Lou Dobbs Interviews UFCW Rep after Swift Raid

[javy926]

The corporations are responsible for the illigal immigration

why this asshole Lou Dobbs do not use his media power to put all these corporations on the spot the ones who sent the good jobs abroad and at the same time he blame every little thing that happended in this country to the immigrants, as far as everybody knows WE ALL ARE Immigrants the NATIVE Americans are the only real americans.

I have no problem with goverment coming in and detaining everyone to find out who should be her and who should not. Unions are like any other buisness.They are there to make money its not like the old days. And by allowing illegals the become union members deteorates rights of legal citizens who are union members because the illegals do no complain about hours no lunches etc. We need to get them out of the U.S and stop the hiring of illegals and arrest those who use false identity.

[thebestofall007]

the problem is that a lot of unions are serving the interests of the union bosses, not the workers. if they were for workers, they would be working with the authorities in enforcement efforts. the problem is unions want more poor workers so they can have more members and then more dues. they effectively ignore the root cause of the falling wages in this industry, the surplus of cheap labor that comes from the illegal alien invasion of this country.

[grffnhs08]

i cant stand Lou!! racist bastard! the union is sueing because they netted everybody legal and illegal people, U.S. citizens as well. The union is involved because ICE held legal immigrants as well U.S. Citizens in custody just for going to work that day!

[jmolina103]

Lou , what has driven low wages is the high cost of insurance . Insurance is high because of malpractice lawsuits.

[thebestofall007]

its so ironic that these unions claim to represent the worker but instead of being led by workers, they are led by union bosses whose purpose is to collect the dues from the dues paying members illegal or not. when pressed on this issue, their argument gets all wishy washy with the "hard worker" pcbs sob story. this representative is right when he says that that corporations supress wages by hiring illegals, but does nothing about it. he sounds like he's correcting the symptom not the problem.

[drewc03]

Because DUH! Unions don't hire anyone. They only represent them so NO FAIR USE DOCTRINE for him .

[drewc03]

Is Lou Dobbs really that big of an idiot? It's not the Unions fault that there are illegal aliens working at Swift, it's SWIFT'S fault for hiring them in the first place. If Lou Snobbs knew any Federal (or state) law, then maybe he wouldn't look like such a tool!

[stevenrayd]

Anyone who belongs to a Union understands that Unions only represent their existance not the members they consistantly pay the DNC

to keep legislation for them and want only nieve labor so they can go on unquestioned.

And they reward the local officers with lock seniorty to ensure things will be looked at in their view among other tactics its not for the American worker anymore they fear you may not have the ignorance they so depend upon for their longevity.

[yummyvoo]

WOW! You must a union member also. I sure hope your's is better than the carptenter's union I belong to. What a joke, talk about SELF SERVING. They pick and choose who they defend and to what degree of defense.I was told "we may have to defend but not our fullest abilty",image my surprise when I needed help and only recieved the most limited anount of their time and effort,and I questioned different things was told "I wouln't have left you sign that" , but still did nothing about it.GOOD LUCK!!!

[Cowboylikeme]

I work for swift and co. in Cactus Texas and I am a ufcw steward...... I never knew that this was going on.. it was swifts overlook not the unions......

[ShmeeShoo]

This is rediculous, the truth is even without the unregistered workers corporations would fight tooth and nail to bring down wages. It is complete bullshit to think one group of people is responsible, there is no shortage of work and as long as supply is lower than demand wages should rise. But they dont because corporation are all about money.

[rbbum]

BS Unions are just as bad as these corps. I Want the cheap labor GONE !!!!!!!! I will FIGHT FOR IT !!

[bigcrazy859]

im a ufcw member and shit like this makes me sick!

[BIGFREEZ]

The UFCW needs to dissapear like HOFFA! hes a sellout to the american people and only helps corporate outsorcing jobs and importing illegals. Kill that son of a bitch!

[snodozer]

you're either part of the problem .. or part of the solution! well put!

[togussa]

Lou Dobbs and Keith Olbermann need to be on the same network.

[DeportThemNow]

Thank you for posting that Edward and thank you for standing up as an American who understands the problem here. It is not about race it is about ILLEGAL. We WANT the illegal aliens to be scared and we want them to go HOME.

[edward3076]

i work at swift and company i was there at one of the plant during the raid i work at the plant in wothtington mn iam mexican american my parents are form mexico and i was born in the united states. ICE was there to protect my rights they did not in any way made me feel scared or aprahensive i had no reason to feel that way becuse i had nothing to fear not did my dad and mother who work there for about 15 years.Only people who were there illegaly were the one who were in truble.

[jimjim]

Lou Dobbs!!

[fitchmicah]

youguys honestly believe this bullshit that decreasing wages are from unions?!

do you think that the growing wage gap is because companies can't afford to pay their workers more or because top executives in corporations are greedy?

[DeportThemNow]

Drink some more kool-aid fitchmicah.. Companies can afford to pay American workers, they just don't WANT to because then their corporate elite won't get to keep their yachts. Then decreasing wages are not because of the unions.. they are despite the unions who are complicit with the company in allowing illegal aliens to be employed at half the wages of Americans. Did you need subtitles?

[fitchmicah]

you should reread my post buddy...

[fitchmicah]

P.S. I would answer my question the same way.

[getrealidiot]

While i agree that the corporations benefit the most from cheap labor the union shouldnt endorse it! If anything they should be fighting against illegals they drive wages down.

[johnq54]

This Union Dude don't get it. Unions in this country were established to protect American citizens. He is simply protecting his job regardless of what country they are from. He is damaging Unions in America as he speaks.
