Looks like all is not rosy between labor bosses and their members.

Beck and others been saying it for awhile now, it’s not the majority of union workers that are giving, and have been, unions a bad rap, it’s the union heads. Them union members wised up and stopped paying dues, you really see the crap hit the fan, much like in this linked video.

Boeing went to the IAM and said “If you agree not to strike in the next ten years, we will build the 787 here instead of SC”

The IAM told Boeing to F off.

Now there are thousands of jobs moving to SC (NON-Union, in case anybody asks), the local IAM people basically had a GUARANTEED ten year gig if they accepted the offer and agreed not to strike, so if they are left sitting there with their thumbs up their butts I have NO SYMPATHY AT ALL!

The union mob leaders are seeing their piece of heaven slip away whil telling the peasants to go into a hole and be quiet. Gee, I feel so bad they have no jobs—NOT.

Wow...

Sold their liberty and productive individuality to the collective. The collective short changes them. They still have a sliver of liberty their souls and they are pissed. This will be repeated as the unsustainability of their benefits kick in for a host of Unions. It will happen on an even grander scale when the bill comes do for all the Entitlements. And they said the Tea Party people were unruly mobs.

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.

While it sucks for anyone to lose his/her job, I can't weep when it is a union job, because each lost union job represents a few less dollars being used to fight conservative causes.

Nice bunch of people all around.

That is what happens when you sell your soul to be part of a collective. You lose your right to speak and act for yourself.

Your union can run an industry into the ground, then when things go sour, the union bosses all pack up, shrug their shoulders and say “Hey, we tried to get you at 25% pay raise across the board, but they decided to close the factory instead. So sorry. Have a good life...” as they jump on a plane to go assist some union somewhere else.

I remember during the Reagan era when he was fighting inflation you would hear these kind of numbers of unemployment. I think it was Sams Club that laid off 10,000
I just see a possible pattern not back with hard numbers. The unions have been saving their jobs for decades. Obama thinks he can control this. You know how it goes you have me.

“I posted it because the vitriol was just shocking.”

Shocking, my beutress (as they say in UN talk). But it is informative to anyone buying a car. Somehow I don’t think people have those attitudes at Japanese plants, or non-union US plants.

But the unions are like an evil, destructive force - and will always be that way.

I know a bunch of FORMER UAW members in the Mansfield, OH area who would love to have an up close and personal conversation with Javier Contreras.

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!
