The unions are getting desperate,they see their power slipping away.

[Olog-hai]

Union officials and college professors . . . a veritable smorgasbord of leftism.

[fhayek]

It’s a fact: Unions ultimately destroy every business/industry that they get their claws into.

I was a union member when George Bush was against the traitor John Kerry. They had no reason listed to vote for George Bush but only reasons for voting for Kerry. I felt betrayed by my Union and decided to resist.

[gatechie]

They”say” they are healthy. That means nothing.

Duane Wuerth of ALPA endorsed Kerry in 2004. When pilots paid dues in 2003-2004, part of that money went for gin soaked raisins, buying counter stories to the Swiftboats, and encouraging the likes of Dan Rather.
At the time I honestly believed ALPA was different than the others..

[Biggirl]

Have they not learned from what happened in WI last week?

[mdittmar]

I work with union members everyday,had some beers with some of them,they are always shocked when I tell them I get 7 weeks paid vacation a year,401k,full health benefits.

Life is good when your non-union.

[I am bigjohn]

Are these the same union employees who keep getting caught drinking alcohol and smoking dope during their lunch breaks?

[Psycho_Bunny]

“The research finds that more unionized U.S. workers consider themselves healthy than do their nonunion counterparts, “

More “research” that amounts to “making shit up as we go along”...

[Carriage Hill]

True. I don’t ever remember seeing a starving, unemployed, deprived union thug/goon.

[Tamar1973]

...more unionized U.S. workers consider themselves healthy than do their nonunion counterparts...

Delusional talk is certainly a strong union talking point.

Look at these svelte, healthy women, right? I want to take health advise from these women. /sarc

[Tzimisce]

Mom’s today say “abort, abort, abort”. :)

[BigBobber]

The study found that 85 percent of union workers reported being in good health, compared with 82 percent of nonunion workers. In real numbers, that 3 percent gap represents 3.7 million American workers.

“Three percent may not seem like a lot,” said Megan Reynolds, a Duke doctoral student and lead author of the study.

OMG! I thought Duke was supposed to be a premier university. A PhD from that institution is like a certificate from the jelly-of-the-month club!

[SampleMan]

It’s a fact: If you’re a union member you have better wages, benefits and working conditions—along with a voice at work.

But the Left says the the rich (1%) get paid better and can afford better healthcare, so are union members the 1%?

[mdittmar]

This is why I like FR,Smart people here.

[Boogieman]

I’ll join a union. The Taxpayers’ Union, Local #1. If the government doesn’t meet our demands, we’ll go on strike, and they can scrounge up their revenue somewhere else. How does that sound?

[Boogieman]

I get 401k, healthcare, and a few other benefits too. 7 weeks vacation though? I get 3, and that’s only after putting in 10 years on the job. Either you work in France, have like 50 years seniority, or your boss is a saint!

[mdittmar]

15 years,I unload Trucks.

[Gay State Conservative]

Most of the union punks *I* see are so damn fat that they can barely stand up.But that’s not a problem for them...it’s not as if they intend to expend any energy at work.
