Default Unions-Now fully stocked up on crazy

The second "Bill of Rights" and the AFL/CIO madness. This gives unions a very bad name.

AFL-CIO Demands

Does Mr. Trumka have any idea where the money for his "demands" might come from? ........Errrr....I thought not. How can a "right" be that requires someone else to provide the means to exercise that right?

I had a deal like that once: full employment, a living wage, and complete health care. Then I left active duty.

I had socialized medicine once and then I left military service. As opposed to the welfare medicine my teabagger representative enjoys.

(Excerpt from article) "The idea of a Second Bill of Rights was inspired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1944 State of the Union address, which called for greater “economic rights” including employment through a living wage, collective bargaining, housing, education, medical care, among many things."

Yeah. Crazy! As Lohan-stink'n crazy as Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

I think certain members will post anything to have a thread title up they created that rails against unions, politically.

The Soviet Union had full employment, five-man cockpits, etc... doesn't really work in practice.

I'm pro-union in places that have a need for them, but can't believe someone in such a responsible, high-profile position would hurt his own cause like that!

I've been told that bush Jr and co-herts effectively bankrupted the US on purpose in order to destroy social security, Medicare etc. I mean, their rich boys, why should they have to suffer the demands of unions, veterans and others. It's kind of obvious when you look at the makeup of the so-called conservative party that they don't feel they should actually have to serve in the military or pay for the bailout of over seas corporate interest. Their a privileged group and for the most part have never worked a day in their lives.
