Personally I don't buy your spin. I don't think you had anything to with a union and even if you did your limited experience for a "few years" once upon a time doesn't add up to shite. Furthermore, if a union was going to engage in illegal activity such as you are describing why would they be so stupid as to try and recruit a union hating noob whom they have no reason to trust?? That is another detail of your "personal experience" that does not make sense.
Furthermore, if you want to share specifics about your so called "personal experience" then go ahead but don't ask me for my personal info when all you have done is make vague generalities based on nothing real and call them "facts."
It's really hard to take someone serious who hasn't never heard the term Salting, then try and make the claim they had belonged to a union. Can you even tell me what COPE is for that matter or how it works, or are you going to dodge that one too? You haven't shown me any "FACTS" of your knowledge of the union, only some "political issues" while somehow making it out like you have some personal union experience. I'd also have you know I once fully supported the union, thought maybe they cared for one of their own. That was until after receiving a long term layoff. Then you find out who your union brothers REALLY are. They were more concerned for union dues and politics than offering assistance and support to those struggling to maintain their financial obligations. You can support the union if you like, but when all is said and done I found all they really care about is their precious membership dues. To still have to maintain your full union membership, dispite a long struggling lack of employment is inexcuseable. That's the cold heartless fact, ask a union construction worker sometime if you have enough guts to seek the truth over reciting some bumper sticker slogan. Defend that if you want, but I wont.
I just love how this so-called "personal experience" is progressing and how you are trying to correct some of the flaws and fill in the holes in your story after they have been pointed out to you but it a little late for corrections.
Your claim of "knowledge" is something anyone could get with a simple google search. Ad in your attemtps to write yourself into the storyline in a desperate attempt to give credence to your arguments and all you have are your baseless opinions with no substance to support them.
Your story appears to be nothing more than the atypical right wing talking point against the unions and there is nothing that you have said or offered that has made it appear to be anything more. In fact your previous arguments against unions tend to show that you are exactly the opposite of what you claimed to be.
However if the what you say is true and the ONE union that you were a member of for such a short time was being ran that way then I feel sorry for you but don't you think it's kind of hard to paint all unions with such a small brush??
P.S. again, your opinions do not equal facts.
