My brother, a union man until death, used to work for the old Eastern Airlines- ‘member them? When they went on strike and shut the airline down, my brother was out of work for a year, lost his condo and had to work as a bartender until he could get back with another airline.
The entire time, he whined about how much the CEO was making and what a bastard he was, etc...
I asked him: did he know how much the head of the union made? How come the union wasn’t stepping in to help him keep his home? Why weren’t they trying to help him get another job? Did it bother him that, once they had shut the airline down, they walked off, smug and satisfied that they had shown another big company who was boss with their fat paychecks secure, thanks to their idiot members, and leaving so many people- including my brother- out of work?
Such questions made brother angry, and still DO. I just don’t get leftists and why they believe what they do. Are they just that stupid? (rhetorical)

Blacks should think about this:
Women should think about this:
College students should think about this.
Corporate leaders should think about this:
Single moms should think about this:
Censors should think about this:
Homosexuals should think about this:
Millennials should think about this:
Had those people been actually thinking, America would’t be so royally f’d up.
VW, Mercedes, BMW came to Right to work America.
GM came to right to work Tennessee but forced a Union. The Saturn’s the UAW built failed. The UAW killed them
GM Sees’s the writing on the wall........ another failure. So she is running to the Federal government for support of her electric vehicle
The UAW is a cancer on the Automobile industry
The factory was unionized. Engineering was not. When asked, the union reps didn't have an answer how our department was riding on the coattails of the union, as the salaries were not affected when new contracts were negotiated.
The results: Admin, Engineering, and Sales voted "no".
The particular outpost of the corp was in Illinois, specifically the Chicago area.
Unions have the strange idea that they
can get more eggs by strangling the
chicken.
Unions are dying. Only 7% of the US workforce is in a union. Unions are fighting yesterdays war.
