Why is it? is it because a bunch of republicans put a bill before congress that states that airline pilots for Fedex will earn $280 per hour? I think not! Instead we get a bunch of ditto-heads strutting around the AOC and changing the channel on every monitor to Faux News and screaming about how much tax they are paying. The same channel touted by the same republicans that are earning this big salary..that also talks about removing the union that gave them this big income. Too boot, they are typically former military pilots, who had $1 million spent on their training....so that they could turn around and walk in the door at Fedex and make that salary. The salary that is the result of TAX DOLLARS, since the training that allowed them to get the job at Fedex was paid for by tax payers!

Hello?

"Right to work" changes? This is rebuttlicken-speak for the removal of "agency shop". Agency shop is where people are required to pay dues. Since the union negotiates for EVERYONE, it stands to reason that EVERYONE should pay their damn dues. Dues don't amount to much, but if you don't have a union....your income is typically HALF!

Folks, I'm not about to let a bunch of republicans take away my collective bargaining rights, my salary, or my rights. These people HATE you; they consider you a "cost" and they will do anything [and I do mean ANYTHING] to reduce your cost!

Think. THINK!
