I wish Trump would call for a “Union Fairness” law- where unions are FORCED to stop negotiating ridiculous contracts.

When you force a factory to pay someone $80K per year plus benefits to sweep floors, that’s 4 people who could be off welfare doing a non-technical job for $20K each

When Unions force companies to keep workers employed in non-existant jobs, that ruins business. For example, railroads were force to pay ‘brakemen’ until they retired, even after modern railroad cars stopped needing an actual brakeman.

Or how about steel factories whose labor costs got so high the we do not make steel in the USA anymore...all because of unions.

UNIONS are the thugs now- not the evil corporate basses.

It’s called the Right-to-Work law.

So do you know the percentage of manufacturing workers in unions?
