i need some help. my latest union newsletter is so hateful to Bush is made me sick. i think a union is a good balance to management but ours, like so many others is a lapdog of the libs.

i am writing an artical to counter all this crap but i need some help.

1.the "job loss" of Bush. can someone site a source
showing the huge turn around Bush made to the positive.
2.why bush was better for postal workers then kerry
3.truth about postal reform and the postal commission.
4.and this is the BIG one, why do conservative letter carriers who support their union not vote for the liberal ticket the union endorses.

I would suggest a remedial course in grammar, capitaliztion, and spelling before writing an article.

The thing is, W probably is bad for the postal union. Real postal reform will mean having to become more competitive, which will mean having to increase the productivity of all the fat slobs who sort the mail. The main job of unions is to protect their workers from competition.

Just went through this yesterday with 'Jarl'.

Leave the post office and get a job where you can earn some real money. Unions suck.

postaldave,

while I'm sure you're an excellent civil servant I can't help you. The postal service should privatized IMO. I'm sure you've seen the waste that goes into the bureaucracy at the USPS.

I doubt that Bush has the stones to make the move necessary to privatize though

Welcome to Free Republic. If you want answers to your questions, you might want to demonstrate your sincerity by participating in your thread. Otherwise you just prove to us that you are a troll.

Kerry never stood for anything so I would not have expected anything good form socialists Kerry. Clinton fired 800,000 federal workers so some agencies could no longer function and got rid of high paid workers but could not find anyone that wanted to work for the new low pay scales.
Bush on the other hand, hired thousands TSA baggage inspectors. Unions tend to try to get the rank and file people to vote against their own best interests and vote to make the union powerful but not for the good of members or country!

The union's main goal is to siphon off dues money to democrat candidates despite the interests of the rank and file. The unions are a subsidiary of the democratic party. It's good to see some union members taking action to reverse this.

do you have source for that? that fact would be very helpful. they just LOVED clinton.

First there never was the job loss that the left said. One can, with some thought, figure it out rather easily. In the year 2000 the recession started under the Clinton administration. In that year there were a number of people living and working in the United States. Four years later the unemployment rate was the same as when Clinton ran for reelection in 1996 however there were approximately 10 to 20 million more people in the job force due to births and immigration. So if there were that many new people in the labor force and the unemployment rate was the same as 1996 there were job gains not loses. The losses that the Left talks about are old time manufacturing and other type jobs in large industries. The trend over the last eight years has been toward smaller companies and there is no data base except for the unemployment rate to understand how many of the work force are employed by small companies or are self employed.

Why are you yelling at me?

[postaldave]

great reply, THANK YOU

this is what i was hoping to find.

This answers a question I've had for awhile.

Recently, before the election, my longest friend, a guy I've known since Jr. high school started spouting a few democrat talking points, which was out of the ordinary for him since he has never even mentioned politics before.

In fact, when I talked to him before about politics I realized he didn't know beans, like he didn't know Republican positions from democrat positions at all. I just figured he didn't follow the news or stay abreast of politics.

Lately, he started turning a little leftist but I could bat everything he said out of the park with the facts. I figured maybe he was being indoctrinated by his new girlfriend. But here's the thing. They both work for the postal service. I guess those newsletters are doing the trick on them.

Why are you yelling at me?

i wasn't.

1. THIS IS YELLING!!! WELCOME TO THE INTERNET!!!

i was speaking up because you were being rather rude.
sorry if i hurt your feeling.{grin}

"I would suggest a remedial course in grammar, capitaliztion, and spelling before writing an article."
How about some spelling lessons before criticizing others?

"They both work for the postal service. I guess those newsletters are doing the trick on them."

sad but true. here is the problem. about half of us southern postal workers are NOT leftist lapdogs and get really pissed off when we read page after page of ANTI-BUSH crap being written with our union money.

people often make fun of the south but we have values and really can't stand that northern-gay-treehugging-abortion happy-antiUS thinking.
