So do those idiots not realize Dr. King also stood against the Union itself for discriminating against minority workers? Or that one of the things they fought for was MERIT-BASED promotion and pay? Which is what they're fighting AGAINST? And that this bill allows them to have power over the union bosses and slackers who ride their hard work based soley on seniority and not performance?

Thought not.

The free lunch is over you lazy entitled communist parasites.

@marip0sa34 Imisrepresented Dr. King's position by stating exactly what he stood for? You make absolutely no sense. At all. Only thing this bill does is make union membership voluntary and require union contracts be renewed yearly to keep the union accountable to the workers.

@PathOfJioFreed and i should trust you....someone who has misrepresented Dr. Kings postition? the far right will say anything to grab power......their actions show where their priorities are......basically corporate control of it all.

@PathOfJioFreed Same over here in the UK. Go for it ! Reclaim the unions for the real workers!. I deliver mail to a union official, £550 ,000 house. He gets RMT shots headlining the inequalities in society. Labour Deputy leaders who stay in union grace and favour mansions,whilst fiddling their expenses. While we tax slave workers have to listen to their BS

[PathOfJioFreed]

@marip0sa34 And neither is the bill we have. It reforms unions and puts the workers in charge, not the bosses.

[marip0sa34]

@PathOfJioFreed correct....but King was for reform, not actually abolishing unions......check it out!

Wake up and smell the coffee. Nothing will not stop the movement of truth and justice. Will will get back to the American dream. A dream for all who work towards it.

A dollar not spent on wages is a dollar that is freed up for production of products and services created by the firm. As most americans, especially the working class live paycheck to paycheck, their entire checks get spent on consumption of goods and services that have already been produced. Hence, the worker's standard of living declines as prices rise on goods and services becoming more scarce even though his salary is 3x his or her parents generation of workers who lived much better.

Solidarity, workers rights, all buzz words of the communist party.
