Force Unionization

In the days that the so called Progressives or as I call them "Regressives" are now trying their hand at forcing Unionization on the American people thought the vehicle of Card Check, it amazes me that they keep trying the old school regressive attitude that Unions are the only way.
As a child I remember the many strikes, when my father worked for Lockheed Aircraft in Burbank, California. As he was paid to stand a picket line for smaller per hour wages than than it he was working for the company. The pain of of the family trying to cope with him finding a part time employer willing to hire him for what could be only a few months, while the strike was deadlocked. It always seem sad that these union bosses pick the Holiday season to announced a strike. It was very certain in my mind that certainly their children would not suffer as my family did when the strike was on. They never had to worry about their mortgages or paying the electric bill or putting food on their table.

When the strike was over My father never made the money back in lost wages and time by striking the company. It embitter him towards the Union and he nearly hated them more than the company. My father loved Lockheed and enjoyed his time there, the Machinist Union, not so much.

As I was growing up I became aware that when I when to union get togethers amnd it seem the only ones that never suffer were the union bosses, and it also occurred to me that this was a racket. The union bosses always seem to do better than the union workers. A class system in a place that was suppose to be classless and it seems to go on even today.

What Regressives and some liberals would like is a return to yesteryear where a few very wealthy barons control, oh so little or resources. Unions at that time became a necccesasy evil in order to protect in some industries workers rights.

However, as society progress and as we become far more sophisticated, unions are becoming obsolete. Very much like the Model T. Individual rights is what has replace it, in modern society. However there is some that feel that there only way to progress is in the Unions. Union have become a relic of the past and most Americans see them as such.
The Democrat party seem to have this close relationship with Unions like the AFL-CIO and Teamsters.

A needed outlet for money for corrupt unions is the Payback for the Obama Presidency is to increase membership in unions. From a small 19 percent Nationally they see they chance to force union membership by using Card check. Card check is the ticket, since they cannot win a non union shop honestly.

George McGovern who has always been a Champion for labor unions said this

“I’m concerned about a bill in Congress that would effectively eliminate an employee’s right to a private vote in deciding whether to join a union. It’s hard to believe that any politician would agree to a law denying millions of employees the right to a private vote."

It does to some including McGovern that the democratic party has abandon and turn their backs on democratic workplace elections. I’ve listened to all their arguments and reviewed the facts on both sides. The "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill would leave workers vulnerable to union-boss intimidation and make you pay the price in higher costs at supermarkets, Gas stations and Department stores and other industries.

With our economy already blasted with recession and nearly constant political agitation, attempts to "compromise" over forced unionism really could push our economy over the brink.

Former Bill Clinton top advisor Lanny Davis -- is now trying to broker a back-room deal that would result in more workers being corralled into forced unionism and under the thumb of the union bosses.
In fact, their scheme is no doubt a preemptive surrender to Big Labor.
And even worse, these foolish and destructive actions could end up helping pass the "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill outright.

As you know, the "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill denies workers a secret ballot when voting on whether or not they want to be part of a union. A firestorm of union intimidation would rain down upon literally millions of employees who would be shoved into union collectives and forced to pay union dues.
If passed, the Card Check Forced Unionism bill would vastly increase the forced-dues-funded power of the far left Big Labor bosses.
And giving union officials more coercive power over American workplaces and the economy is a prescription for economic disaster, just as it was near the beginning of the Great Depression. The inevitable results are skyrocketing unemployment, businesses destroyed, inflation, and worse.

But ending secret ballots is just the beginning of the evils of this legislation. Once workers are bullied into union ranks without even a secret ballot, union officials would make outrageous demands and -- a mere 90 days later -- Obama Administration bureaucrats will be empowered to step in and "solve the problem," ultimately imposing the terms and conditions of employment on the workers and companies.

With all that's at stake, it is inexcusable for companies to try to placate the union bosses and sell out hundreds of thousands of smaller ones, to say nothing of the millions of workers that would be affected.

Unions are in aspect a vehicle of the past and need to be stopped. It is time the Conservatives fight back against this type of socialism.
