Hitler Brown Shirts!!!

[JeresyMike18]

Unions do not suck. They have become corrupted and care more about their money and power than they do workers. When unions originated the people running the unions were also the workers. Now on colonialism, I disagree U.S. should have a stronghold on countries and should leave them independent, however, Puerto Rico has been left better off than most countries from U.S. intervention.

[ProudConservative2]

HEY! Fall in line... pay your dues and shut up! You are pawns and your leadership is smarter than you are! Wake up people! Unions SUCK!

[ThePoisonYouth]

After watching this video, I would have to agree with you on that one.

@ThePoisonYouth : SEIU is NOT a union. It is a purple Mafia.

[shaithis45]

SEIU is very big where I'm at considering the fact that the state that I'm in makes use of that union that state employees are a part of whether they want to be or not. My dad was part of a union working for the city of Los Angeles and my late grandpa also worked for one of the labor unions as a local truck driver. I've already worked the private sector before to know that you can get fucked over big time and now I work in the pubic sector as a result. Took my experience and moved on.

[ThePoisonYouth]

So.... why won't the SEIU members listen to the opposing view? What the hell kind of labor union is SEIU?

[HLMSR]

Down with rabid impreialists and colonialists.

Le sugiero que ponga canciones que realmente sirvan de referente histórico o cultural del país en que habla. Por ejemplo cuando empieza la parte en que el magisterio se dio cita frente al centro de convenciones pone una canción Venezolana que lo único que habla es la permanencia de su presidente en el poder. Lo que no significa nada para las imágenes que pone a la par y para Puerto Rico en ese momento. Le sugiero que busque compañeros de habla hispana antes de cometer dicho error.
