Crazy Bernie demands Mandatory Unionism

[Polishprince]

The Democrat Frontrunner would outlaw right to work laws that preserve the right of US workers to be employed even if they aren't dues paying members of Big Labor.

Good news for the folks in the La Cosa Nostra who control the US union scene.

Sanders calls for ban on state right-to-work laws

I look back to the days when unions really had a presence in big industries and I can't help thinking that's when America was great. They brought protections and benefits for workers. They grew the middle class. It can be argued that they became arrogant and corrupt but it can't be argued that they didn't made America a better place when they first started.

That's Big Labor's take on their heyday, but not mine.

The Roaring 20's were indeed "roaring". The Middle Class expanded exponentially, the amount of homes getting electrified, the number of cars on the road, the sales of radios and other electric device, the nation's suburbs- the cradle of the Middle Class- began to grow rapidly. And the age was a decade where Union Power was at its nadir.

Unionism caught in the calamitous 1930's, and we can see the result. It took Hirohito bombing the shit out of to wake up America. Until Japan pulled a Pearl Harbor Job on us in Hawaii, sky high unemployment continued along with sky high unionism.

Would the USSC uphold Bernie's Federal ban, assuming it would even pass (very doubtful), or States' Rights?

No way is that legal. Public Sector unions should be outlawed.

Unions were necessary when they first came to be, nowadays there's OSHA and the labor board and all that. Unions are no longer needed.

Unions have killed the workers ability to be excellent. Under contract no more or no less can be done, which is why most of the products of a union suck...

Sanders is pandering to the Union Trugs for donations.
Forced union membership is unAmerican.
Unions should be like a service, not like a club or like a crazy cult.

Worse than that, unionism kills established industries from the ability to be excellent. If an innovating businessman or engineer devises new, more efficient way of doing things, he is wasting his time if there if Big Labor has its fingers in the stew.

Strict Union Work Rules eliminate any benefit to the employer of doing things more efficiently. Jobs must be protected in a unionized facility.

I believe both Hitler and Stalin said the same thing.

I'm not confident the gov't will protect workers once unions stop lobbying. It is the same gov't that takes industry lobby money.

 

[boedicca]

Bernie groks that the Dems depend on Public Employee Union dues and free labor for their political campaigns.

Yeah well, lobbying needs to be illegal as well. It's bribery.

Crazy Bernie is the Democrat Party FRONT RUNNER.

BTW, my prediction in that most of the 2 dozen candidates will follow his lead on this and also get behind the idea of Compulsory Unionism

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Typical lib/progressive yearning to get back to the 1930s. It just shows their ineptitude in logical thought. Its all they know.

Being the front runner in April a year before the election year is a loss of death.

Hillary is the only nominee in the last 30 years to be the front runner this far out.

Interesting take on history but not mine. Union membership was at its peak in the 1950's, not a bad time to be an American. Unions are far from perfect but you don't throw out the baby with the bath water.

Is there anyone who would dispute that unions helped workers and the country in general end low pay, predatory lending, child labor, long hours, dangerous work conditions, anti-labor violence, etc. in the 1800's? Why would anyone believe that we won't go back to those days once union protections are gone?

/---/ Progs sincerely believe the average American is too stupid to manage their own lives. They need to be cared for by the Nanny State.

"Union protection" is already gone for 93% of the American workforce who are proudly Scab. The 1950's were when unionism started to decline- and Big Labor declined through the 1960's and 1970's as well.

The idea that the 1950's were somehow the high point of American prosperity is bullshit, really. Prices of food and other items were high, most families could only afford a single automobile. It wasn't destitution on the level of the Rooseveltian 1930's, but it would take a lot of deunionization to bring America to its future greatness.

That's basically it. Liberalism is based upon the idea that Big Labor and Big Government are more capable of handling the average person's money than the individual who actually earned it.

Funny how weak wages have been.

Socialism is a folly. Not only is it doomed to fail wherever it rears its head, it leaves a wake of destruction in lives and freedoms lost. So much time has passed from the fall of the Iron Curtain that many have internalized — or never experienced— socialism’s ultimate price. If we fail to recall those dangerous times, the primitive appeal of socialism will advance and infect our institutions

from the daily wire:

"Socialism’s swift rise as the preferred alternative to capitalism among American’s youth is alarming. Recent polling shows 53% of American millennials favoring a socialist society to a capitalist one, compared to only a quarter of Americans over age 55. This is generally attributed to the [oldest] generation’s direct experience with this failed experiment."

He doesn't understand there is a labor shortage and employers are hiring anyone who does not cause net losses

Could it be progs think everyone is as stupid, corrupt and ignorant as themselves?
