Unions are all about power and greed

For decades, union negotiators have steered dollars toward such things as political campaigns and generous pay and benefit packages, rather than responsibly funding retiree pension obligations. Now, with pension obligations climbing and fund assets dwindling, union executives realize that they can’t satisfy the years of promises that they irresponsibly made. Their solution? Dump union benefit obligations onto taxpayers. That way, union leaders could continue to fig ...

What is your opinion of unions today? Are they still necessary to protect the rights of the worker or have they become too politicized? If you think they are still necessary, why? If you think they are too politicized, how can we change that? ...

I hate unions because they just take the money (which should be used for paying strike benefits) and pay for political campaigns. Sure the thugs are gone but they still are corrupt. They care nothing about the people they take the money from each paycheck. ...

Did a little digging and came up with some little tidbits: Watch the following video…….then read the article. http://blog.heritage.org/2011/02/20/video-myths-vs-facts-of-the-wisconsin-union-protest/ Some other excerpts from newspapers and older reports on union presidents (didn’t have time to look for others). 1.

Well now. Seems like the Unions screwed themselves when fighting so hard for Obamacare. Now they have to get in line with the rest of businesses and people. No favoritism for them. Too bad this happened AFTER the 2012 election. Obama administration denies labor’s request for health care waiver By Ezra Klein, Published: September 13 at 6:05 pm Organized labor was one of the Obama administration's most important allies during the passage of the Affordable Care A ...

What jerks!!!!!!!!! Don't they believe in checking their sources first or are they just that ignorant and don't give a hoot who they hurt? Scott Walker’s parents’ home swarmed by pro-union protesters More than 100 pro-union demonstrators swarmed the Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, home of Gov. Scott Walker’s elderly parents Monday evening to protest the Republican’s proposed state budget. The protesters circled the home on 68th Street and called out, “Hey he ...

are protesting that republicans are forcing something on them that they don't want. Funny they didn't understand that very argument when many were protesting against Obamacare and upset that the democrats were forcing something on them they didn't want either. Sucks doesn't it.... ...

Republican candidates are unionizing against the RNC. Is the media next? Republican party imploding all over the place. The other day I was shocked when Paul Ryan admitted the House was broken. I guess the first step is to hit bottom and confront denial. ...

http://www.observer.com/2011/11/class-war-occupy-wall-street-unions-protest-at-sothebys/ This is accomplishing nothing but a BAD message of hate and "gimme gimme". How shameful the USA has become. Obama has contributed to this, unfortunately, with his constant bashing of the rich. He should speak up at this point before someone gets killed !!! ...

wage doesn't cost jobs might want to have a chat with unions in Los Angeles. After pushing for a big hike in that city's minimum wage — which will climb to $15 an hour by 2020 — labor leaders now want an exemption for companies that have unionized workers. Why? Because, according to Rusty Hicks, head of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, "with a collective bargaining agreement, a business owner and the employees negotiate an agreement that works for them both. The ag ...

a 9% rate hike. The unions give aid to the Democrats. This is why we buy Japan cars. They are still make here. My Camry was made in Kentucky and had a higher U.S. content than a Chrysler. We started buying Toyota and Nissan products. They in no form or fashion make crappy cars. Both Toyota's we owned had almost 300,000 miles on them with just general maintenance and a few timing belts. Then, my husband bought a new one. ...

I always want a place with a wood burning stove, something for heat other then power, comes in very handy and is the main source of heat at this time.At this time I have enough gadgets and power for them to most likely last a week, and there are ways to cook, lighting, food, water stays on etc... so it is mostly an entertainment issue when the power goes out and with all these gadgets these days it is easier to stay entertained. Of course if the power goes out during the day I can still work on ...

A few facts for you. There are 3 large unions in the U.S.: the AFL-CIO, SEIU, and National Education Association. Do you know what the AFL-CIO initials stand for? The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) is a voluntary federation of 56 national and international labor unions. They represent 12.2 million members, including 3.2 million members in Working America, its community affiliate. Affiliates of the AFL-CIO are: Airline ...

As few as 41 senators, which could represent as little as 12.3% of the U.S. population, can make a filibuster happen. The Republicans have been using the filibuster continually, even filibustering bills they previously were FOR, just because they believe it makes Dems look bad. The Republicans currently have 41 senators and block everything. The Democrats have 57 senators, so by the rules they cannot override the Republican obstructionism. ...

Finally, it took many prayers and patience, but I have found a new job with what seems to be a wonderful company. I had posted before about difficult financial situations for myself and so many others, but I finally feel relieved now that I have this new job with much better pay and good benefits. I know that the prayers here and from so many others have made this happen. I will keep praying for all the others that continue struggling like I was. I know how overwhelming t ...

A few days ago my driver's side window does not work. My friend told me that she had the same problem some years back and had to take it to the dealer and it cost $300.00 to have it fixed. My stepfather says it may be $400.00. My inspection is due by August 31st. Can someone please tell me if it is required to have it fixed for inspection? I am just sick about this. The last two years I paid $700.00 and then $500.00 for inspection; first one ...

I've had to have a lot of dental procedures lately, including a new partial, extractions, and now a filling in a tooth that may require a root canal. I am in so much pain and the medication makes me throw up. It's been such an emotionally exhausting process. I've spent hundreds of dollars so far and still have possibly another $1000+ to go, and as you guys know, in this line of work, it is killing me financially. I just ask that if you're reading this right ...

Well, even though my home looks like a Currier & Ives Christmas card, we just now today got our power back totally. (Off since Friday) Our van we dug out yesterday. Luckily we have a wood burning heater, but have to go and buy some more wood now. Been "camping" in my own house with Coleman lanterns and cook stoves. Live on the side of a moutain with the view of beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains (Mt. Mitchell) out my picture window.&nbs ...

I wanted to let you know that my sister-in-law called me on Saturday and told me that she and my brother talked it over, and they are paying for the evaluation to determine the exact problem with the car window, and they are taking it from there. They will cover any expense of the repair bill. It's been really tough financially, as so many of you know. So many of us are struggling. I am feeling thankful to my friends and family this morning and just wanted to s ...

She's so busy, she'll be an RNC no-show, not willing to take a chance on being upstaged by Christie, Trump, Ryan and other party media magnets. I think she made a wide choice when realizing she still has what it takes to draw in smaller-venue local crowds that are not typically of interest to lamestream media or cable reporters outside Fox and Friends circles. How relieved she must be to have finally found her niche. ...

There has been this crazy movement in the States that have their legislatures and executive branch all in the Republican party. They have pushed through anti-bargaining legislation, they are trying to take away the people's right to vote through various shennanigans, they are trying to deregulate the polluting industries, and now they are even trying to force women into getting transvaginal ultrasounds. I didn't go and vote the last election, but I certainly will ...
