Not long ago union advocate Stewart Acuff penned a piece for the Huffington website that was filled with soaring rhetoric about unions “creating the middle class” and pleading for voters to pressure Congress to pass the absurdly named Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). He claimed that this piece of… legislation would “restore the right to form unions and bargain collectively.”
Despite Acuff’s urgent pleading, however, he misses an elephant in the room. No one has taken anyone’s “right to collectively bargain” away from them. Of course that wasn’t the only thing that Acuff was factually incorrect about.
Why is it that union folks have to lie about everything, anyway?
Acuff starts out with a whopper...

“bargain collectively,” what does that mean, to amass an army?
When might private citizens be granted the right not to bargain with thugs? America awaits their constitutional freedoms.
Because they're leftists: Communist, Socialist, Fascist, or some combination thereof.
And leftists lie. All the time. About everything.
It's what they do.
Alligators bite.
Skunks stink.
Leftists lie.
A union is a club for wusses....
There has been one and only one thing that the unions have said about the Employee Free Choice Act that I have agreed with. One union leader was complaining that decertifying a union can be done by a signature process and it wasn’t fair that certifying a union and decertifying one had different rules. I agreed, but not in the way they wanted. Decertification should be by secret ballot too, also to prevent union reprisals against those voting to remove it.
*As opposed to anti-union union members who are only members because they work in a closed-shop state like mine.
Yeah. It was the unions that fought for secret ballots in the first place (and I actually believe they were right that time). Someone should force them to explain why they were wrong that other time, if they’re right now.
