Why aren't you posting about the great job your politicians are doing at home ?

It's not the job of the president to encourage unions to gain membership. That's private sector, not public.

It's impossible to bring back all the industry we've lost in four years. Why you think that's possible is beyond me.

Actually the govt passes laws which affect union membership levels like taft hartley or right to work.

Like I said, it's not the government's job to increase union membership.

If unionizing meant a stronger economy and higher profits companies would be starting unions for their workers. Once again you're demonstrating you don't know how things work. You jyst want what you want.

If things are better for companies then workers have jobs. Unions are fine if you want to negotiate for better deals. Unions aren't there to run everything.

Not talking about what is hammered out in contracts. Talking about the day to day running of the business. Workers don't get to vote on how everyone is done nor should they.
