It's been my experience that the real reason people join the union is that the unions have gotten so strong that there is no other way to get hired.

I can't understand why people can't see the upward spiral the unions have forced this country into.
Unions demand higher wages and benefits from the manufacturers. Those costs of production have to be paid for, so the producers pass the cost on to the consumers. Those people demand more pay in order to maintain their life style, the spiral continues being passed on and on. So producers in order to stay competitive export their production to those places with lower wages. Take a look at the plate in the drivers side door frame on your favorite Ford F 150. MADE IN MEXICO!

Thanks unions we can no longer make products that anyone can afford to buy! We'll soon be a bankrupt nation since we no longer are able to build anything anyone wants enough to pay the price we are forced to charge by the corrupt unions. Now they want ballots that they can see who voted against them, yeah sure, now they know exactly who to knee cap.
Why do you think our elections are by secret ballot, if not to protect the population from coercion?
It's time people, to wake up and see where the Pied Piper ( Obama and the unions ) are leading us.

If you are a small farmer or landscape contractor, can you afford to buy a tractor made in the USA or are you forced to buy one made in India, China, Korea, or some other third world country by sweat shop labor, and with none of the production control that we came to expect of those things made in the USA.

Start thinking with your brain, rather than your emotions, there is no free lunch, it has to be paid for by someone, ultimately by YOU!
