How are they out to screw you? You have your job, just do it. What are you going to do....harass them?
At that point the union contract will be lost, and the remaining union workers (all the workers, actually) will likely see a reduction in wages and/or benefits.
If an immature, self-centered idea comes from someone's mind, it will be called immature. Sorry, bub.
Criticism from you and all the other hard line right wing anti-union people on here just proves how right I am.
And no, having served during the Vietnam War clearly doesn't make me a 15-20 years old. But thanks for the condescension.
Most of us aren't employers. Most of us are employees. We should be standing up for each other not leeching off each other.Then the only reason why you should be against employers doing the same is because you aren't one of them. If you want to be shameless, perhaps the most courtesy you could extend is to be completely honest.
1. We were talking about "scabs", as you called them and
2. I did re-read the OP. You know what I didn't see? Any reference to state employees.
no apology necessary
Spoken like a true union-buster. Congratulations for revealing your true self. If not belonging to a union is so great, why do they care that their fellow employees know it?

Where were state employees mentioned?
.Unrepresented said:I'm referencing right to work state employees who don't pay dues yet are covered by union protections due to federal laws in this specific instance
"Likely"??? So you're basing your entire opinion off something that may or may not happen? Do you have an instance of this actually happening or are you simply reaching here (I already know the answer)?
Gosh. It certainly couldn't be because Unions in this country have a strong history of harrassing, intimidating, attacking, vandalizing the property of, and generally targeting non-union workers....

Ahh, I get it - anybody who thinks unions are a good thing is a 'kid'. Given your positions on every other social issue, I guess I can hardly be surprised at your anti-union, pro management, pro scab position.
I'm not anti-Union. Nowhere near how the folks here think. At most I would be skeptical of the NEA (and its state affiliates) because of prior encounters in regard to other issues that a lot of times right-wingers view as a left-wing issue.
That being said, your attitude toward non-union workers is appallingly immature.
Well they may not be a kid per say.
But dependant on childish reasoning to make their case for continued support of the Unions ? Yea
and making life difficult for management, by insisting on things like decent working conditions, a decent wage, 40 hour work weeks, no child labor - all those things that management used scabs to avoid dealing with for years.
Again, I suspect feigned ignorance for this issue has surely been discussed a gazillion times... but for those that truly may not be able to figure it out on their own, if enough non-paying workers take union jobs then the union will lack the funds to sustain itself and die (or be voted into dissolution). At that point the union contract will be lost, and the remaining union workers (all the workers, actually) will likely see a reduction in wages and/or benefits.
It's just like paying income taxes... if a few people decide to just quit paying, even though they can afford to, and subsequently a sufficient number of others follow suit then government fails. Now while the conservatives probably like that scenario, sensible people know that things society depends on will fail too -- police, certain healthcare services, bridge/road repair, airline traffic control, banking controls, military, etc -- chaos.

I suggest you re-read the OP, because that is not the topic.:lol: so suddenly even though the topic was workers that come into a factory or workplace during a strike [...]
And another member of the Far Right checks in with his opinion. Can you guys just get together and select one spokesman? You are all parroting the same junk from the same anti-union sources.
I would agree, except you have this incredible self-centered viewpoint toward your fellow-workers. Not everyone is going to be part of the Union club, Jack. That doesnt give you the need to be a jerk and encourage threatening behavior, because they chose not to join a voluntary organization.
I am really enjoying your behavior in this thread juxtaposed with your sig. :lol:
