Bump
Davis and the CEOs of Costco, Starbucks and Whole Foods, who consider themselves to be progressives
Progressives are COMMUNISTS!
Good reasons not to shop at Costco, Starbucks and Whole Foods
Dang it.
I like shopping at CostCo.
May have to reconsider.
The socialists need not worry. Senator Chris Dudd will support it after the 2101 elections. ;O)
the 2101 elections= 2010
Campaigning purposes::Translation--Muscle for Money, ACORN, your friendly neighborhood union 'representative', phone calls, harassment, kids harassment, 'family' visits, pickett lines (right outside your house), bus tours, wow. So many opportunities, so little time! Lawyers don't kill companies, Unions do!
Had a long conversation with an entreprenneur once, one who I deeply respected (since he came out of the corporate world in which I remained) . His comment when his company went under....”I’ll start another business someday...one where I don’t have to deal with: Customers, Unions, or Government”! only half tongue-in-cheek.
“equal access to all employees during non-working hours for ‘’campaigning purposes’’.
I don’t get the equal access during non working hrs thing. Seems to me that when I am not working I can access any thing I choose, be it meetings or campaign work or whatever, exactly why or how would an employer be expected to provide equal access during non working hrs?
I refuse to buy them...
anyone got anymore Liberal/Progressives we can defund?
They want to ban the employers from holding any meetings before work, after work or during lunch time. In other words, if you are not on the floor working, the employer cannot talk to you.
They tried this in WA State this year, but the union leaders messed up by sending out intimidating emails in a mass emailing and someone reported it as bribery. The governor immediately pulled the bill from consideration.
It’s kind of a sticky situation for the WA government because they are being sued by several branches of the SEIU for not funding their contracts at the same time that the SEIU is pushing for Democrats to support their card check legislation and threatening to pull funding from the same Democrats.
Exposing the incestuous relationship between the politicians and the labor unions is a good way to fight them.
Thanks, that clarifies that statement. I thought that was already pretty much the case, that people were paid if they were at work meetings not held during regular working hrs. If not my employer is very worker friendly.
Di Fi jumped ship on card check?
That’s friggin unbelievable...maybe there is some hope for the future...
It’s nice of them to ‘list themselves as progressives’ for us, isn’t it! Hey...let the progressives pay $4 for coffee, us rational folk can do just fine at 75 cents or so.
I’m in the same boat - love Costco, but have made an effort to not give lefties ANY of my money. I checked on my membership, and it auto-renewed 2 months ago. I told them to take me off the auto-renewal list.
I’ll go to Sam’s when it expires.
Yep, the lists for SEIU members, ACORN members, and ‘Muscle for Money’ members is easy to get! Once you have one list you have them all!
Speaking of the SEIU, they have been very active in WA State the last couple of years. This year, they placed an initiative on the ballot, requiring all day care workers and nursing home care givers receive two weeks training. My husband and I both realized that this was just an organizing trick to get the tax payer to fund their organizing. It passed, and now the SEIU is suing to have the initiative funded.
Anyway, yesterday a baby was left in a car all day, while the mother worked and was dead, by the time the mother finished work. The mother worked at an adult care center, but couldn’t take care of her own baby. Imagine what kind of workers they will get once the SEIU takes charge.
Wow, another feather in the Union’s headband (and I use that in the literal scalped whiteman apache sense)! Great tagline, by the way...our whole organization was once accused (by a consultant) of ‘tolerating mediocrity’! Imagine that after 50 or so years of Union rules!!!! True to form, a few years later and the Union finally ‘nailed the coffin shut’! (I’m betting I don’t need to translate that for this group)
