Hillary Clinton Declares War On The Right To Work
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 9/22/2016 | John Merline

Posted on 09/23/2016 4:31:30 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

Democrats love to talk about rights. They say people have the "right to affordable health care," the "right to a debt free college education," the "right to choose," and so on.

But there's one right they apparently want to erase: The right to work.

Here's how Hillary Clinton put it in a videoconference this week at the Laborers' International Union of North America: "I will fight back against so-called right to work. Right to work is wrong for workers and wrong for America."

Come again? The right to work is wrong for America?

Clinton is referring to state right-to-work laws that give employees the right to work without being forced to join a union. In states without these laws, unions can force new and existing employees to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment at unionized companies.

Did I hear her right? They are having this at Trump’s hotel and she’s telling them how Trump is bad?

What job did you get at FedEx? I applied for lots of jobs with them and never heard anything back.

She comes across to me as someone who is on some kind of amphetamine. I always noticed that about her, one second she would look like she is about to drop, then the next time you see her she looks like she drank 9,000 cups of coffee. That's not normal, that's someone who is taking a drug. And I wonder if she has her Muslim brotherhood sidekick Huma on them as well now.

Exactly. If they would stick to the legitimate purpose of individual “conditions of employment” grievances one could consider them a positive influence. Expanding the function of the Union in pursuit of power is not productive for our country and needs to be recognized as such and the Unions need to be pushed back a good deal. Right to work is one way. Calling it one thing when it is something else is a commie tactic and just muddies the issue. Be bold conservatives! Call it what it is. Legislation to return Unions to their legitimate function. Poll tested phrases that obscure are libtard techniques.

Today, there are more Americans employed by government than manufacturing.

That says a lot about the health of our economy.

For a big government advocate who maintains that companies do not create jobs Hillary’s position on the right-to-work laws is perfectly consistent. Hillary is consistently wrong and consistently has poor judgement.

And letting Unions expand into gummint employment in a big way was a mistake. Whose idea? Bill Clinton.

"I will fight back against so-called right to work. Right to work is wrong for workers and wrong for America."

The only comfort you can take in this is that Hillary Clinton will never "fight" for a darn thing. Never has.

You neglected to mention the newest “right” the Democrat’s “deplorable” candidate has discovered and announced just a day or two ago: THE RIGHT OF EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD TO IMMIGRATE TO THE USA. And I’m not joking. She actually has taken this position.

To a Democrat a right is something the government provides you at somebody else’s expense.

Our nation was built on the right to work and free enterprise.

Not only was she first lady in a "right-to-work" state, she spent six years sitting on the board of directors of Wal-Mart -- one of the strongest opponents of unions on the planet.

"She must be aware of people talking about her mismatched eyes, and is trying to hide that by not moving them"

She's just practicing her Ben Turpin/Marty Feldman routine so she can move on to show biz when she fails to get elected.

This is her pitiful attempt to force Trump to take the opposite position and, thus, alienate union members in OH, PA, and MI.

Trump will effortlessly swat away this feeble ploy by saying it’s a state by state decision.

I would think most people forced into a union would rather not be in that union because most of their dues go to crooked politicians. What does a union do for people anyway? There are no sweat shops here anymore are there? An employer NEEDS good employees and will do whatever it takes to keep them. Unions are like appendices, we don’t need them.

The amphetamines are for the nacoleptic sleep cycles she goes into. I knew a lady years back that had narcolepsy. She would literally fall asleep standing up talking to you if she forgot to take her amphetamines that morning.

With all that is wrong with her, she couldnt get a job bussing tables at a truck stop.
