Republicans manufacture a deal breaker

BY RON DZWONKOWSKI • FREE PRESS COLUMNIST • DECEMBER 13, 2008


It just grinds you, doesn't it?

I mean that a handful of senators from former Confederate states could so summarily sign a death warrant for the Michigan economy. A bunch of self-serving Republicans who will now go around blaming the United Auto Workers for killing the auto industry rescue plan.
Convenient excuse for something they never had any intention of passing. It's just a coincidence, of course, that they all come from states with non-union auto plants owned by the foreign competitors of GM, Ford and Chrysler.

A former colleague who grew up in the Deep South once told me, "Where I come from, there's not much difference between union and Union Army."

2. I'm a union member who recently moved to a "right to work" state

so anyone who is not in my union can work jobs only union members can work in other states, whereas I can not work non-union jobs and I have to pay into the union based on my freelance money I've made on union projects.

I'm sick of this bs. Right to work means Right to get screwed. Right to be terminated without notice. etc.

Bring the southern anti-unionists into this century.

3. I used to work for AT&T in Virginia a right to work state

we were represented by the CWA. Out of around 35 employees we had one asshole that wouldn't join the Union he got all the benefits and wouldn't pay Union dues. He would say he doesn't need the Union they never did anything for him.
