I am not anti-union.

I AM anti-union. The organized labor movement from the beginning was a front for international marxism. It's rotten to the core.

Unions are OK as long as there isn’t a gov’t agent standing behind them pointing a gun at everyone,

or protecting the union thugs while THEY point guns, or fists, at everyone.

I know some here at FR are anti-union and others want to ban unions from existence. However, the rights of the citizens to assemble for peaceful purposes is a specifically protected right under the 1st amendment. Just like shareholders have the right to form a business which is very similar to a union in concept.

I suspect that if we had real journalism in this country, that they would find the largest by far, positive impact on the worker in America was free enterprise, especially the initiative taken by Henry Ford to raise wages to $5/day.

At the time, workers could count on about $2.25 per day, for which they worked nine-hour shifts. This action was free enterprise at its best.

My family NEVER made up the personal financial losses as a result of strikes in the steel industry. A few pennies an hour increase in wages was never enough to compensate for hundreds or thousands of dollars lost in wages, lost opportunities, lost credit ratings, and threats of physical violence to my father if he did not show up on a picket line.

Although I was just a kid I ran the numbers; there was no contest.
