‘You’ve Got a Right to MF ’Em if You Want to’
A bitter, 17-month-old strike at the Brookline mines in Alabama, called by UMWA union bosses, has featured an array of disturbing violence captured on videotape.
Intimidation
With the media turning its focus on the Card Check Scam, voices from across the country are speaking out to oppose the unprecedented power grab by union bosses.
In the Houston Chronicle, Ronald Trowbridge writes about his experience being a teacher pressured to accept the dictates of the union bosses. The peer pressure and intimidation tactics union activists put upon their colleagues, and in some instances friends, is enormous. Trowbridge understands that:
If Congress passes the “card check” proposal, millions of non-union members will be stunned when even some of their friends turn on them. The pressure on employees to sign the cards will be intense, personal and traumatic.
It’s just one of many reasons members of Congress should vote “No” when the Big Labor power grab bill moves to the floor of the Congress.
