This is happening today in Michigan where the legislature and the Governor are voting to make the state a 'right to work' state. Meaning that people won't have to be union members as a condition of employment in Michigan.
Naturally, the United Auto Workers responds with violence.
Meanwhile, the thugs in the legislature rammed a bill through with no debate, no committees, and no input from anyone in one afternoon.
I can't imagine why they'd be mad.
Wait, the Dems rammed through "Obamacare"?
Execs and Thugs are the same whether they be union or corporate.
It's important to note that in situations like this, one party is pure unadulterated evil and the other is as pure as driven snow.
One step at a time to get rid of these cancers we call unions. Keep it going!
Yeah who the fuck do American workers think they are? They should be happy to make BanglaDesh wages to keep the USA profitable.
And Bart, it only reinforces our low opinion of thug controlled American Unions.
A real democratic union anywhere else in the world, they would have broke his knees with a baseball bat and torched his car. One guy punching... they didn't even storm the Legislature with tar & feathers.
Union thugs only punch people. Corporate ones rob 'em blind and reduce the places they worked at to rubble. Which one is worse?
Besides, it was one of the creatures from FOX that got hit. It's not like it happened to someone that mattered.
Mixed emotions on this one. I agree that people should not be forced to pay union dues against their will. Unions these days spend more time running political campaigns for politicians, than representing thier workers. The SEIU workers at my hotel are about to lose their medical benefits when their current contract expires. They have staged two picket demonstrations so far. The workers were not paid for their time at the demonstations. Meanwhile SEIU was paying people good money to picket at Romney events. How many millions did SEIU donate to the Obama campaign? That money would have been put to better use being set aside for a strike fund. Many workers say they cannot afford to go on strike with the shitty strike pay being proposed, they say they will have to cross the picket line. Thats what management is counting on. Get enough people to cross,and hire replacement workers. A few months down the road, they take a vote to decertify the union.If that happens: SEIU will have won the battle, but lost the war. Its not just my hotel either. Most hotels are simply ignoring the union, and refusing to negotiate. The contract expires at the same time for most hotels.With the economy the way it is, they will have no problem hiring replacement workers. SEIU totaly dropped the ball on this. They should have spent a lot more time preparing for this event that everyone knew was coming. All the workers have heard for the last year is:OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!!! Not one word about their own future was uttered untill after the campaign. If the workers lose their union, not even President Obama will be able to help them. Those $16 to $24 an hour jobs will turn into $2.13 to $8.25 an hour jobs. ($2.13 an hour being the wage for tipped employees). I think SEIU deserves just as much scorn if not more so, than the employer. The workers are paying the union to represent their best interest. Clearly that has not happened here.
As a Conservative supporting union member I think this violence is disgusting. I don't support everything unions do but I understand the need for them and support the peoples right to organize.
