How dare you have it better than me.

I hear this an awful lot.
"I have to pay my own health care premiums. What makes union workers think they deserve full paid healthcare?"
"I'll never be able to retire. What makes union workers think they deserve a pension?"
Will someone please figure out how to explain to these bozos that union workers think EVERYONE deserves decent benefits and a retirement with dignity?
Will someone please figure out how to explain to these bozos that union workers have always fought for EVERYONE, not just themselves?
Will someone please figure out how to explain to these bozos that they should be next to the union guy fighting for better benefits?
That is all.

32. what happens when we tax payers don't support worker's rights?
exactly....if you aren't selfish, you begin to see the value in a working class that CAN protect itself from selfishly blind business owners. I believe in a fair system... you don't. You'd rather unions not exist at all, and then what do workers do? What we pay in taxes for public infrastructure is being obviously ignored in your post. Since Unions have started losing strength in this country till now, we see a decline in the middle class and we see a decline in our economy as well.
". . . selfishly blind business owners" have jack shit to do with public unions, aside from funding them through taxes. I love it when dummies talk about fair. Fair is the equal application of the law. Fair is represented by the blindfolded statue with the scales. The DU version of the statue would have Clinton copping a feel and Jesse Jackson tilting the scales.Congrats on your first high five! :naughty:
Anyone send up the bobo signal?
She is homeless you know.

9. Tried to explain all this years ago and all everyone wanted to talk about was their non-union Hondas
Needless to say my Union didn't receive a lot of support around here.
Remember?

RE the OP: EVERYONE. Really? Doesn't fly, no matter how many dopey internet posts you make. Try being a salaried person in a union plant. Even a $22K lowly entry level accountant. They hate you and vilify you, sneer at you, and leer at you. "****in salary help" is how they refer to you. As if they're somehow victimized by you, while they bring down $85K per year. EVERYONE my ass.
When we moved to CA and my husband had to set up his office he decided to hang his pictures on the wall. He was told he had to call and make an appointment to have his pictures hung by the custodial dept. He called and waited...and waited (for days) then decided to do it himself. Someone must of seen him doing it because union picture hanger guy walked in as he was getting ready to hang them.
The guy got so mad at him, said "what, you wanna take food out of my kids mouths?". He then told my husband that he was not to put one nail in a wall or move anything himself that that was his job. He went on and on about it.
The only people I hear oozing with jealousy about what other people earn and own are liberals. I've never heard anyone remotely conservative complain about what someone else has. Go figure.
From my time at FoMoCo, we had to have a union electrician on hand to plug in printers and computers. We moved them around, set them up, and supported them, but if you touched an electrical outlet, you got a sermon from one of the brothers on the Godliness of the union and how we would all be wearing sackcloth and eating dirt if it wasn't for them. :whatever:

Yet, these union leaders can demand the pols give them pay raises with

I find it funny the same unions who helped Obama shove Obamacare down our throats all get a waiver from having to follow it. Yep those unions really are looking out for us. :mental:
