@goatbut29 using your line of thinking, that a few bad examples of misguided and ill educated union organizers should paint all union organizers and worker organizations in general in a bad light is a slippery slope and would not be acceptable in other situations, and is faulty logic. are all employers greedy and evil just because a few banks were that drove our economy off the cliff? do you see the danger in that logic?

@goatbut29 on the other hand, one can say the same thing about employers coercing, threatening, spying on, retaliating against workers that try to form unions, which if you look through just NLRB charges against employers for doing this type of activity versus unions, employers violate the law exponentially more often than unions do.

@goatbut29 just like in any human created and run organization, whether it is a church, a government, the PTA at the school, a corporation, or a union, there are bad apples and they are subject to the same impulses and drives that all human beings are.

@goatbut29 I dont even recall what i posted here. the comments do not come up anymore below the eloquent comments from "italaingod," so i will retort to your present post. yes, i will admit, there exist some individuals in some unions that do not understand law and the rules of union organizing and what threats, coercion, intimidation, and violations of Section 8(b) and corollary public sector labor laws are.

@creekgrom Wrong. The unions pressure a company and its employees to make themselves union, if they dont, youll come to their house, their kids school, youll drop fake roaches in the food...the videos are right here on youtube and one can easily google what ive said.

Watch the videos of frightened teachers and nurses trying to avoid the union goons. Hows that 'card check' coming? You know, where the employee isnt allowed to privately vote/cast a ballot but must instead let a union goon 'check' ?

italian god, what are you talking about? how could a union take over your job? do you know what a union is? it is the employees at a workplace coming together to fight together to win improvements at work

Fuck yourself you piece of shit. They were trying to help the workers not take over.
