Boycott Right to Work States!
Why haven't the unions done this yet? Boycott products made by non-union firms in these states. Run a publicity campaign exposing the low pay and lack of benefits. Instead of putting out a long list of products or firms to avoid, concentrate on the worst offenders and states to make the boycott easy to follow and effective. The newly found awareness of economic disparity given to the unions on a silver platter at at a terrible cost by the Occupy movement should not be wasted. The fields are ready for harvest, the time is now, not 10 years from now.

4. you don't have to be a union worker
...to participate! That's the beauty of it!
So he wants everything not union-made to be boycotted but since there aren't enough union employees n American to make a dent he want non-union workers to boycott themselves.
That's a ****ing plan right there!

20. To the exclusion of the chinese importers, and mexican manufacturing?
or do you just like all of your cheap chinese and mexican junk too much to attack the root?
So those with "union blood" would rather attack fellow us workers than the real cause of their plight? I never believed those with "union blood" to be anti-American...maybe I should rethink that belief...

9. Good plan.
Show American workers that unions only look out for unions. That will bring any undecideds around when they're fired in a shitty economy because we suck at messaging and thought it would be a grand idea to hammer the people that least needed it.
The counter boycott of union made stuff will be the last nail in the coffin for unions in America. Wrong way to fight at the wrong time.
Running ads and an education campaign I could get behind. Crushing poor workers because they happen to not be in a union and from the wrong state I can't.

16. They moved
the shops right out from under us and sent them to "right to work for shit" states. This would be a way for us to fight back and weaken these union busting governors like Perry, without retribution on the people who participate in the boycott. Winsconsin was a start. It's time to go after ALL OF THEM and RESTORE THE MIDDLE CLASS!!!

37. If the "right to work" apologists
...are screaming, moaning and howling about this idea of a boycott... YOU KNOW IT'S A DAMN GOOD IDEA!!! UNIONS WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
I'm a right-to-work apologist and I think the idea of unionworks suck-starting a .357 is a bad idea!

Yeah, DUmmies--you go right ahead and boycott those right-to-work states. But consider the fact that not everyone in a "closed shop" state belongs to a union.
What then? Are you going to boycott EVERY business that utilizes non-union labor? Guess that means you won't be staying at Nancy Pelosi's hotel or vineyard anytime soon, either.
Think about it, DUmmies.

I have a better plan. What if right to work states stopped selling their non-union made products to forced union states?

Thats asking too much from people that believe a Union's theft of their wages is a good thing.

Will they boycott products made by companies that have both union and non-union shops also?

Winsconsin? One of Obama's extra 7 states or the result so many of years of being told what to think by his union?

Way to go there Rommel you'll have them on their knees in say 20 or 30 years.

That was pretty funny, unionworks waving his arms around like a loon: "COME ON COME ON COME ON PEOPLE!!! IT'S TIME!!!!!" As if a handful of loyalist union DUmp monkies can really cripple 1/2 our states.

18. And if you do that, then that state's economy suffers, along with the population of that state,
Both union and non-union. Then what?

19. Then the corporations in that state
... don't have as much money to give to union busting politicians, the unions get the sob's kicked out, the state goes union and the workers reap the benefits.
:rotf: Underpants gnomes.

Ah, but you would have to be a union member, and willing to boycott yourself out of a job for the sake of a union member to see any benefits.
Americans aren't as stupid as you unionistas think. That is why there are ever decreasing numbers of you.

Even public-sector unions (at least in NYS) are about 40% Republican. And most know that they--well, since I am a public-sector union member, we--are the problem and not the solution.

First, let me apologize for my mashed up words above. I should have proof read better.
That said, the public sector unions, Democrats, and one RINO in the Wisconsin State Senate screwed public-sector unions out of about 800 jobs last week in order to try and hurt governor Walker.
I heard some of the leaders from those unions tried to sway at least one Democrat to vote in favor of a bill that would have made our state mining laws less capricious, but that was not to be.
The mining company, who's name escapes me at present, said, "see ya!"

To Protest Hiring of Nonunion Help, Union Hires Nonunion Pickets
WASHINGTON—Billy Raye, a 51-year-old unemployed bike courier, is looking for work.
Fortunately for him, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters is seeking paid demonstrators to march and chant in its current picket line outside the McPherson Building, an office complex here where the council says work is being done with nonunion labor.
"For a lot of our members, it's really difficult to have them come out, either because of parking or something else," explains Vincente Garcia, a union representative who is supervising the picketing.
So instead, the union hires unemployed people at the minimum wage—$8.25 an hour—to walk picket lines. Mr. Raye says he's grateful for the work, even though he's not sure why he's doing it. "I could care less," he says. "I am being paid to march around and sound off."
Protest organizers and advocacy groups are reaping an unexpected benefit from continued high joblessness. With the national unemployment rate currently at 9.5%, an "endless supply" of the out-of-work, as well as retirees seeking extra income, are lining up to be paid demonstrators, says George Eisner, the union's director of organization. Extra feet help the union staff about 150 picket lines in the District of Columbia and Baltimore each day.

Yup--everyone's equally miserable.

Regarding Flagator's post above about the paid protesters: I would feel like the biggest douchebag stomping around and shrieking about something I know nothing about. I guess if you're the theatrical type and seriously need the money...still, I'd feel like an idiot and probably start laughing.

Please do boycott right-to-work states. I'll pay you to leave.

Uh, Idaho is a right to work state, Mr. Badass! Why don't ya drive on out here and give us the crap you spew! Gonna be a long ride home tryin' to drive, holdin' yer ass in yer hands!
These self entitled lazy muther ****ers just make my blood boil!!!

And STUPID! :hammer:
Virginia is a right to work state as well. Our unemployment rate usually runs 2-3% lower than the national average. The parts of the state with the highest unemployment? Western Virginia, where there are a lot of coal mines, and UNIONS!
Suck on that, DUmmies!
-
The DUmbasses still don't understand the whole concept of Right-to-Work. It gives the individual the choice of whether they join the union or not. It's fairly amusing when the subject of having to be individual and have some personal responsibility comes up with these people.

So what do they think of Obama's dedicated efforts towards killing the coal industry?
