Hey smurf, still fighting the bad fight I see. What is it about " right to work" that appeals to you? Is it dues itself that bothers you? Is it your local leadership, your IBT leadership? What has made you a proponent to this destructive and dangerous law

Nice to see you back RC. I was afraid you had gone off the deep end & joined Isis or something. You know I'm just joking about that but since we last talked the left has really shown their true colors. From the liberals meltdown about the American Sniper movie to the president chastising Christians for condemning senseless murders by islamists. But we'll just pick it up here. Thank you for your renewed commitment to civility by the way. It looks way better on you.
1) What is it about "right to work" that appeals to me you ask?... I like that union membership has grown in RTW states by 5% while non-rtw unions have declined by 4.5% and being an advocate for a strong union I like that it makes our leadership more accountable to its members. Like having a nuclear bomb, you hope to never have to use it but you are a heck of a lot more persuasive when u have it than when you dont. Will be interesting to see what happens with 710 if the contract is voted down a second time considering the number of members that are in RTW states Iowa & Indiana & possibly Illinois in the future. Pissing off the membership by forcing us into a concessionary contract like they did to a Kentucky local can't be good for business & the "leadership" has to take that into consideration. Not to mention the economic benefits states are seeing by adopting the law & the fact that household incomes are rising faster for those families.
2)Is it dues itself that bothers you?... Don't be silly. I have nothing against paying for a service that I find value in, just like my cable bill or any other. What I don't like is paying for representation that is more interested in representing Washington liberals rather than the people that pay their salaries.
3) Is it your local leadership, your IBT leadership?..Both have proved themselves to be beyond useless.
4) What has made you a proponent to this destructive and dangerous law?...First I'm not a proponent. I'm a defender, only because it has been vilified, lied about, misconstrued, & used as a wedge for political gain. Second I disagree with the premise that it is a dangerous & destructive law because the facts, as they are, before being molested, misused & misrepresented say otherwise.
As I've explained many times before. RTW has been a distraction from the real issues working people face. Workers have been busy fighting an imaginary monster while their health insurance benefits were being legislated away, their freedoms infringed upon & their country downgraded by progressive, anti-American, anti-christian, communist politicians.
