    Exploiter of slave labor?

    Ironic coming from a duck fan

    Are the Chinese being kept in internment camps and forced to make duck shirts before they expire from exhaustion or are put onto trains heading to Treblinka?
    Yes

    WSJ had an editorial today on unions.

    Fastest growing unions are in federal and state government.

    Unions are declining in every other sector.

    Overall unions are down to 11.4% of the population.

    Do we really need the union protecting our federal government employees from being over worked?

    I remember hearing/reading back in high school or college, or maybe I made it up, unions prevented America from transforming to a communist or heavy socialist slant. Gave the workers a voice and allowed a balance that prevented an uprising.

    Unions served a purpose, they provided a voice for the working man. But, no longer needed. Laws have changed, automation has become more advanced ... just not needed.

    We certainly don't need public sector unions ....

    Here's my union story.....I am forced to be in the union for my job so FYFMFE. I have no choice

    I have never asked for one thing....I don't go to meetings...I dontt care about bargaining....our benefits are awesome so why rock the boat.

    I put in paperwork in April for my job to be reclassified At the next round of negotiations (What I get paid is a joke...I look around and think WTF.) Anyways....I submitted the paperwork and was told "everything looks great."

    Fast forward to last week and I haven't heard anything....they won't say they lost the paperwork but won't give me an answer about why they won't fight for me. They have never forgotten to take a half days pay every month For dues though. I was livid and am still not sorry about the emails I sent.

    I get your employer doesn't value you as an employee and offers you shit benefits....that sucks. Well my union doesn't value me either and I pay them.

    Which is it? Good benefits our bad?

    By the way, it's still your choice to work for a union or not. This is a free country.

    It's funny the same people the day unions are terrible, we need free market, yet say they absolutely have to work for a union.

    As irritating as Honda is, it is entertaining to watch him make a complete fool of himself. Every single one of his responses, he continues to dig a deeper hole. Great stuff.
