but the working men and women we represent aren’t seeing the same America

Thanks Dick;)

>>We are united around an agenda to secure our economic future—

—by putting our employers out of business!

[Morpheus2009]

Does this guy think everyone can be their own boss? Silly man.

[Steely Tom]

Don’t believe what you see, it’s a lie. Your eyes, your common sense is deceiving you.

Listen to what I say instead.

[Dave911]

This bozo has no clue what the effects of anything are on the “workers” he purports to represent, nor does he care. His only motivation is to keep those dues rolling in to support the lifestyles of himself and his cronies.

[Sedona13]

This Stalin wannabe is such a moron.

[mass55th]

He’s just another Union dick getting fat from traveling, and partying on the members’ union dues. I had to belong to a Union. They took the money from my paycheck whether I was a member or not. But the Union never did a damn thing for me. Anything I achieved, I did on my own...without the help of the Union. They can all go to Hell.

[miss marmelstein]

Yeah, thanks to lousy unions which cratered America’s creativity and workforce.

[heights]

But letting in Million of Cheap Labor Slaves to lower wages is? This is why Unions are dying...

[rktman]

$1,000? Meh! Bread crumbs. Right “dick”?

[Nifster]

Precisely

Trumke and his thug union bosses went out of style with one party mechanical voting machines

[SpaceBar]

There are numerous parallels between labor unions and socialism. The emphasis on the collective over the individual for starters. Concentration of power in the handlers is another.

[hardspunned]

Ask the coal miners of the UMW ,who comrade Trumka used to lead, who looked out for their interests better, Trump or Trumpka?

[ebshumidors]

Get rid of that union tax and you’d be better off. More money in your pocket.

These guys don't speak for, let alone represent, anyone but themselves. I'm in a local union and it's a joke. They take their dues every week and throw us under the bus most of the time. Most of us voted for Trump.

[CIB-173RDABN]

What is good for Unions is not the same as what is good for America.

Any organization that uses violence and laws to force people to join and pay into is an enemy of the people.

I am happy to see Union membership declining.

[Deplorable American1776]

When I was in Connecticut, I was employed in a union shop and I hated paying money to the local president of the Union. The local president lived in a mansion on 35 acres. One day, I asked him why if he was a socialist he had a house on 35 acres. He told me that he earned it, I told him he stole the money from the victims of union shops. A few weeks later, my transfer to a store in Florida got approved. 😀

[bgill]

As if union workers aren’t some of the highest paid workers in the US.

[Regulator]

Trumka?

The guy leading the charge to legalize millions of illegals to take the jobs of his dues payers?

Who aids and abets the continuing immigration of millions to do the same legally?

That Dick, Trumka?

Yeah. That guy. Real champion of the working class.

[Pearls Before Swine]

No, he thinks he can be everyone’s boss.
