To make union leaders accountable to their members more than once every 5 years.
You have more in common with the Koch brothers than we knew. I've never seen you rail against the ACA, blocking of the Keystone pipeline or Obamas war on coal but I'm proud to see you acknowledge the lefts ani-worker agenda if only for today.
You are dead wrong on the wages, benefits and vacations. Without collective bargaining, those great wages and benies are in line with the competition. Have you checked there compensation lately. Your not gonna make your mortgage payment without the COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED wages you receive. You earn a wage one box at a time, your union affiliation is the reason you receive the highest pay in the industry. PEOPLE DIED FIGHTING FOR UNION WAGES, benefits, and work place safety. You support freeloading. Your transparent in your desire to rid yourself of the "burden" of paying dues. Without due, the Union ceases to exist. Without the Union, you might as well head over to FedEx. Get ready to buy your own package car. Low wages, no vacation, pay your own insurance. You think management is treated badly, just wait and see what they have in store for the "ex" union drivers. Foolish boy.
"The data", "the bureau of labor statistics". You throw out these statements constantly with nothing to back them up. You post links that only show the massive decline of union employees since the inception of RTW and try to ADD your own non-evidential addendum to them to try and prove a point that is both counter to common sense and even counter to the data you provide. RTW DESTROYS union shops because there will always be cowards like you that will hold back dues because you feel you don't need the Union. You said it above, "you earn your wages one box at a time". In your eye's, the Union does nothing for you. Your a short sighted anti-union freeloader. You need to work a non-union job so you understand the repercussions of destroying this union. Educate yourself smurf, before it's to late.
Once again smurf, your sooooooo correct, the Koch bros are supporting RTW because they're pure humanitarians. It's not about making money, it's all about the workers rights. They strive to rid workers of the horrors of good wages and good benefits. After all, these are merely frivolous, unnecessary luxuries. Wake up.
You must live in a beige, danger free utopian world. Sure, the company will pay you what the union wages and benies are as more people see that they'll realize they don't have to pay dues to receive that compensation either. When enough people stop paying dues, the company campaigns for a decertification vote. Once the Union is voted out, I'll give you one guess as to what happens to your compensation package and your rights in a disciplinary procedure. Great plan gentlemen.
Collective bargaining has brought about the best pay & benefits no doubt which is exactly why its so frustrating to see union members act like sheep when their union leaders begin reversing that trend by cutting deals with democrats that take away our benefits & earnings. Union leaders don't care unless there is a mechanism in place to correct their misrepresentation & RTW is the only effective mechanism we have. Electing sellouts in 5 years cycles does nothing but weaken us collectively.
They already have that choice. Go work somewhere else. If you don't want to wear a blue apron, don't apply at Walmart.
No, I realize what the union does & has done but I also realize what they've quit doing & that's putting their members first. The freeloaders are the 1% union fat-cats taking my dues & yours to make themselves rich off of our labor.
Thinking like this will kill a union.
If you were capable of simple math you would be able to conclude that union membership between 2006 & 2013 grew in RTW states by .5% while it declined in forced union states by 4.6%. I gave you the BLS data. What more do you want? They don't produce that data in bumper sticker form.
They support RTW because they support freedom unlike the financiers of the left.
Walmart hires a lot of people that aren't capable of working other jobs. In fact they've helped move more Americans off of government assistance that any other. Maybe instead of denigrating those employees for wearing a blue apron we should pat them on the back for their hard work instead of being a drain on society.
Who is denigrating the workers? Walmart is to blame, not the employees.
You just told everyone on this forum that you believe that election weaken a democratic system!!! That has to be the most outrageous thing I've ever heard from a "union" member in my entire life, and I'm friggin old! Voting is a primary responsibility of a citizen in the United States! No wonder you're so gung-ho like a school girl for RTW. Apparently your not even a true American. Wow!
They're definitely anti government, until it comes to labor issues, then the more government involvement the better. Hypocrites!!!!
