Unionism itself is fascism. Hitler's pro-labor political movement was named the National Socialist German Workers Party. Socialism for workers and terrorism for all. That's what labor unions are all about. Unions are simply evil incarnate. That's ALL of them...not just the SEIU and other public sector unions.
In the wake of unionism lies only ruin. Look at the auto industry in Detroit, killed by the UAW. Pittsburgh's rusting steel mills are a direct result of the leftist USW(A). The failure of the education system is attributable to teachers' unions such as the NEA, under the thumb of the vile leftist Dennis Van Roekel.
Unions destroy everything they touch and must be abolished. Union tyranny opposes freedom and liberty.
Really similar to the NRA (National Recovery Act) Blue Eagle during the fascist “progressive” era in the USA.
They all had two things in common, Local 25 represented the workers, and every single one of the trucking companies was out of business.
>>The history of labor unions in the United States is filled with corrupt bosses with Communist influences from the days of the Wobblies (IWW) to the present. <<
I’ve shared this before; but it bears repeating. In 1948-49, my dad ran for President of his local of the restaurant union in NYC. He lost by 10 votes; but when all the votes, the total exceeded membership by 15 votes. A complaint to NLRB escalated into an FBI investigation and visits to our abode. My dad’s cooperation and work for the FBI netted 10 officials who were Communists and their trial ended in deportation.
My dad’s “reward” was a three-year blackball from EVERY restaurant in NYC. We continued to receive visits from the FBI into the mid-50’s, even after we moved to FL. Dad died last month; he would have been 93 come March 14. He died an unsung hero, except for his sons.
