And I’d take it a step further and say those that can unionize do not have the right to vote.

Or, even further, anyone getting a government stipend of any kind (socialist security, medicare, etc.) dosn’t have a right to vote.

Hell. Let’s go all out. Only people owning property have the right to vote. Property can be defined very loosely. Own a tv? Ok. You can vote.

As opposed to a unionbusting organization such as named earlier in this thread?

Either way, there is no secret ballot. Perhaps if they weren’t stuck in the 1980’s, unions wouldn’t have to retaliate in such means.

Q: How can you tell if a union worker is dead?

A: If Vance International fired the shot on a “provocation”.

Unions have long outlived their usefullness and should be banned, much as other organized crime syndicates have been rooted out.

Ban unionbusters first.

The folks who obliterate the secret ballot by legal “dirty pool”. They turn it into “secret only if you vote no”.

Unions have long outlived their usefullness and should be banned, much as other organized crime syndicates have been rooted out.

Union members and union leaders are both un-American and anti-American.

Admaking looks just like some of McCain’s ads. I wonder if they’re done by the same peeps…

Healthcare. Nothing would make them happier than to eliminate the secret balloting so they can openly intimidate women. Control the nurses you control all healthcare.

And then nationalize it. Unions eventually kill their host industry, but it is much harder to make governments collapse. This is what is happening to CA–anybody really think the unions will pay for what they have done?

There is nothing wrong with workers organizing, if they choose

I beg to differ. A union is a monopoly. Same principle, same result. Only the stakeholders are different.
How ridiculous is it that the workers can vote to force all of their coworkers into a union. Imagine if all the gas stations got to vote to determine whether or not to fix gas prices.

Of course, one has to wonder if Rahm will be doing this out of the White House or back in the House. Did he officially resign from his House seat yet? Given the Blago stuff, one wonders how long it will be before OBama throws him under the bus, and Rahm has to go back to his old job (if it’s still there).

There might be a few Dems who wouldn’t vote for it. Blanche Lincoln is from Arkansas, home of Wal-Mart. She is up for re-election in 2010.

I wonder about the Montana guys, too. Westerners tend to be right-to-work. Tim Johnson of SD might not have been around for the first votes. SD has stolen jobs from MN because of low taxes and right-to-work laws.

Depend on how much Harry can control his majority.

RINO Specter is up in 2010 and might not vote for it. Union always votes Dem in PA, so no reason to pander. I don’t know if he’ll have a conservative challenger yet, but he won’t have Bush endorsing him this time around. Specter barely beat Toomey.

Without the assurance that Bush would veto, and Dems couldn’t override, some RINOS may have thought it was safe to vote for it. Now some may not want to be the tipping vote for cloture.
