I have never seen anyone argue the challenge that labor unions give to business operating here in the states. I would argue that people who are actually willing to do the job (even if it is overseas), are more ENTITLED to the opportunity to work, than those that are busy looking for ways to intimidate their managers.

Francis Piven has also argued about the importance of globalism and unions to force change. Basically as supply chains get stretched out it is easier to disrupt company operations with strikes and stoppages.

I remember watching an MSNBC special where they are continuing to harrass Nike after the company has made a lot of efforts to improve conditions in the countries they operate. They have unions in these developing countries. The workers complain that they don’t get enough salary to live on, but then they go out and strike. Their salaries had actually increased at a higher rate than in the general population in the area around them.

Does anyone think this will get more coverage?

Its no surprise communists are coming out of the closet considering how weird Obama is. Liberals were angry during the Hillary Care debate but today the liberal animal is different but an animal with no conscious nor patriotism.

I don’t care who wins the gop nomination 2012 is too important to give Obama 4 more years. The end of Obama will result in many of these scumbags going into hiding. Regardless a GOP investigation is needed. I think New Yorks Peter King should investigate unions.

This is why our children come out of college without the ability to embrace our working society. Their minds are corrupted. Our higher education system has failed to prepare these citizens to join our Capitalistic society. I am sure the Communists are grateful for our education systems to prepare our children to become their willing sublicants. Luckily these children, once they get out onto the real world, eschew these ideas that they are some sort of downdroddened proletariats. Especially when they realize they can’t be part of our American Capitalistic society when they are without the opportunity to earn. It is rare to see a peasant driving a BMW, living in a nice home.

…when you think about the desperate attempt to enact “disclosure” laws that would essentially give these people the Enemies List they need in order to know who to target. It’s bad enough that thy can find the name, address, employer, and occupation of anybody who gives money to the “wrong” politicians, imagine once they find out who’s giving to Cato, Heritage, National Right to Work, National Right to Life (going to guess they’d be smart enough not to go after Gun Owners of America members and donors…), and other groups that are opposing their agenda.

…do not walk the walk they talk.

If they are so sure communism is the superior social structure, why don’t they set up their own little utopia, bring all their like minded followers along for the ride, and show the rest of us how far better they do?

Nations most serious problem; Public education is the most problem we have because it affects/effects everything else. And, it has been for about 30-40 years. And, please stop the nonsense that union thugs, authoritarian socialist, collectivist, unionist etc., are liberals or have anything to do with liberalism. Read John Loke or Thomas Jefferson.

In “pursuit of happiness” through shorter hours and higher pay, printers were the first to go on strike, in New York in 1794; cabinet makers struck in 1796; carpenters in Philadelphia in 1797; cordwainers in 1799.

From the 17th CENTURY STRIKES to the 21st CENTURY STRIKES:
The first strike in 1619 by the Polish craftsmen strike
Jamestown, Virginia colony.

To the latest in 2010 The Cast of Jersey Shore strike there have been hundreds of strikes throughout America.

In the beginning unions were drastically needed to deal with the concerns of workers, including children, who were being treated unfairly by business owners. Today the unions are treating business and business owners as though they are responsible for businesses leaving America for off shore and 14 million or more Americans without a job!

‘Big Business’, this is the unions and progressive socialists catch word for the entities that hire them to work and guess what boys and girls? They are paid a good days pay for a good days work! The greedy UNION BOSSES want more power and money and they get this money from their union members’ dues.

This money is used to bribe and solicit favors from the progressive socialist party who, they vote into office each election who, do their bidding and this gives them power! Do union members pay dues when they are on strike?

UNION BOSSES keep their luxury perks of limousines, airplanes, yachts, summer homes, winter homes, beach condominiums, et cetara while the union members have lost their home, vehicles, their wife and children and about anything else they had ever owned! Plus their INCOME! Does this madness justify UNION BOSSES and union members being abused as “useful idiots?”

Mr. Lafe Solomon, general counsel for the NLRB, appointed by Obama and is yet to be approved by Congress said, “My goal is to enforce the National Labor Relations Act.” “That law, enacted in 1935, governs private sector workers’ right to unionize as well as relations between tens of thousands of companies and employees.”

“In the Boeing case, Mr. Solomon charged that the company had illegally moved some production work of the 787 Dreamliner passenger plane to South Carolina [work free state] to punish workers for past strikes and to avoid future ones.”

Mr. Solomon, your goal is illegal at the moment and UN-Constitutional! You, Obama or anyone else in the world has the authority to manage or order someone to manage neither THEIR OWN private business nor their private or public businesses, especially in South Carolina, Alabama and any other ‘work free state’! Remember the 10th Amendment?

The NLRB may have a say in the unions grievances against employers who are forced to hire union workers but, you, you greedy, ignorant people have NEVER read the Giant and the ‘Golden Egg’ story about the giant smacking the goose that laid the ‘Golden Eggs’ to lay more eggs, oops!

He killed the goose and this is precisely what UNION BOSSES and professional, political, parasites have done to our economy with outrageous demands for undeserved benefits and strikes that have killed or forced American businesses out of business or off shore!

Alabama is a “work free state” and NorthRupp-Grumann/EAD owns a company in Alabama that bid on U.S. Air Force Refueling Tanker and the DOD awarded them the 46 billion dollar contract.

They, NG/EAD, WON the bid and the Refueling Tankers were to be built at Brookley Field, Industrial Complex located in Mobile, Alabama! Boeing claimed foul! Do you think the unions and politics had a hand in awarding the 2nd bid to Boeing? Alabama is a “work free state” maybe that was the reason! Do you think?

Where’s the normal cooks crawling out of the woodwork calling for this ladies head for LAUGHING about cats being killed. Where’s PETA?? huh??

I see. Here’s how it works. When a demented, non-political gunman stalks and shoots at a Democrat, the Republicans are blamed without evidence, and admonished that the time has come to usher in a new era of civility.

Just a month later, when the Democratic legislators of a Midwestern state flee the state to prevent the government from functioning, then union folks create millions of dollars of damage to the capitol, well THAT kind of violence is allowed.

When a fourteen year old gives a speech during an Americans for Prosperity, well who can realistically expect fully grown leftists to remain civil then? According to these professors, the protesters are well within there rights to shout the girl down using profanity, calling her a brat and trying to disrupt the speech.

Well… The professors are right. Their philosophy is so devoid of thought, so devoid of character, so thoroughly devoid of intellectual promise, they could not possibly compete in the market place of ideas and they could not possibly care that they look like complete hypocrites.
