Another example of working class americans destroying their way of life.

[shockey80]

Now that millions of working class americans have found their savior in trump. They have a big surprise heading their way.

There are many union workers who want all the benefits of a union for free. They love their union protection, pay, benefits, healthcare. They do not want to pay dues because unions do not agree with their political views or because their selfish.

They may get their wish. Trumps supreme court pick may be the deciding vote on the Right to Work case. What a great deal. All the union benefits and unions can not force you to pay dues. Wow!

If that happens, all i can say is congratulations. Don't be surprised if you show up at work one day and your union is gone. Nitwits.

The working people of america need a motto. I got it. Empower the rich. Empower the corporations. Long live the working people.

1. I have been working for 40 years.

During that time i have watched the american people turn their back on the labor movement. Thats like a priest turning his back on the bible.

The american people have no respect for the people of past generations who put their lives on the line for our dumb asses. We take everything for granted.

The working people of america deserve to lose everything. We have earned it.

2. So agree,

52 years of the same observation,watched the big change happen in the mid seventies when Nixon jammed wage freezes up the Union's back side,that seemed to be the start of the migration to the Rethugs. People love their Pay Checks and first dollar coverage for their Health and Welfare that we fought for in many a Contract Negotiation only to not turn their backs on support of their Unions and listen to the false rhetoric of the Rethugs accusing us of using their Dues for our personal gain. Attwater,Ailes,and Roger Stone were the masters of anti message and to be honest,millions bought this lie hook line and sinker.

3. I reserve my worst contempt for union leaders who betray their people

giving the reluctant members another feeble excuse not to pay dues.

However, when they don't join they should not get any nbenefits won by the union. None.

Some employers may try to circumvent this by paying non-union workers more.

I doubt many would try that.

I once explained that the extra pay in her check was the result of a union agreement and asked if she was going to give it back?

She did not. She did not "believe" in unions.

4. Trump is as delusional as his base. They live in an alter world. I do not intend to demean

anyone but watching and listening to these Trump supporters hail the confirmation of Trump's SCPTu=S pick as some kind of extraordinary achievement makes my head spin. A totally controlled GOP Congress and Mitch who denied President Obama his deserved SCOTUS choice is what happened Trump did nothing but nominate the person the Heritage folks told him.

AND they make all the excuses in the world for his accomplishing nothing else.

He lies, he scams, he flip-flops...and they love it!

5. People are just stupid sometimes. If there had been no unions, there wouldn't have

ever been any benefits for workers, and they'd get paid the minimum wage--if it existed.

If it didn't exist, employers would pay them as low an hourly wage as they possibly could.
