Workers Face Union Violence During Volvo Strike

[SansAuthoritas]

Union thugs. You have no right to prevent other people from working. You make artificially higher wages than other people by your strongarm tactics. You're nothing but welfare leeches. $57 per hour to hang a door? Get real! Grow up, and be a productive member of society. You know, actually have a job that pays what your labor is actually worth? If I'm ever a jury member on a case where a worker was forced to kill a union thug? "Not guilty." Non-union workers, defend yourselves from these scum.

[RAMSEYDAX]

FAKE

[RAMSEYDAX]

FAKE FAKE FAKE Corporate propoganda like the Red Scare! This video shows how low corporations will go. I hope they keep creating videos like this because it makes them look stupid and increases desire for unions.

[RAMSEYDAX]

This is all propaganda like the RED SCARE

its s fake its funny!

and the lady that posted that wal-mart is good your nuts. As soon as their done with you your going to be thrown to the ditch. The Wal-Mart workers look like a clan of hillbilly rejects. They hire stupid people, seniors, and unfortunate individuals with disablities so they can pay them crap and control them

[yaiknowscrewme]

I was threatened once at a job for not going gov union in a state job..I was told that things could happen and i could change my mind as time rolls on ..and i told him strait up"If u think ya gonna scare me with ya bullshit youre wrong and if one hair,one piece of my prporty was fucked with that he will answert to me ..judge,jury and ..u know the rest.." I was never messed with and i never spoke to him again

[harley145000]

every state should be a right to work state,Michegan included

[Slimey79]

I'd rather have to explain to my kid what a "scab" is than what "welfare" is.

[KafkaCrow]

Most unions suck. They're just capitalist enterprises. The people who they claim to represent get done over by them all the time. IWW is the only decent union going.

[herbs814]

Unions suck because they are SOCIALIST enterprises. Unions use bribery, force, intimidation, and violence to coerce workers to do what is not in their best interest. Then they use the dues they stole from employers (under threat of force) to buy politicians to enact more restrictions of employee freedom. Unions will steal every last shred of freedom away from us if we don't stand up for freedom, capitalism, and the Constitution. The unions' use of force is all the proof we need: unions are evil

[LiberalMessiah]

Oh come off it now. Those were not actual workers. They were actors!!!

[jdub884123]

nah, they are real workers. i worked with one or two of them and i am part of that union.

[phattvids]

They got it right, SCABS! ! ! ! ! ! !

[dlally929]

The scab should tell his kid I am stealing peoples work and getting the benifits and pay the are out there fighting for. I f you think the company wants to pay you good money or health care look up the history of the AUW and how companies had people killed. Look at the placks in Detroit auto plants.

[Slimey79]

If by "steal" you mean "fill the newly-opened position". When the employee strikes, he's telling the company, "I no longer want this job. I will work this job if you pay me what *I* want but, right now, I don't want this job."

[goawstarz]

They should have interviewed the thousands of workers and families who did not cross the lines. They stood up for the 3-4 people in this video so that working conditions improved and benefits stay in take. There are two sides to this story. I see the tears but I also know what sacrafice is for the greater good of thousands of SW. Virginia families! This makes it look like every striker @ Volvo did vile things!!! DID not happen!

[sincityskywalker]

I'm sorry but that stupid bitch pissed me off... these people want you to think unions are a bunch of thugs. that was a bunch of bullshit If you want to see bullshit check out the Detroit free press strike

[chrish19014]

If all worker stick together we all win.

[kitten4762]

These scabs don't seem to mind reaping the benefits that the "militant union members" won for them. They don't like the union maybe they should slip on a Wal-Mart vest and work for $7.00 an hour

[someguy53086]

I got $10.00 an hour starting pay at Wal-Mart. What are you talking about? Wal-Mart's starting pay is generally higher than minimum wage because they want to stifle their competition (small businesses.)

[someguy53086]

What are you talking about? I started out as a cashier at Wal-Mart at $10.00 an hour. Wal-Mart is a proponent of increasing the minimum wage because it can afford to pay its employees more while its competition (small businesses) cannot.

The main reason you are anti Wal-Mart is because they aren't unionized.

[refbum1]

What this video really highlights is once again, the unions FAIL to realize is that both sides have rights. You want to strike and someone wants to work? That is both your choices. YET, you aren't happy with their choice so you have to threaten, flatten tires, intimidate, break the law. Then wonder why unions get a bad rap.

They have their rights, respect them, move on. Ignore them if you disagree. Oh no, use violence to try and take away their decisions to yours. Hitler tried that.

[IWLocal8]

Protesting is against the law? LMAO Check out how the US was founded.

FYI-Hitler was anti-Union because they were a voice of opposition to fascism. Kinda like what's going on today.

[bfjq9rw]

I was a union member for twenty years. Nothing much has changed. Union bullies still fail to understand that strong language does nothing to enhance a weak argument.

[jbrenner2007]

Go Unions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jbrenner2007]

OH boohoo. You scabs. I don't see how you can sleep at night when you cross a picket line.

[forsoothand]

If you're not willing to stand up against threats, slashed tires, and busted windshields, then you are a sorry American.

