| Latest Post: Started By: Rank: Category "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. Member CommentsKnowsbestbe so anti -freedom and anti-living wage is just nutty !For the life of me I cant fathom how the righties here can harbor such hate against a organization that has benefited almost all working americans ! Through the efforts of unions there are things like child labor laws, 40 hr work week, insurance, sick pay, increased safety,vacations , and the list goes on and on ! Why cant these weak-minded brain-washed "people" understand that without union struggles we would all still be working 80hr weeks ,6 days a week for nearly nothing ! Thats not democracy thats still slavery ! Posted 83 days ago. R1KRA8Union Corruption Roundup: Academy Awards Edition website> laborpains <website Posted 83 days ago. KnowsbestWow , what a line of crap !! So I suppose this is your new "go to" website ! Well thats their opinion as idiotic as it is !Unions are still the line in the sand for the safety of workers ! And unions assure workers rights and keep businesses from taking advantage of workers ! I think the history of unions tells the true story ! Things like the 40 hr work week , child labor laws , paid vacations , sick days , and the list goes on and on ! You may not be union but you can thank unions for what benefits you get !When poor wrongriki cant find a VALID arguement this is the garbage you have to deal with ! Posted 83 days ago. R1KRA8“Most union leaders started out as sincere and honest people, but the harsh realities of capitalism quickly disillusioned them.” “The more hopeless the plight of the rank and file appeared, the more the union leaders turned to feathering their own nests.” “Careerists and opportunists rose to the top, exploiting the workers’ instinct for solidarity to promote their own bureaucratic interests as labor merchants of the capitalist class of labor exploiters.” “In strike after strike, the unions have sacrificed and bartered away the workers’ interests in exchange for such things as the “union shop” and the dues “checkoff” that practically make the capitalist employer a union official and dues collector.” “And they seal these deals with labor contracts that tie workers’ hands and that capitalists often break.” . . .

MunsterWell thats just your opinion and just about what I'd expect from a republican ! No#1 : there are NO "FAT CATS ", just officers of the international doing their job and being compesated for it ! Like I said , when compared to even a small company's CEO they are dramatically under paid ! And if the owner shut your plant down well thats his fault for not willing to compromise , much like the obstuctionist republican house !And jsut which businesses do you think were the first to be outsourced ? You can deny deflect all you want but there is a republican war on labor ! Posted 83 days ago. MunsterEnd this idiotic war on workers !!Now wrongriki's quoting a socialist site , will wonders ever stop ? You can keep on searching the web forany lie you want but the plain truth is unions are good for workers and not so good for the wealthy as it cuts into their bottom line !Wrongriki's the one that claims that making a choice is not making a choice ! In most places thats considered a lie !! And whenever this anti-freedom , anti-people person cant answer it comes up with the usual retort from a 12 year old ! Posted 83 days ago. R1KRA8“The SLP maintains that today’s unions are dedicated to principles that run counter to the best interests of the workers.” “That’s why they fail to unite the workers and why they become obstacles to workers’ efforts to defend themselves against ruthless exploitation.” “ They call themselves unions, but they are not based on the principle of working-class unity. They divide workers instead of uniting them.” . . . What's Wrong With the Labor Unions? (Socialist Labor Party of America) * * * (Ohioans for Workplace Freedom) Posted 83 days ago. MunsterEvery working person has a choice either to A: work at a union shop or B: work at a non-union shop !And as far as wrongriki's "fat cats" there is no such thing only officers in the union who are in charge !IE: president , vice president etc ! And by comparison to a CEO of even a small company they are underpaid !Most have high degrees and could make alot more money in the private sector but choose to try to advance the rights of american workers! Posted 84 days ago. MunsterSo far I've heard nothing about failure to protect anything ! The union is in place and times are tough for all ! We've had to give concessions just like the rest of america, and all the while more and more companies out-source union jobs !Just what do you expect the union to do ? Posted 84 days ago.

(Socialist Labor Party of America) Posted 84 days ago. MunsterLets end this republican war on working americans ! The whole of your arguement is that people dont have a choice RIGHT ?Well seems to me that if a person either chooses to work at A: a union shop or B: a non-union shop they are making a conscience choice ! SO EXACTLY HOW IS MAKING A CHOICE NOT A CHOICE !!! And if this fact is correct ( and it is ) then wouldnt that make your whole right-wing bullshi& a lie ?? Still adhereing to that stale old lie !!!
