Posted March 31st, 2009 at 8.58am in Enterprise and Free Markets. Rian Wathen, Former Organizing Director for the UFCW, discusses card check. He discusses how union organizers can use corrupt methods to get people to sign cards that, under the Employee Free Choice Act, would authorize a union without a secret ballot election.
I have seen both sides. It is now the unions turn to go to far. When something like this comes along, it is “no” to the unions. Once they get spanked, and cower, then the companies jockey for an upper-hand, and everyone screams for unions. Until management raises above the fray, and has the old gentleman qualities of do what is right for rights sake, you will always have some sort of union.

Unions are like Liberals because they are run by Liberals. They do what they want, when they want, as they want and will not be called on the carpet because Liberals are running the “show”. the Unions are like President Obama and the Liberal Government of the United Socialist States of America, in that they want to run everything for everyone so that everyone depends on them for everything.
Confused? If you listen to a Union, it is they who get you your pay, it is they who get you your benefits, it is they who will protect you against the company. Unions NEGOTIATE your salary and benefits, they do not pay your directly nor do they have anything to do with your benefits. It is your company that pays you and pays into your benefits. Unions DO represent you against the company and that they have to do by law. Some Unions perform this function very well, others just tell you “We did what we could and that is all we can do.”.
Unions lead you to believe that you have a “right to this and a right to that” when in fact, things like health care is not a right at all, it is a BENEFIT! What you have is a RIGHT to vote the way that you want without intimidation or threat.
