When the AFL-CIO merged in the 1950s, one of every three private-sector workers belonged to a labor union.
Now, only about 8 percent of private-sector workers are unionized.
One of the biggest in a long list of failures was the Republicans never passing Federal Right to Work laws.
Its gonna be a little hard to do since they also voted in San Fran Liberals who want open borders which in turn drives wages WAAAAAYYYYY DOOOWWWNNN!!! Anyway any wage increasw would be more than offset by the HIGHER TAXES these scum bring in. See unions you REALLY got to think these things thru, DUMBASSES!lol
More of the same liberal media AP spin.
Notice there was nothing there (or in the body of the article) about Iraq or the "Culture of Corruption"...
Now they will try to do to the country what they did to GM and Ford!
Veto, Veto, veto.
Union crap in budget bill, veto.
Union crap in appropriations bill....veto.
How I hate unions.
The UAW has screwed up the Big 3 Auotomakers bigtime. The Dem Congress needs to reel them in.
Is there a union worker anywhere that works for the minimum wage, and if so, are they required to pay dues?
What the heck does this mean? Against what? They spent $50 million more than who? They knocked on more doors than who? Another meaningless statistic.
Look at the bright side, agenda #22 is the members of the union who pay dues.
Kissing up to illegal alien labor on the one hand, unions on the other. Oh dear. Whats a DUmmie to do?
I'm a former member of a union affiliated with the AFL-CIO, I'm now retired, and I can attest that the union sent me a political-themed flyer encouraging me to "get out and vote" for the entire slate of Democratic candidates. They didn't endorse even one Republican in my area.
it's going to be such fun ... all the left wing entities think they "own" the dems, their conflicting agendas notwithstanding .. will be fun to watch the AFL-CIO/MoveOn/NARAL and others vying for primacy in this new Congress.
But the "leaders" know their majorities had less to do with any of those organization than with disenchanted conservatives who really are the majority in the country. Those non-voters will now learn disenchantment first hand.
Some stories on unions:
http://www.neoperspectives.com/unions.htm
"Organized labor spent an unprecedented amount of money for midterm elections on its get-out-the-vote-effort - $40 million by the AFL-CIO alone - with 187,000 union volunteers in the AFL-CIO program knocking on more than 3 million doors in the final four days."
That is illegal.
Look what Woodrow wilson did when he did not pursue Samuel gompers into prison for labor organization violation - but he had to suck up to the Brits, whose labor party was crying because they were being depleted by losses on the front. Genie is now out of the bottle - dial 1-(800) 555 - WHAH!
Democrat overreach in 3...2...1...
