Yep and no one likes corruption no matter where it is initiated from. Like I have said many many times not all unions are corrupt. You have corrupt unions and you have corrupt politicians you have corrupt people in private corporations as well. You have corrupt people on wall st as well. It's just a fact there are corrupt people in this world,but that does not mean everyone is corrupt.

Yes, there are a lot of crooked people in unions, almost as many as in government. However there is a difference. The union thieves steal from the membership. The membership has a choice if they get robbed. We as citizens don't.

15D when come right down to it there has never been a perfect president. They are humans also, and there is no perfect human! What's your take on a presidents executive order? Have we gave a president to much power when he/she uses this? I think it was better when it went through the legislators and then went to the president for approve or veto.

and one in charge right thinks perfect he,s about the only that does

the corruption starts with greed , the lazy greedy types see a chance to make more money by taking advantage of a system. some unions suffer from the same problem this entire country suffers from. that being said I understand that with out a union or the chance of a union I would not have any benefits at work and most likely would be working for a very low wage. the choice to have a union is a right in this country and we should honor that right along with the rest of them.

Sorry Clayton that is just some right wing hack site.

Still pretty sickening that these corporations use cheap cheap slave labor and polluting their air all for the mighty buck. Bring the jobs back here where we have plenty of willing people to take those jobs and we can have at a few regulations so, we don't pollute the water and air but yet allow these companies to operate in this country. Time to get our feet back on the ground and worry about the good people of this country for a change.

I agree with this as it applies to private sector unions. However, when it comes to public sector unions it is we the citizens who get robbed from by the combination of a corrupt greedy union and politicians who are trying to buy votes.

I disagree with the notion that organizing labor is a right. Off the top of my head I cant think of any private sector jobs that should be exempt from allowing their employees the chance to organize as I cant think of any public sector jobs that should be allowed to organize.

I'm not alone in this line of thought. FDR was of the same opinion. The excesses of the public sector unions of just a few years ago in Wisconsin is a great example of why.

[ss12]

The whole problem with America is we are not organizing as a whole were as the corporations are organizing against us and the rest of the world through trade agreements. Its pretty sad when a corporation can sue a government because of something they did to protect its citizens but hurt the corporation's profit.

Yes, but can you name any employees that work for a more unscrupulous, corrupt employer and desperately need the protection of a union? Let's face it you and I are the government and we are a horrible employer. Every business that has a union, deserved one.

Do you realize, before public sector unions, every election came with wholesale job firings and hiring, right down to the garbage man. Nepotism was a way of life. This often failed miserably for citizen services.
