| Latest Post: Started By: Rank: Category What happened to the "Union Influence in Politics" topic?Even though I initiated it as the debut topic in the Times forums, I'm happy to realize it has been deleted. It died an ugly death long ago, and should have been executed long before it was. I'm curious though... Why? I am unaware of the travesty that occurred that was sufficiently heinous to warrant it's deletion... As compared to the tripe on ALL the other threads that is evident on a daily basis. Member CommentsMunsterLook ignorant one , haven't you ever heard of Taft-Hartly ? One has to wonder , does wrongriki ever look at anything that isn't a biased republican crap factory ? Talk about brainwashed and indoctrinated !!! The truth doesnt sit well with "people" who are used to telling half-truths and out right lies ! And the truth is a person either CHOOSES to go to work at A: a union shop or B: CHOOSES to go to work at a non-union shop ! Either way a person gets to choose and since thats the whole point of you "peoples" arguement it lets all the air out of your balloon now dont it ! We are Ohio.co m Posted 7 days ago. R1KRA8Right-To-Work legislation is now being vehemently fought against by union bosses, their family members, and their toadies in order to deny the workers the power and freedom to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment. * * * (ohioansforworkplacefreedom) Posted 7 days ago. scrappileRight-to-work legislation is now being pushed by right wing, pro-corporate legislators nationally in order to break the power of unions, which now only represent 9 percent of workers in private industry in the U.S. Right-to-work would bar unions from collecting dues from all represented workers, while still requiring unions to represent all workers. It would reverse previous union elections won by unions in which the entire unit had elected to be represented by unions, breaking the unity needed by labor to have any power. Posted 7 days ago.

R1KRA8“Union bosses talk a good “wealth redistribution” game, but they don’t practice what they preach.” “They’re like the pigs that took over the farmer’s house in George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” Remember, they led the “socialist” revolution to overthrow the evil farmer, then moved into his house, started wearing his clothes and started acting just like the evil farmer did.” . . . ‘1 percent’ union bosses have little financial solidarity with everyday union members By Kyle Olson * * * (ohioansforworkplacefreedom) Posted 8 days ago. MunsterUpdated: Right-to-work legislation put down hard, CONCORD— For the third time in three years, right-to-work legislation was defeated, this time when the House voted 212-141 Wednesday, killing the bill. **** After two years of heated and bitter battles when former House Speaker William O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, made right-to-work one of his priorities, lawmakers this year spent about 45 minutes debating House Bill 323, which would prohibit employers and labor organizations from including fees for non-union members in collective bargaining agreements. ***** Opponents said HB 322 is an attack on organized labor that will drive down wages and destroy middle class families in a race to the bottom.

It perverts the historic mission of unionism. Yet, despite their betrayals of the workers’ interests, virtually everyone who pretends to have the workers’ interests at heart—including the “Communists,” the “Socialist” reformers, and the “friend of labor” liberals—upholds the present unions.” . . .

MunsterMyths and Facts About Unions Myth: Unions are outside, special-interest groups. Fact: Workers are the union. A union is simply a democratic organization of working people standing up for their rights on the job and in society. Unions also bring people together in the community to stand up for issues that matter to all working people. Myth: Unions mean more conflict in the workplace. Fact: Unions can make the workplace a more harmonious place to work. A union contract allows the company and workers to sit down as equals and discuss problems as they come up. Without a union, workers’ lives are often in more turmoil because they have to deal with more favoritism and less economic security. Myth: Companies close due to unions. Fact: Companies close for economic reasons—and the vast majority of companies that close are nonunion. Some companies, however, like to keep this myth alive by illegally threatening workers who attempt to form a union ! Posted 9 days ago. Post a Comment |
