Over Reach by Labor Unions?
Feb 24th, 2010 by David Anderson
Labor Unions are no longer viewed favorably by most Americans according to a Pew Report. It appears that card check and other agenda items are playing poorly. Generations of good will seems to have been squandered in 3 short years by poor leadership. 6 in 10 Americans now believe that unions have too much power.
If I were conducting that poll I would have to add a question to the effect of:
Please rank the following terms by how closely you associate them with unions. (1 being the closest association 3 being the most distant)
Workers, Thugs, Politics
I have a feeling that for many Americans “workers” would not be the number 1 answer and that is the problem that unions have created for themselves.
Unions leaders rob from the poor (the membership) and give to the rich (themselves).
