hello america! let's start with the 'TRUTH'. unions are only good for those companies & markets that can support them. that being said, i just need you to name successful unionized companies. okay, that's a hard one to answer so, i'll ask you an easy one...can you name a unionized company that's either failing or has failed? it's amazing how many roll off your tongue.
well, with obama & the democrats pushing for unionized labor, you'll have quite a few more companies to name. they are trying to make it so easy for unions to form within any & all businesses with just a simple, public 'yes or no' vote---no more debates/no more meetings. &, intentional or not, their plans will wreck this country faster then anything else &, the union leaders will help anyway they can because it means more money & power for them---the hell with the country.
unions cause companies to raise prices, which are passed on to us-the consumer. they also cause companies to fold up or relocate overseas. this is how it works:::::::::
1...certain companies are targeted by the union leaders;
2...debates & meetings (as it is now) determine which way the company goes based on secret ballot;
3...once the company is unionized, the members pay dues to the union for various services, ie; collective bargaining (which is a fancy way of saying higher wages), a voice in washington, etc.
4...companies are forced to raise their prices to afford paying the union members, thus, charging you more for their goods & services...which in turn put the union member & company in a higher tax bracket.
let me break it down like this...if you take target, walmart, jc penny, sears, & costco & unionize them, i don't think you'd be shopping them as much as you now do. they would be forced to raise their prices & pass them on to the consumer. can you imagine what a pizza would cost if dominoes became unionized? or, if all the truckers became unionized? how about the taxi companies? wherever there's a union, prices are higher......please prove me wrong, please.
come on america, tell me we would be better of with mcdonalds & burger king unionized..bet you wouldn't find a dollar menu anymore. let long john silver go union & i'll bet you won't be eating there much, if at all. can you imagine going to wendy's or kfc if they join the union?
some of the above named companies would be forced to fold up or move overseas---they simply could not stay in business, &, moreso for those companies that depend on repeat customers. maybe you would be willing to sponsor beauticians & barbers unionizing.
you see what unions have done to the caterpillar plant obama visited. you see what they have done to the auto industry. &, you see what they are doing to all of professional sports. we have lost so much here because of unions. bethlehem steel, mac trucks just to name 2 of them. yes, corporate greed has played a big role.
yes, people need to earn more then what they are getting but, unionizing them is not the way. if we are to think that obama & the democrats are serious about upgrading the pay scale, why did they give us such a low minimum wage? they vote themselves 'cost-of-living' allowances & raises almost yearly & yet, have done so little for the minimum wage earner. &, their plans for unions don't help them. you look at our national minimum wage---you have to admit it's a joke.
unionizing the above named companies will flood the unemployment rolls because most of the companies can't or won't stay here.
america, you don't have to believe what i'm telling you---just do this to find out how wrong i am....the next time you have a plumbing or electrical problem in your home or business, call a licensed, unionized company to come out & fix it. before you hire them, call a licensed, non-unionized company to come out & fix it. compare the estimates---i'm willing to bet that the work will be the same but, the costs to you will be very different.
