Union equates lavish benefits to black civil rights

"Madison is just the beginning!" AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka told a union rally in Annapolis on Monday. "Like that old song goes, 'You ain't seen n-n-n-n-nothing yet!' " Fresh from defeat in Wisconsin, union leaders are planning a new campaign not just to head off future challenges to their collective bargaining powers but also to make the case that organized labor's benefits and prerogatives -- wages, health care, and pensions that are more generous than those of comparable workers in the private sector -- are the moral equivalent of rights won by black Americans

True enough. Madison is indeed, just the beginning.

They are skipping the civil rights and equality, and going straight for the reparations.

How about we put them on Social Security with...

The "If it is Good Enough for Them; it is Good Enough
for You (and You Didn't Even Pay In) Act of 2013.

Trumka is a bloated Bolshevik.

Let these idiots keep speaking.

More and more people will see that all unions need to be abolished. When people truly believe privileges and benefits are inalienable rights, you can’t allow that idiotic wrongness to ever spread again.
