Actually the thing wrong with unions is that they are the ATM for the democratic party.
Shintao: That is probably the most honest answer I will get on this thread. Now, ask yourself why that is true? Because the corporate leadership is the ATM of the Republican party. Now, ask yourself why that is true, and draw a conclusion to your two answers.
Let me ask you this...Why would the democrats be the ATM for the democratic party? The democrats are the ones who want the open borders allowing just anyone to enter this country. And also keeping jobs here in America as opposed to outsourcing (NAFTA). The unions were suppose to be about the American working man and the American dream.
I don't see open borders on the list, although the Dems maybe. Obama surely is. My argument isn't for open borders. My argument is a Constitutional issue of a state usurping federal laws. If a state is allowed to get away with it, they can declare war on their neighbors for frivolous reasons. I don't justify the feds actions which maybe political, as well as Bush signing a treaty agreement to open borders with Mexico & Canada.
I think unions are still about families & the American dream, and contain republicans as well. Just look at the family benefit plans & living wages for members. That tells me they care & work their butts off to maintain them. Members always help injured workers, we have annual picnics, monthly discussions of work and places to boom out for work. We fly the American flag on projects, and support a lot of union friendly businesses in our communities.
I think when we have union busting it occurs at the higher echelon level, like the president and corporate heads. Like Reagan & air controllers & Bush Jr. giving Teamster jobs to Mexicans. The labor union in NY bucked against Hilton giving their jobs to foreigners. Republicans were not involved as far as I can remember. Then GM comes along.