America is about the freedom to join AND the freedom NOT to join. It's about the freedom peaceably to assemble AND the freedom to keep working.

What comes first, freedom or unionism? I know how Joseph Stalin answered that question, and watching this and reading your comments shows me where you stand on it too. Shame on you, in the name of our country.

[7coveys]

Daddy tells her that he makes fun of the union workers on strike by waiving his paycheck at the workers as he leaves volvo. Daddy tells her he takes the benefits that the union is fighting for, thats what a SCAB is.

[J0EH1LL]

Daddy tells her that a SCAB will never have the respect from those workers who stood up under legal framework and engaged a company who sought to deprive them of benefits that others only gained with lives and blood

Daddy tells her that a SCAB stands up for ten hour days six days a week with no overtime;

Daddy tells her that a SCAB hopes children working in factories is what returns;

Daddy tells her that a SCAB forgets the weekends were won by workers;

[57cowb0y]

Run Scab Run lol...lol...

[brdog3]

sorry brother.I hit the thumbs down by mistake

[toughy299]

Now couple of funny things. Mrs Murphy was more scared by a wooden box then 2 smashed windshields? Dreama also seem to take joy on watching the grooping as seem to explain how it happen quite well.

[2069forever]

Noboby gives me money,i earn my money and so does all my union brothers and sisters!"What does a scab mean daddy?"...someone who sponges off of their coworker's sacrifices!!!!

[crawdkenny]

"What does scab mean, daddy?"

Someone who has a sense of duty to the people who give them money every week.

[randywebb717]

?? A sense of Doodie??

[cougardave23]

I think that since the people who came on this video are talking bad about their co-workers, they should be subject to the same punishment that some of the people who are union have had to suffer for telling "anti-scab" jokes or talking about "scabs". If your going to punish the union people for making comments, then why aren't they punishing these people for making comments? Maybe they should also look at video's to see who held up checks and had stickers in their truck windows? Fair is fair

[toughy299]

Let's see here Abe was a committman, Dreama was a e-board member, Michael Murphy ran for committman sounds like sour grapes to me. Dreama told me she wouldn't cross the picket line. I just feel like I been lied to and no one said thanks for the good contract they got.

[randywebb717]

Right on Toughy, not ot mention they have all needed Union representation to save thier jobs at one point or another. This bothers me, oh no, now i can't sleep!!!

[mburkett93]

when you turn your bad on coworkers,you get what you get everyone nows that.

[2069forever]

Hey Sugar(Abe)you forgot to mention how you were once a union steward with this local,lets hear what happened there?You too Dreama,you used to be a die hard unionist.Tell the folks why you dropped out!Either of you want to air your dirty laundry on here?I think not.

[ibilldavis]

The only good scab is a dead scab.

[mark4harvick]

You people can now go to Hollywood not that their strike was over! Maybe you wouldn't have been treated half as bad if you hadn't come out holding a pay check on your window taunting us and holding signs saying "keep fighting we need a raise" Crossing the line in old times would have been considered treason. What was the punishment for that? Hanging on the courthouse lawn. Simpler times!!!

[1oldtunes]

Thanks Mr Mark Mix you have just opened the casket again, when we are trying to put the strike behind us, you have opened it again with the scabs crying about their rights ,if they are not happy with the job they have, why don't you find them something else maybe in a non union shop,I hear some of the local fast food chains are hiring These workers have chose their path,yes Virginia has a right to work law we all know that.There's and old saying If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.

[1oldtunes]

What did these people expect, roses, candy and a good hug from the union .

[squid551969]

I am not a thug!! I am a pimp!! Why do you get to call names but I can't?

[squid551969]

Mine was deleted too. All I wanted to do was give congrats to The Amigos.

[randywebb717]

The people that crossed the line instigated violence, tried to run over people on the picket line and many more while they were pulling the rug out from under our feet. Who's the militants?

[randywebb717]

Right to work, how about right to comment!!!!

[randywebb717]

Why do you cowards keep deleting our comments, scared of the truth????

[sinkambala]

keep up the great work!

[libertyerian]

Union terrorist. nothing new, they've destroyed they own industry and pout thousands of people out of work so a few old timers get big pensions. ass holes should feel lucky they're not working at wallmart.

[raysingrl]

First of all, if you're trying to sound intelligent, proofread first. Second, those assholes you speak of include my mother. Before you decide to state your opinion, you should know what you're talking about. At 63 years old, my mother deserves the pension she's getting. And, the young Volvo workers deserve to have their call-back rights. The UAW 2069 worked hard to secure all of the rights for the workers AND the scabs. (Yes, I said it, go cry.) Unions aren't assholes people like you are.

[raysingrl]

By the way, this is in response to the original comment by "libertyerian."

[libertyerian]

I was talking about the terrorist in the Unions. If your mother put a coffin on some ones lawn and threatens their life I hope she end up in one soon. Communist fuckers hate any one that thinks for them selves.

[Robert4363]

I take it you're excusing violent acts against another to prove your Union is morally right? You lost the argument by not damming the violent acts first!
