Unionize everything, Nanny state everything, Nationalize everything, and let the drones serve the state.

Oh yeah, and let the drones progeny pay for it.

Mr. Sharpton:
Get familiar with the term “persona non grata”. Stick to subjects with a bit more familiarity.

How about the actions of union-busting firms that have been thuggery in the disguise of law firms? They have eviscerated the protections of the “secret ballot”.

No thank you, but keep those union-busting thugs in suits away from my town.

Union-busting is un-American in its current, coercive form.

The biggest complaint I have against unions is you have to pay them for the privilege to work somewhere. I would have no problem if the people who want to be members of a union as long as I had the same opportunity to work somewhere without having to be a member of the union.

My other complaint is they say the union dues are to provide you with really good benefits and protect the worker. Yet they have become too politically active. Using the dues to contribute to a candidate I may not agree with. As anyone with any sense can see if the UAW did not contribute to any political party they may have a little more money to pay for the benefits they promised their members.

Sharpton realizes that unions are colorblind — they only see green. It makes complete sense for him to be opposed to this. You know the first shops unions will go after are what they perceive as being filled with easily impressionable workers.

By ‘impressionable’ I mean, intimidated. By ‘intimidated’ I mean bullied.

He still has some survival instinct left.

I mean why would we want them opened up to this kind of possible coercion?

why indeed?

I look upon management and union as two sets of bullies who whip the stuffing out of the worker and share the spoils

Again, how is it possible that an employee can be forced into a union just because more than half of the people he works with vote for it? That has got to be a violation of his rights somehow.
And that’s not even going into the extortion an monopoly/trust aspect of unionization.

When ‘Rev.’ Al sinks his teeth into an issue, he never caves. See: The Tawana Brawley Hoax.

I’d much rather Al Sharpton and George McGovern be right for the “wrong” reasons than wrong for the “right” reasons.

Card Check is an enemy to an essential American liberty. If that means I have to share a stage with Sharpton to fight it, I’d rather hold my nose and go with Sharpton.

He moves even half of the Congressional Black Caucus towards him and the Employee Forced Choice Act won’t even pass the house, nevermind the Senate.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Card Check is an enemy to everyone, not just conservatives.

I think this is the second time in my life I’ve agreed with ‘Rev.’ Al on anything.

AAaak!

Al Sharpton: Yeah, well, what I don’t understand about it which is why I’m in the campaign is why wouldn’t those of us who support workers being protected, why would we not want their privacy protected. I mean why would we want them opened up to this kind of possible coercion?

Yeah, but for all the wrong reasons.

Watch the unions to see what lies in store for our Obamanation.

Unions started out with a “good cause”…migrated to socialist welfare…nanny unions…now CardCheck with its FASCIST taint.

Let’s roll.

You know this issue is a no-brainer when even a dope like Sharpton gets it.

Since the dummies are starting to catch on, maybe there’s actually a chance that those other famous idiots (a/k/a Congress) won’t pass this POS legislation.
