LOL,,,We ain’t bringin’ no blueberry muffins neither,Daisy.
Now,,,I’ll have to give it to the unions that pushed the
Mine safety laws,,,
Too many men died before they were passed,,,
China comes to mind...
Maybe so, but I don't see the tough guys who run the UMW rushing off to China to organize the miners there. I wonder why.
But that’s the sad thing about it.
Like so many good ideas, they start out with the best of intentions.
Unions had and have a legitimate place. They safeguard the rights of workers, and ensure safe working conditions. No one is against that, even here on Free Republic.
But somewhere along the way, the unions decided that they were just important as the financial risk-takers, when they themselves put no skin in the game.
Once they decided they were entitled to the rewards of the industry, with zero exposure to the risk...game over.
And I think that’s where we are.
Unions are very like the ACLU,
they came into existance because there was a problem,
but the problem is now solved, obviating their existance,
but they will not go quietly into that good night.
No, they have to keep drumming up more “problems” to solve, and increasing their power.
