About Me:
 
The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) is a voluntary federation of 54 national and international labor unions.

Today's unions represent 10 million working women and men of every race and ethnicity and from every walk of life. We are teachers and truck drivers, musicians and miners, firefighters and farm workers, bakers and bottlers, engineers and editors, pilots and painters, doctors and nurses—and more.

Whether you're a union member or just support the goals of working families—a fair economy, health care for all and the freedom to organize—please join us!

The reason we are in this situation now in the collapse of this country is GREED on all levels and the disrespect for all and yes the unions used to protect us but they to got caught up in with the polititians who are also elected mobsters in my opinion at least the mobsters had a better code of ethics and then even they got to greedy and now we got gang bangers running the streets and all they do is victumize innocent folks they are true thugs and yes some of the unions and politicians are also thugs in suits

This right here is why I dropped from the sheetmetal union. The AFL-CIO are allowing unskilled, untrained to join the ranks of the ones that spent 4 and 5 years of training as well as the OJT. And these unskilled card buyers come in and refuse to go through the train. And many of them can't even speak english.
You know it's bad when only the illegals are joining the unions.

In your video "Workers Get Soaked by Pulte Homes!" it looks like a job for the A-Team. Last I heard they're in the los angeles underground.

Unions are lying to workers and keeping them enslaved. In the past, the owners ruled the employees...not the union bosses rule the employees. It is not better. It is just 1 king for another.

Go fuck yourself. No wonder the Big 3 are about to go under. The UAW and their intimidation tactics have forced wages to rise to outlandish levels. Unions are the reason why America is in the shit it is in. Union members are thugs.
