Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers
Except the difference between publicly shaming freeloaders and killing people for their religious beliefs is just a little different.
Not much....Demonization campaigns often start with language, and lies about those one ideology propagates against another...We've seen this before.
People want a free lunch. It costs money and effort to make that free lunch. They're cheating themselves and the rest of us by undermining the lunchmakers.
I've never said that Unions don't have a place in society, at least when they work responsibly. I grew up in a Union city, Lansing Michigan. However, if you think that I should HAVE to join a Union to have a job, that is a problem. Your right to assemble, is also my right to not.
They hurt the businesses ability to generate record revenues so that people like you and I can earn better wages.
You don't get to determine what profit a company makes. This is the point where your jealousy of not being rich comes out...I'm not interested in that sorry.

Ironically, when people are scared to unionize, it's probably the most important time to unionize because that's when we the workers are usually getting abused the most.
I don't put much stock in a website that you can't even tell who runs it, or who funds it...It's propaganda.
Unions advocating for balanced import laws will increase the likelihood of domestic manufacturing. As it stands we're going to be undercut by every foreign country that ignores environmental and worker laws. It will take trade barriers to shift manufacturing back here.
Yeah, trade barriers like the high taxation rate that progressives like you want to levy on business.
I agree that the Citizens United decision was a horrible one and should be reversed.
You included this answer to my #2 in my quote of #3...I hope that wasn't intentional. In any case CU was proper, and progressives like you don't like it largely because it takes away the one sided ability to support political agendas that Unions were setting up...Now, it levels the playing field and you all hate it.
If businesses were offering better situations, we wouldn't need unions. Unions are a response to abuse by business.
Apparently that is exactly what is happening, with union support being at all time lows in this country, they are getting desperate.
The middle class jobs are decreasing, and instead the pay goes to the top tier earners instead of the majority of us. This is a trend that unions can combat.
Destroying the company is not how you increase jobs. Again, I know you have great disdain for those who run companies, but not everyone is equipped to be a CEO.
Now, would I like to see parity in salaries where some CEO's don't make 400% or more of their workers wage? Eh, I really don't care as long as I make a good wage, and have a secure job...Why are progressives so concerned with what the other guy makes, instead of focusing on the job you do, so that you can earn more?
The workforce has more qualified workers than ever, yet the pay rates for most are decreasing even after they've saddled themselves with student loan debt.
Yep, and you can thank progressive policies for that...High taxes, demonizing, promoting welfare over work while pushing business to cheaper labor centers in the world is the result...
Working together is a better beat and better rhyme than undercutting your fellow worker and ultimately having them return the favor by undercutting you.
When your definition of "working together" means something other than agree with me, or do it my way, then we have a basis for discussion. That isn't the case now, thanks to progressives that took power, and decided to say one thing, and act in another.
