This explosive 19-page document was prepared in 2017 by Special Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy James Sherk, who was previously a research fellow at the regressive, anti-worker Heritage Foundation.

It is a long time since I have read any union propaganda. I had forgotten how they abuse language and logic.

If you are not Progressive you must be Regressive

If you are not Pro Union you must be Anti-Worker.

I know plenty of union members that are frustrated that unions protect the lazy and incompetent workers in their midst that make their work harder and more dangerous.

Then there are those that lie and blame others when they screw up.

Sometimes unions improve things but in my experience most of the time they cost workers more than they are worth.

Re: "union members that are frustrated that unions protect the lazy and incompetent workers"

My first job out of engineering school was a field engineer for a boiler company. I worked on a startup job in Longview, Washington in the early 70s. The plant was in the final stages of construction when I arrived. That was when I learned all about unions.

The electricians there nicknamed themselves the "FLEs" which stood for "Fat, Lazy Electrician." That was all I needed to know about unions. At the tail end of the job, it was all instrument wiring and, management simply could NOT get those lazy featherbedding guys off the job site.
