How embarrassing to watch the rank-and-file union zombie puppets going through their recent orchestrated moves during Michigan’s “Right To Work” battle. Looks like the union leadership may end up with egg on their faces, and upper union management does not like a facial omelet.
As I mentioned in an earlier article, I live in a small town (though it is called a ‘city’) with a population just shy of 12,000. What is left of the downtown area has little to attract the retail shopper. We have three main grocery stores: one union and two non-union. The union store is near the center of what is left of the retail activity and has a non-union store on both edges of town. What does this have to do with “union mentality” (or lack of it)? Read on.
Only a few miles to the left of the union store (all three are on Main Street) is the newer of the non-union stores. This store has excellent prices that generally put the union store to shame. The store less than a mile to the right of the union store also has prices that attract a value-conscious shopper. THIS store has had union zombies (generally four) picketing for over three years. These robots have been standing on the public sidewalk in front of this store holding their silly signs so long that they have become invisible to the store’s shoppers.
I know a retired area union arbitrator who shops at this non-union store. I have asked him what the union point is. Even he cannot figure out the logic of wasting dues-payers money for pickets spanning over three years. If they had a point, it has been lost. If I was a member of this union (thank God I am not), I would be demanding to know why my money was being wasted on this little store in a Podunk town. The sad reality seems to be that most union dues-payers don’t question because they just want their paycheck, benefits, and retirement – and simply don’t want to rock the boat. How selfishly and sickeningly sad, from my perspective.
Want to hear an interesting twist? Many of those who have been picketing for the past three-plus years are union members who work for the “big” grocery store in town. Though most of the picketers are assigned from other areas, local folks recognize the faces of those who work for the “big” store. And it could appear as though the “big” store is trying to crush the “little” store, though that may not be the case (I have my doubts).
Want to hear an even jucier twist? The “big” store owns the little store a few miles to the left of them on Main Street. Is it simply coincidence that this non-union store has not been picketed for the past three-plus years while the non-union store to the right of the “big” store has? Only a moron (or an upper-level union goon management person) would answer “yes.” The sad fact seems to be that most of the low level dues-payers have no clue and could care less about how their dues are being wasted or how they are being manipulated. They simply do not know how ‘politics’ works and do not want to. Their union will look out for them.

These Dues-Paying Morons are controlled like puppets, the same as the average Democrat Voter. The Democrat Voter Looks to Government to Do For Them what they are too damned lazy to do for themselves. The Union Bosses do the same thing. They Tell Their Union Dues Payers that they are going to have all the perks and a big payout when they retire, and that this payout will last forever. In actuality, most of the Big Unions Bosses, steal most of the money and when the folks get ready to retire, many find themselves with nothing. Sounds like the Federal Government. People paid into Social Security for Decades being told that their money was in a Safe Trust and Invested and growing interest, when in reality, the U.S. Government Robbed the Social Security Trust about 3 or 4 decades ago, and they have continued to rob Social Security and are now paying out Benefits that folk worked by borrowing the money from foreign banks and then threatening the folks that Earned Their Social Security Retirement and Medicare that they are going to have to cut them out of the loop while funding Illegal Aliens with welfare, social security and healthcare as well as funding the legal U.S. citizen deadbeats on welfare who also get free health care. And when the politicians talk about cutting entitlements, the only So Called Entitlments they talk about Cutting are the Social Security Pensioners who are Elederly and are the Only Ones Being Cut, and they are not Entitlments to the Elderly, they Earned these Entilments Which Means They are Entitled to Receive Some of The Fruit from their Labors and Payments they entrusted ot the Federal Government’s Social Security Trust that we now find, Yu Cannot Trust This Government Made up of Corruted Politicians and Bureaucrats use the Public Trust as their own Personal Piggy Bank that they use to Buy Votes and Power and Money for Themselves. The ones not entitled to Tax Payers Money are The Deadbeats Who Never Work and the Illegal Invaders who have invade our country.
First of all , the union workers don’t have ANY say of where their dues are spent . If you say anything , you are black balled . That’s how the union works . All long as you pay your dues , they will ” look out ” for you . Now , where was Hussein when the union sent in their Brown Shirts that attacked a tent that had women and at least two people in a wheelchair and a hotdog seller ? They tore down the tent , and tried to fight a reporter from Fox News , and there were at least three other big news stations there , ABC , CBS and NBC . What did they say in the 6 o’clock news ? ” The union were not happy ” , and not nothing said about what they did to the people who were in the tent . NOT ONE THING ! And Hussein said that ” the right to work will lower what you are making right now ” . What the hell does that have when the union sends in thugs , and the so-called ” leader ” of the Free World , doesn’t even say anything about it ? But , if it was the Tea Party people there , you know he would have jumped on that like a cat !
