Ann Coulter: LOOK FOR THE UNION FABLE (Daze Of Our Lives)

Good article from our Annie.

My husband was a 20+ year firefighter in one of the wealthiest counties in Florida. They, of course, had a firefighter’s union. But rather than use the dues (forced even in a so-called Right to Work state) to actually be there for the guys during contract hearings, this union did little more than what is “affectionately” called Collective Begging. They also were no help at the bargaining table because even if a new contract was agreed upon, they had what was “affectionately” called Non-Binding Arbitration. So in other words, the firefighter’s could never strike, they had no power to better work contracts and even when contracts were signed by the city, they could legally change their minds and the union could do nothing about it. Talk about a waste of money!

How did this possibly happen where you have gov’t workers, working for us, become unionized?

If I’m a mail carrier, my allegiance is to my union, not my job. I pay union dues....that go to union boss who keep the gov’t from firing me.

We have the most lop sided country on earth.

I’m waiting for GM or Chrysler to go on strike, in essence union workers striking against themselves.

Those are indeed bad things, but I think the more fundamental point is that unions are effectively allowed to enslave non-union workers (indeed, that might be a good term to use). Unions get to demand that non-union workers may them, but the non-union workers have no say in how much they'll pay or how the money will be spent. In what way could such power possibly be coined a "right"!?
