‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers[W:702:1041]

Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers

I prefer that to the artificial environment caused by government.

Government is allowing the cards to be stacked that way with interference. It's called trade agreements.

Why a Union?
 
Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers

....because the agent is negotiating for you.

not exactly if he was neogiating for me then he would get me the best deal possible.
he doesn't he neogiates for everyone so even the guy that takes 2 hour lunches and doesn't do anything the rest
of the time gets the same wage as i do for busting my butt.

what is even better is if the guy that sits on his ass and does nothing or as little as possible is there longer than me then i get fired before him if there is a layoff.

so no the agent isn't negotiating for me.
 
Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers

explain how you feel they are hurting union efficiency...

If unions have a harder time collecting money for the services they offer, they'll have fewer resources to work with.

Then don't work there if you think you can individually negotiate better pay than a union.

I don't want your agent to negotiating for me. I can do a better job on my own behalf.

You can't negotiate for yourself in a union shop. You take their benefits. If you don't like them go else where.

union revenue is increasing , not decreasing.

every worker under a contract pays for his representation... full members just pay more ( they cover all the rest of the union spending, like on political contributions, overhead, union official salaries, etc).. non-members only pay agency fees.

RTW laws have not hurt unions in terms of representing workers ( which again, is less than 30% of their total spending)

...union propaganda doesn't fly very far, my friend ;)

wow... unions supporters really hate workers freedoms

they hate it so much, they would rather have people unemployed rather than having the freedom to negotiate for themselves.

nothing says " i support workers" like wanting them unemployed or forced into an association they don't want to be in.

Agency fees are not paid in 24 right to work states so yes that hurts unions.

Unions vs. Rich Businessmen: Who Funds the Democrats? | Mother Jones

All the while, labor union PAC contributions hovered between $59 million and $73 million, typically with 90 percent or more of those dollars supporting Democrats each election cycle, according to the Center's research.

Unions fuel Democratic Party financially | The Daily Caller

Nobody's disputing that the Dems get a lot of money from unions; rather it's your implication that the only reason "leftists" desire strong unions is because they help fund the Democratic Party that's rather hackish.
 
Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers

Then don't work there if you think you can individually negotiate better pay than a union.

how about this... you don't work there if you are too weak to negotiation on your own behalf.

that sound good to you?

That is a red herring since all workers in union shops follow a union contract unless you are management.

remind me where I said THE ONLY?

That's because you dislike unions.
 
Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers

Not really if people are willing to be exploited.


I have had probably over a 1000 people work for me over my career

Not one worked for me unless it was a contract we both had agreed upon on

You can call that exploitation.....I call it work

They give me labor.....I give them a check

Win/win as it is supposed to be
 
Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers

That's why I said "implication."

you'd be wrong then
 
Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers

Depends on the circumstances.

but I think the worker is in a better position to determine that then liberals
