i am anti-union because of their appalling treatment of my non-union husband. They don’t care about workers or jobs or the company. They care about their own power. They are highly manipulative and they have cohorts in government that help them do it. They punish people who do not join and again, they have cohorts in government that help them do it. They are anti-freedom.
I wasn’t talking about anyone’s husband or wife, but thanks for that personal note.
Yeah, their votes matter, but do they come with strings? I do not trust unions. My experience is that they are evil power grabbers who punish anyone who they see as in their way.
theres something unseemly about this union announcement
perhaps after DT...goes rogue..it will become all too clear
This here should be enough to make most who area awake, recoil.

I noted few on this thread never said so much as a word about the biggest unions of them all.
There are more unionized government employees than exist in the entire private sector America.
And you’re all paying the salaries of these millions of unionized government employees.
In fact, these millions of unionized employees and their gold plated pensions are now choking off the budgets of entire cities and states.
Not a peep here about any of that. Btw, Trump never asked for any union support.
Mikey, you’re full O s**t. Thanks for trying!
My husband would get a call from a TV station asking him to work a football game. No BEGGING him to work a football game. So he would. Because unions control that and because the game took place in a non right to work state, they would hound him to death about it. They wanted money from him, He only worked these jobs once or twice a year at most. He didn’t want to join. They would take money from the employer and place it in a 401k account. Chump change. Then they would take the money right back out in administration fees. It was always a zero balance in very short order. All it was to us was junk mail. BUT the IRS tried to say they we could not contribute to our own IRA because we had a 401k. We did not have a 401k. We had a nuisance junk mail problem claiming we had a 401k from a union we did not belong to. We could not get information from the union because we were not members. It was a nightmare. We had to go to tax court.
I hate unions.
Good point.
just the facts mam.
You want all the support you can get. Hey, if they want to give it no strings, fine.
We shouldn’t allow strings.
I guess so. I still don’t trust them. Better to have the individual workers support you and the corrupt union bosses just keep their power grabbing mouths shut.
Unions and conservatism is not a good mixture in 2015. I'll pass.
Then you should really focus on the unionized employees who we're paying 100% of their salaries.
And that would be the largest pool of unionized workers in America, "Unionized government employees".
It is all corrupt. They addressed a problem when they first formed but have long since become as big or bigger a problem as they were confronting. I don’t like their political activities anyway. It is unfair to the members who disagree.
This is actually huge.
That should make your eyes explode.
Because one is worse doesn’t mean the other isn’t bad.
Do you think we have any chance of dumping the gov’t affiliated unions?
Yes, of course. No one serving in government should be unionized. Period.
Indeed they did. And if Trump can get that feather in the cap, it's game over.
