(1,068 posts)This is one key fact that we forget: the unions today do not just guarantee jobs and benefits. What is SIGNIFICANT is that we can help President Obama and our progressive Democrats transform this country from a horrific, GOP-sponsored capitalist, isolationist, repressive country to that of an environmentally-friendly, peaceful, progressively global society. What unions main goals are to ensure that pensions and existing jobs stay in place, so our union dues are used to help make this political and societal transformation possible.
With "right to work" policies coming into play, this THREATENS this peaceful, very-necessary transformation and allows the GOP to fester in its death throes. It's time to get medieval on these cretins' asses NOW and take them out, politically. Otherwise it will be more than tents we destroy. It's that simple.
