  • Pure Orwell from this jackass; the law would take the secret ballot away from workers, so that union goons and other could intimidate them into joining up. Tony Soprano would be very pleased by this bill.

  • Because we all know a "democratic" nation that calls itself "land of the free" MUST force people into unions.

  • Most people have by now realized union membership is a scam. Union bosses make ridiculously large salaries, much larger than anything the workers make. And unions in some professions, such as public school teaching, actually HINDER progress by refusing to allow things like vouchers and competition into the system.

    Americans are fed up with their union fees going to politicians they don't like. They're fed up with so much other union bs. Closed shop is the most moronic thing in the world

  • The age of unions has passed, Democrats. Just let this shit go. You REALLY think workers are gonna SOO much better off if they join a union? Most workers are fine! Sure, this is a recession, but once we get economic boom again, they won't give a fuck. Only a little over 10% of workers right now are actually in unions.

    Most Americans have never been in unions, in fact. The highest level was 32% around FDR's presidency. You really think the employee free choice act will "save us"?

  • It's actually the Employee No Choice Act. The Democrats have really done a good job using doublespeak to fool unions and workers into supporting this nonsense. Hell, the union bosses, those fatcats who love power, said that this is "payback" for supporting the Dems all those years!! Is that what a union leader says who REALLY cares about workers? Or just one who wants power for himself?

  • Ts!

    In Europe you're more likely to get fired, if you're NOT in an union - cause you don't have the support of it! That's the reason you join them in the first place!

    *HEADSCRATCH*

    Strange "land of the fReE"...

    ...seems as if US-unions are handled like criminal organizations...!

    Kinda feudalistic!

  • I just realized I used the wrong kind of to above. To not too.

  • yea. Three Cheers for the freedom to commit corporate fascism at All levels. hip hip Hooray!

  • Sorry man but free speech only applies to the state or state funded programs. Private Citizens dont have too honor your free speech. So its up to them to let you comment or not. It sucks and is kind of dick-ish but then again you dont have to listen to anybody you dont want to.

  • john amato banned me from commenting on his blog. so much for free speech
