alp227 (23,140 posts) Poll: Californians gradually souring on unionsLOS ANGELES (AP) — California has long been a union stronghold, but voters in the reliably Democratic state are gradually taking a more negative view of organized labor, a poll released Friday suggested. The independent Field Poll said that by a narrow margin, more voters said unions do more harm than good, as opposed to those who see organized labor as generally beneficial. The figures represent a turnaround from a 2011 Field survey, when more voters said unions resulted in more good than harm. The shift comes at a time of ongoing labor conflicts in the state and nation, often involving government employee pensions and retirement benefits. It also tracks a long-running national trend, in which support for labor unions has gradually slipped. full: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/poll-californians-gradually-souring-unions I think it's because of: - 30 years of post-union Reaganomics - NAFTA outsourcing former union manufacturing jobs to third world, non union nations - Younger people being "socially liberal, economically conservative" - And the negative headlines about the BART unions
snot (8,620 posts) 1. Concerning.I would have hoped that by now, the pendulum of public opinion were swinging back in favor of unions. What will it take for Dems to realize we must break conservatives' chokehold on traditional media?
DUmmies, we see it, every day. The stranglehold Unions have on this state. Pension plans, wages, out-of-control spending. ALL of it on the taxpayers dime, forced on us by a small percentage of the work force.
When you have public unions extorting at the point of the tax sword a far better living then those forced to finance them you have an issue you can`t win.
There's no extortion involved when public unions negotiate contracts with big blue cities.Union thugs sit on both sides of the table.
It's more like giving mutual reach-arounds.
We must take back NBC from Limbaugh...wait...
