“Perpetual unions are a bane on society in general”

Look around you, America has a middle class largely due to the “unions.”

I do agree that some (NOT ALL) are greedy as hell.

I agree that some (NOT ALL) are only out for themselves.

This problem goes deeper than your anti union stance. This is a systematic approach to destroy the unions thus destroying a very large percentage of the “middle Class” of this country.

Our “leaders” want a 2-class system.

I am looking around me and seeing the middle class in non-union jobs because I currently reside in a right to work State. What I see in general is an artificially inflated economy partially due to an wage imbalance fueled by organized labor. The 20th century bill is coming due, sorry but that is the nature of the beast you are defending.

Look at the history of labor unions since the colonial times, how they were admonished by people who actually built this Country up from actual risk/reward capital, and then spare me your mythical middle-class union hero worship. You are operating out of emotion not reason because historically and empirically you are flat out wrong.

America has a middle class largely due to the “unions.”...America has an organized crime class (which does a hell of a lot better than you and me) largely due to unions.

Here is the deal, the Dem hacks are putting up a good show for their union buddies but in the end when the bankruptcy goes thru they are going to get a haircut, no ifs ands or buts about it.

No. We have a middle class because we are a free people, free to engage in commerce with each other. To the extent the middle class is under threat it is because of government - and there is no greater tax amplifier than public sector unions.

Unions are under assault because they are contrary to freedom. That every state is not a “right to work” state is an unconstitutional assault on freedom.

Should someone freely decide to associate themselves without coercion with others and call it a “union”, I’ve got no comment.

Unions are nearly universally an assault on freedom and the constitution - and will be destroyed through the bankruptcy process - one city at a time.

Other than that, I’m “pro-union”.
