More anti-union crap

The January 5th edition of the New York Times featured a full-page ad by a group representing the 1% comparing American labor unions to the government of North Korea.  The ad was sponsored by “The Center for Union Facts,” and, as these things are done now, gives no clue as to who actually paid for the ad.
The ad was in support of the “Employee Rights Act,” to provide that union members would be required to vote every three years on whether to continue paying union dues.  
Actually, I could go for this provided all workers, including Wal-Mart employees, McDonald’s employees, the Mercedes plant in Alabama, hospital workers in Texas, fruit pickers in Washington, and every other worker in America had to vote every three years on whether or not he or she wanted a union.
Fair is fair, right?

  1. Right on! These people just keep inventing more crap so they can get even more from the workers in America. Greedy bastards! Don't fall for any of it, including the right to work garbage.
