"Right-to-Work" is Bad for America!

Don't believe the hype! So-called "Right-to-Work" laws are a corporate scam designed to lower wages and benefits for all workers so Fat Cats can increase their profits, salaries, and bonuses!

@GunsNRosesbitches Can you explain their lower unemployment rate? Can you explain their trade surpluses? Can you explain the fact that Germany makes twice as many cars as America, pays its workers twice as much, has unionized workforces, and didn't need to bail out its car companies?

I won't hold my breath.

I will take my UNION job any day over a non-union job. I work hard, I make a liveable wage, and have excellent health benefits. Moving manufacturing to communist China is what ruined our economy. I buy AMERICAN Made! (whenever possible) I would never buy Made in China anything. People before Profits! I believe in the American Workforce and I'm proud to be apart of it.

@dbistrumalot well as a student at university, that's not really an option. Also, I forgot to mention all of the lazy coworkers I am forced to deal with....

@cooljj82 When you pay shit wages and you raise them slightly so the fuck what. it doesn't prove anything, Just that in right to work states more low wage jobs are being created. That's good for companies but not for workers

[dbistrumalot]

@cooljj82 Too bad the cost of everything else has tripled in the same time frame. Wages have not kept up with cost of living and that's a fact.

@BrandonCRC The fact of the matter is , if trade union workers are not productive they will be out of a job, plain and simple

@deltasword1994 You need to get in a different occupation with a different union. try construction laborer or carpenter. Much more pay, in fact enough that you could afford to live comfortably

[deltasword1994]

@deltasword1994 and you know the great thing? My union doesn't do jack dittely shit. The last important thing the fought for was ten years ago, for seniority and job security. IT DOESN'T EVEN APPLY TO ME. BECAUSE OF HOW YOUNG I AM, I RECEIVE NO BENEFITS.

@proudteamster135 I love my union. I work in the grocery retail industry, barely making more than minimum wage (only 10 cents more) I have car bill, gas bill, living expenditures, and various oddities (such as college costs) that eat up my money (this includes taxes). At the end of all that, I have approximately $7 left in my check, which the union takes for itself. I live paycheck to paycheck, not even having enough money to save up. I work more than 40 hours weeks to survive.... RIDICULOUS!!!!

@BrandonCRC My Union hall just spent 5 million dollars on an addition to our training center to provide the latest and greatest training for its members. That way we can work faster and provide better quality work for the contractors that we work for.

@BrandonCRC The ignorance in your post is staggering. It's ALWAYS the workers on the line who come up with improvements that increase productivity and efficiency you moron. That was what made Japanese cars so superior in quality and what gives German cars that are made in Germany better build quality than the ones made in America. I have clients who are Mercedes Benz executives and when the company offers them demonstrators they refuse the American made ones. Idiot!
