What about the teachers union? LOL!
No offense, but it's kind of hard to imagine the teachers union being "thugs" and being violent. Uh-oh everyone, look out!!! All of those scary mean thug teachers are on the warpath!!! :lamo

you forget...I was a teacher for a decade so I am very familiar with teacher's union. and FWIW, it is usually the union bosses who are and hire thugs, not the rank and file members
Really? Do you have evidence of this? Somehow I doubt that teacher union "bosses" carry out crimes. You make it sound like the mafia or something.
One does not have to carry out the crime oneself to be a thug.
By that rule of thumb you're probably less violent if you belong to a union.
I can cite unions in America smashing private property and seizing hostages. can you support your claim here?
And exactly what crime or crimes are you referring to?

As the Michigan House voted inside to approve right-to-work legislation allowing workers to choose whether or not to join/fund unions as a condition of employment, protesters outside the state Capitol ambushed a tented information booth sponsored by the pro-right-to-work state chapter of Americans for Prosperity. Angry union mobsters were filmed cursing and screaming just before the attack.
One hurled an unidentified object at police officers. Another screamed at a citizen journalist filming the chaos: "Freedom of speech this, you f'n fascist a**hole!" Several peaceful AFP members and supporters were stomped on and punched while trapped under the tent as the labor operatives chanted: "This is what democracy looks like." Young Michigan conservative activist and YouTube entrepreneur Steven Crowder was beaten by at least two union assailants while trying to protect the tent and those inside....

cpwill, there are PLENTY of unions and union members who DO NOT do violence. You are just being a partisan hack and trying to apply certain instances of violence to ALL unions.
What - can I cite non-union people that smash private property and seize hostages?!? LOL! Open any newspaper and start reading ...I can cite unions in America smashing private property and seizing hostages. can you support your claim here?

What an interesting claim. Can you cite me doing so?
Yes, all of your posts insinuate that union members are violent.
That is the point you are trying to make, isn't it?
Comparable groups? I never mentioned that. I said "you're probably less violent if you belong to a union". Do you honestly believe ~12% of all violent crime in America is carried out by union members?!?No, can you support your claim that unions are less violent than comparable groups?
For example, could you demonstrate a higher level of violence coming from the Tea Party?
My claim is simply that unions are organizations built around coercion, and so that naturally leads to a greater tendency to accept forms of coercion that break the law. The sense of entitlement that many unions foster also leads to higher rates of violence, as it creates cognitive dissonance in instances where the good or service deemed entitled is not provided.
Comparable groups? I never mentioned that. I said "you're probably less violent if you belong to a union".
Sense of entitlement? Why?
Where is the coercion? It's called negotiations.
No more so than the businesses they work for.My claim is simply that unions are organizations built around coercion ... [snip]
Yeah, I'm sure every arrest record has an item that denotes union membership. LOL!:shrug: alright. on an individual basis then, can you demonstrate that?
