On March 31st, NUMMI, the UAW-represented joint venture between Toyota and General Motors, will be closing its doors in California, throwing another 4,700 United Auto Workers out of work.
With 80% of the UAW members upset with their union, this past Sunday, the Union of Ailing Workplaces (aka UAW) held a membership meeting that turned into a shouting match between rank-and-file members and their union leadership.
At one point, one UAW leader (identified as Javier Contreras) yelled at the crowd, telling them to Shut the f*ck up, you motherf*ckers!
Things got so bad, that UAW leaders had to call the police to restore order.

That's what firearms are for!

As of January 1, 2000, all employees of the California State University or University of California “as a condition of continued employment” had to either join the union or pay a ‘fair share’ fee to the union (which was if I recall correctly about 95% of the union dues). It is the law in the state of California. The practice continues to this day.
Gubermint unions don't. Their existence is a taxpayer conflict of interest.
Have laws changed? When I was an IUE member dues was collected from the entire workforce, whether the employee belonged to the union or not. I thought it was a negotiated agreement between the company and the union.
It is a hard sell telling members that all of the dues they have payed for all of those years is getting them a closure that is good for them!Most of the time it is the leadership who have got the most benefit from everything.
Why couldn’t they just follow the leaders they elected and be quiet?
Reminds me of that AARP meeting where the “sheep” revolted!
Except this audience looks a lot scarier!
