"We must close union offices, confiscate their money and put their leaders in prison. We must reduce workers salaries and take away their right to strike" May 2, 1933 Adolf Hitler
Snyder - on MSNBC - just said that his new law is pro-union and helps unions.
When with the lies stop!

Obviously, you do not know that worker union dues never go to political contributions.
However if you own stock in a company, that company can contribute "your" dividends to a politician.
Dont depend on faux noose & heritage & koch for "facts"
and EXACTLY why is card-check "thuggery"?
Then where do the millions the SEUI and various teachers' unions funnel to DNC come from?
Thank you for trying to find the truth! These funds are from SEPARATE contributions to political action funds. NOT UNION DUES
Here is the SEIU political action contribution form
You can believe faux noose or, if you can,
read the legal compliance section from the SEIU form:

OUCH!
I fell into your trap - I let you change the subject!
DID YOU HAVE T HE GUTS TO READ THE SEIU DISCLOSURE
union money is peanuts compared to koch-adelson-heritage-afp etc and union member money fed into contributions is VOLUNTARY
If you own stock in the XYZ Corp, the president of XYZ Corp can take "your" earnings that could be "your" dividend money and give it to a candidate
You are right. From what I gather from article below, the list I previously posted is from the pacs and they are 'freely made donations' by members, However the real money $3.3 BILLION since 2005 THAT COMES FROM UNION DUES is reported separately to the Dept of Labor....spent on state and local, get out the vote, feed and transport 'protesters'...things like that. You know, politcal influence peddling.. I attach a very enlightening read/

3 more free trade agreements in 2011 after OWS started.
Trans Pacific well on its way.
Wake the fuck up. You dont have friends in DC. Thats why we occupy.
Showing up to coopt work groups for an entire year isnt radical change. Its not fighting corportism. Its not fighting the system. Its joining it.
Thats not what brings change. The Dem heaquarters in NYC is there if thats what you want: http://www.nydems.org/
I would assume you are there quite often. Which is fine. But stop trying to turn this into somehting that is the same thing as the last 150 years/
You are chasing your tail for a reason.
because I support D positions does not make me a D
I gather you support toilet postitions
Somebody sum this thing up for me. Does it ban unions or just make it so that nobody can be forced to join a union? Or something else?
It makes it that no one can be forced to join a union.
And that will kill them? Nobody voluntarily jons a union?
Stop the thuggery. Let individuals make their own choices.
If the individual wants to join the union, they can.
If they don't want to join, they shouldn't be forced to, PERIOD.
Honestly, I've only ever met one bona fide Republican in my life, and I've never met a bona fide Democrat, so... and I think that's true of most of America. We don't judge politicians as Dem/ Rep; we judge them as either good or bad. And 99% of them are really bad. We share the same ambivalence towards class distinctions.

Supression?
No, that would be FORCING people to belong to a union. Liberty dictates that the INDIVIDUAL chooses whether to belong to a union or not. And confiscating worker dues to throw at a political candidate the individual worker doesn't agree with is BS also.
No, I'm not ready to vote donkey. I'm ready to vote for INDIVIDUAL rights. That certainly isn't democrats today. And you can take your AFL-CIO "card check" thuggery and shove it too.
"card check" is like voter ID?
Card check is a union demand to know how someone votes (open voting), so union goons can intimdate people into voting a certain way.
really?
I thought it was where over 50% of the workers put down on paper that they wanted a union so they get to have one without going to a million corporate arm-twisting sessions. Talk about thugs, I've seen people paid off to lean hard on co-workers about the union so people your bullshit elsewhere. You see I've been through a few organizing campaigns, lying wasn't a good start on your part, asshole.
Nope. Card check is all about coercion and not having secret ballots, which open employees to retribution for their votes and intimidation to vote a certain way.
have you ever been to one of those company meetings when there was a union vote coming? now that's coercion, companies know that if people could just sign a card and not have to sit through those meetings being singled out by management, I've seen what happens to people who supported the union but lost the vote.
That's only true if you're the Kochs.
You do know that they are lying sacks of shit, don't you?

No one is forced to join the union, they are only required to pay their part of costs, just like taxes, God knows Bush did stuff I didn't like but I still had to pay taxes.
