Remove ‘Right to Work’ and the unions rule the roost. Costs of doing business go up, unions collect more dues, giving them more money to buy politicians to force more businesses to hire union members, causing costs doing business to rise. Vicious cycle continues. When businesses close, workers go on the dole and vote for the politicians that promise the most benefits. When everyone is supported by the government, the politicians shut down the unions as they are no longer needed.
Hitler cozied up to the unions to get the majority of votes needed to be chancellor and when in office, his first official act was to ban all unions. The union leaders that complained had their heads beaten in with bats and the rank and file didn’t say much as they were too busy with the fit of their new military uniforms...
Hillary’s template.

Unions may have had a place when industrialization was beginning and manufacturing was the employ of the members or manufacturing related transport. Today gummint employees are a huge percentage of members. That being the case it is a matter of them vs the taxpayer not them vs an eccentric billionaire. If today’s Unions were to stick to employee grievances of on the job issues (no need to cover pensions and healthcare, taxpayers do that) they would have productive purpose. Tenaciously defending the socialist/communist advances they have dearly striven to produce from their beginning to the detriment of our country pushes them from a productive resource to a very negative. Today they are merely a money laundering scheme and ready source of thugs for a corrosive influence in public affairs.

I see freeperized history marches on unabated. Hitler was named chancellor by President Hindenburg. He was not elected to that position.
