When Union employees feel they are not getting what they deserve they can strike

[Bandit]

When they strike, they shut the business down. If scabs are called in Union loyalist make life miserable for them. The Unions picket the business and refuse to support it.. IMO the ONLY way America is going to understand the people's needs must be met is to Strike... Shut the country down. If every trucker in the USA refused to drive, America would come to a screeching halt. There is no way Americans are going to have an armed revolution. That is some tea baggers wet dream..The US Government will always meet force with force and the Government can sure produce more force than the people.. The ONLY way to really get elected official's attention is to shut this country down..If all freight were to suddenly end, no gas deliveries, no food deliveries, no nothing delivered, it would take less than a week for Congress to get the picture..Nothing short of this is going to make any difference at all.. The people in Washington don't really give a darn about the people. They only care about their Power base and feathering their own nest...If the people truly want change, they are going to have to make that so evident even a Republican would have to acknowledge it... If every trucker would just stop trucking for a couple of weeks we might actually save this nation and get the people the treatment they deserve.. Stop trucking and block the highways with those trucks.. Congress would notice in a hurry..

1. This is not accurate for Airline Union Workers- The RLA

makes contracts amendable, they do not expire. Unions have to be released in order to strike. The National Mediation Board refuses to do their job most times, and negotiations go on for years before there is even talk of release.

Management doesn't have to do anything but drag their heels and let inflation eat away at wages.

That is why the pilots of American Airlines are working for 1992 wages.

I'd believe President Obama was a Democrat if he worked on abolishing the RLA.

2. Ever hear of wildcat strikes?

I think that's where the workers say, okay, whatever, union leaders who want to make nice with the establishment, we can strike without you.
