Solidarity, Fellow Workers.

This is why I hate unions. This "bakery worker" probably thinks he should be making more than Tom Brady, with 2 months paid vacation a year, & eight coffee breaks a day! No wonder the company fired his whiney ass.

@FrankeeFraud Your reasoning is astrounding. For you it's OK that companies who make billions in profits will refuse to pay their workers even close to a livable wage. Therefore forcing a majority of these people to go on welfare because they cannot afford to support themselves, much less a family. Then u wanna turn around and demonize these people for going on welfare as well. Typical Neocon thought process. Haven't u learned anything from ur grandfather? You should grow a pair

This is not fair. In a free and democratic society people should be able to express their views without fear of reprisal.

[FrankeeFraud]

"No one's forcing them to do anything?" Well guess what, Bill, no one's forcing you to work there, either.  Get off your ass & find another job, deadbeat!

Read the responses below and see why US companies can take jobs overseas and control the government and lay off millions of people. You go people! Lets support Corporate America and the illegal and unethical tactics they use. Looking at the comments below it's easy to see why our country is in such bad shape. Look at the comment under this one. Unreal people.

Ok you got your job back with back pay what more do you want...MOVE ON... I hate it when they try and speak for everyone not everyone wants a union... I most certainly would not want to pay union dues..HELL NO... I am not handicapped and I can speak for myself... If you dont like CBC you and your supporters should go find employment in some other union factory....and leave the people who want to work there without a union alone...SPEAK FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE WANTS A UNION.

Whenever you see "Unionfacts" somewhere remember this; "Unionfacts" founder is Richard B. (Rick) Berman a former union buster. Also he is a restaurant industry executive who currently works as a lobbyist for the food, alcoholic beverage, pesticide & tobacco industries. His career highlights? As head of the American Beverage Institute he fought against MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). Google his name and find out, he really is a lovely individual.

unions are communist and evil

FUCK YOU YOU NAZI!

[wiseblackass]

Did Mr. Lawhorn bother to read his job application?

It said: "THIS IS OUR COMPANY. WE CAN HIRE AND FIRE WHOEVER THE HELL WE WANT, FOR HOWEVER THE HELL MUCH WE DECIDE TO PAY THEM. IF YOU DON'T AGREE TO OUR TERMS, THEN LOOK FOR EMPLOYMENT ELSEWHERE YOU WHINEY BITCH, OR BETTER YET, START UP YOUR OWN BISCUIT BUSINESS YOU USELESS P-O-S!"

So we agree to disagree. But you my friend to learn your English. Call a tutor from China's English Union (800-go-fukyourself) and some chink from a union can help you speak your original language. Ya FuckTart! And thanks for the information about China - I do recall asking for it but what the fuck ever - yA Loser!

[jbankes2]

Unions suck! They are the reason we have lost all our manufacturing jobs and now they complain when a business lays them off because they are overpaid and underwork.......i know this will not be popular amongst you all but fuck it - it's the truth. Get a job or move to China and work there. As for B Lawhore - fuck you cause you suck

[cupajoe1152]

You are a poster boy for how messed up and distorted some peoples views of organized labor can be. FYI - Theirs unions in China too! And their fighting to make things better for the workers their as well as the rest of the world. And best of all, their making gains.

Hi Jbankes

I suppose you can withdraw more and more on your position as a worker and in the end work as s slave. I bet you will not lose your position to any Chinease being a slave...Or maybe you could pay for work!

Thing is...US people BUY products from those co who fired them...If US people had any kind of leadership they would say: I will not buy Nike unless they become to be produced in the US

BLAME NAFTA!

[takecharge66]

We have currently laws to protect workers, the problem is our own government just sits around and lets workers get fired illegaly. Keep in mind Bill wasn't the only person fired illegally, there were a few others. It should never take 4 years after being illegally fired, especially after winning back pay and his job back. Our government should be ashamed.

[soccrities]

union must give this man work and sacrifice him in,thats fucked up

[soccrities]

He Deserves to be sacrificed in,why the fuck is the union just sitting back put this man to work Sincerely, a pissed off member

[soccrities]

The union should have sacrificed him into the union since he stuck his fucking neck out that pisses me OFF
