Funny thing… FDR and even George Meany, you should know both right?.. said they were opposed to unions. Why?

The founders of the labor movement viewed unions as a vehicle to get workers more of the profits they help create. Government workers, however, don’t generate profits. They merely negotiate for more tax money

A.F.L.-C.I.O. Executive Council’s 1959 advice: “In terms of accepted collective bargaining procedures, government workers have no right beyond the authority to petition Congress — a right available to every citizen.”

Yes indeed.. that is why we have spy cameras on public streets…parking fees through the roof, $50 month tax on bars that have a dance floor, $142 dollar fines for a rolling right on red stop. The list is endless and it is growing…
