just as accurate for it to be , “MSM..We print the news as it fits our views.” It really fits in that form, doesn’t it?
Hey, anyone who wants it...be my guest. MSM I mean.

“...would make it an international issue and declare TN backwards, redneck...”

Elsewhere in the media it has already happened. The Slimes
called the Southerners “hereditarily anti-union” in this
story.

In elitespeak, this means, Well shucks Gomer. I iz dun
know bout anything helps us beein a communist country.

It seems hard to believe the union didn’t demand, in the finest democrat party tradition, a recount, the first step to stealing the election.

It was “unexpected”. Everyone take a drink.

The Saturn cars were made in Spring Hill, TN, south of Nashville and at least 100 miles from Chattanooga.
