"Union fat-cats...myth or reality?"

So...you think labor unions are run by cigar chomping "Union Fat Cats", who receive outrageous salaries and benefits, while living a life of luxury comparable to Saudi Arabian Princes, lording their unrestrained power over the entire United States of America... all on the backs of the union-enslaved workers they represent. Here's your chance to prove it.

Taft-Hartley clearly states, and a number of court cases have confirmed, that non-union members can be compelled to pay only that portion of union dues that is attributable to the cost of representing employees in collective bargaining and providing the service that are given to union members. Indeed, the law specifically states that non-members cannot be required to pay for the union’s political activities or for the costs incurred by the union resulting from organizing employees. So as usual wrongriki lies and misleads !

“In short, if unions truly did not want to represent so-called “freeloaders,” they could well do so by insisting on members-only contracts in both the private and public sector. Perhaps such a policy would make more workers stick to their unions by paying dues and reaping the rewards of collective bargaining. Or, perhaps union membership will dwindle even further as non-members realize that they can do just fine on their own two feet.”

“For decades, union bosses and their political puppets have spread half-truths and straight-up lies in a desperate attempt to shift public opinion towards saving union-shop laws – where workers are compelled to pay dues whether they like it or not.”

And yet the Know Nothing Expert still cant wrap its pea brain around the fact that as retiree's no former active union members pay dues ! So all its typical half-truths and lies don't mean anything ! Of course we would expect that sort of mis-leading crap from wrongriki ! And just why would anybody care about what a non-working leach on society has to say on unions ? It has no experience and the only info it gets is from right-wing garbage factories !

We are Ohio. co m And just who and how many does your republican super PAC's represent ?? We don't know because they, unlike unions, don't have to report those donatiions !If it sounds a little fishy you can bet it smells a whole lot fishy ! And still regardless of all your efforts workers will have the choice whether to CHOOSE to work union or CHOOSE to work non union which does make it voluntary ! We are Ohio .co m

“During his presentation, Mix displayed company contracts from states without right-to-work laws containing language that states union participation is a condition of employment.”

Who receives outrageous salaries and benefits, while living a life of luxury, lording their unrestrained power over the workers?

. . .

“Dennis Gannon, former president of the Chicago Federation of Labor. In 2004, he began receiving more than $150,000 a year after retiring at age 50 from a $56,000-a-year city job that he had left nearly 13 years earlier. He received his city pension while collecting a salary of about $200,000 from the federation. During his lifetime, the city municipal pension fund will pay him approximately $5 million. Gannon told the Tribune that he was only following the law in filing for a city pension.”

Well here you go but head , it isn't going to get anymore credible than the "Bureau of Labor Statistics" According to a January 2011 Bureau of Labor Statistics report, workers who belong to a union typically earn higher pay than non-union workers doing the same kind of job. Although it varies based on sector and occupation, the overall averages are striking.

$917 = Median weekly earnings in 2010 of union members.

$717 = Median weekly earnings in 2010 of non-union workers.

That's a yearly difference in salary of $10,400 for union members vs. non-union members.

Union members earn an average of $4.95 more per hour - which equates to a yearly difference of $10,300. (we are ohio.co m)

We are Ohio.co m No #1 Even though the welfare addicted wrongriki's idiocy about retiree's not paying dues anymore comes as no surprise because again it has no valid point to make ! This outright mission to destroy unions and democracy is personal ! unless we stand up and fight he and his republican masters will take labor back a 100 yrs ! The republicans want us all to be like a third world country and give up the rights and dignity so sorely won !We are Ohio.co m
