On Tuesday, a union filed a petition [5-RC-16629] with the National Labor Relations Board office in Baltimore, Maryland. The purpose of the petition was to have the NLRB conduct a secret-ballot election. The employer in this case happens to be the United Food & Commercial Workers, Local 400, based in Landover, Maryland. The petitioning union is the Federation of Agents and International Representatives. [Yes, sometimes union representatives actually have unions represent them against their exploitive employers—the unions.]
So, you might be asking, what’s the point?
Well, apparently the employer (the United Food & Commercial Workers) has not agreed to card check, despite being a huge supporter of card check.
Another example of another hypocritical union? It sure appears so.

I think not.
Its like a tick sucking on another tick who is sucking on yet another tick who is draining the blood from the dog.
PowerToThePeople (Diary) Wednesday, February 2nd at 9:02PM EDT (link)This whole scenario shows the absolute absurdity of the whole union mess and the people who support it.
Once again, thanks Labor for another great piece, a good laugh, and the abundant education you have given me since I started reading your pieces.

a bit of a tangent....
jackhammer Thursday, February 3rd at 4:17AM EDT (link)but I was in India the other week, discussing with a business partner in Delhi, the difference between corruption in China and India.
Basically in China, they get the bridge finished, and in India there are a lot of half finished bridges that ran out of money. And the difference is an order of magnitude.
In China, corrupotion usually is under the 10% level, and is the sort of corruption that smooths the levers, making sure the approval goes through in a week, not 6 months and the like….and there are quite a few people with a little bit of the action…but the expectation is sort of that this can remain a continuing income stream, and it only stays that way if after the first deal, a second, third and fourth follow. Taht reequires that the bridge get finished on time and on budget,a nd usually if that happens, and it doesn’t fall down, there is no investigation, and for all intents and purposes everyoen got away with it.
Well, in India, they get greedy quick, and can’t give a thought to whether a 2nd or 3rd deal might follow, so they milk the one they have dry…and the order of corruption is more in the 35% level…..well at 35% corruption, it usually leads to significantly less steel being bought, less workers on the site, and by and large to the bridge not getting built…
I am only bringing it up, because to me, the Union movement is liek Indian Corruption, out to milk the cow dry, and then wondering why nothing it touches flourishes…..
