Congratulations Union America! You've finally won the battle for workers rights! And all it cost us along the way was:
1. Outsourcing of manufacturing to third world countries due to the prohibitive costs involved in paying union wages necessary in the U.S. Then blaming the problem on 'greedy corporations', when in fact it was the 'greedy unions' who priced themselves out of the market.
2. A record level of government regulation in every facet of business, further raising costs and hindering our ability to compete in foreign markets.
3. Billions of dollars donated to leftist political parties and PAC's who in turn raised taxes on businesses in order to pay for bloated social programs, further fucking our economy and tying up assets in a government black hole rather than being reinvested.
That's a nice mine yu gat theah........
....be a shame if it caught fire:
The United Mine Workers conducted a nationwide strike against Peabody Coal in 1993. Trumka was asked to respond to the possibility that some coal companies might hire permanent replacement workers.[8] He told the Associated Press in September 1993, "I'm saying if you strike a match and you put your finger in it, you're likely to get burned."[9] He also said, "That doesn't mean I'm threatening to burn you. That just means if you strike the match, and you put your finger in it, common sense will tell you it'll burn your finger. Common sense will tell you that in these strikes, that when you inject scabs, a number of things happen. And a confrontation is one of the potentials that can happen. Do I want it to happen? Absolutely not. Do I think it can happen? Yes, I think it can happen."[8] The Associated Press reported that he was not threatening violence, and noted that UMWA staff had spent "thousands of man hours trying to prevent anything from happening [...] to our members or by our members."[10]
That Nelson Mandella is a good boy, hooray for Marxistst terrorists.......
....almost forgot.....kill whitey.....
Besides his domestic labor activities, Trumka established an office that raised U.S. mineworker solidarity with the miners in South Africa while they were fighting apartheid.[11]
But bestest of all is the money shuffle........
.......win a prize if you can spot Jimmy Hoffa in the pizza
......or the foundation of that building....
Trumka's tenure as secretary-treasurer was not without controversy. In 1996, Teamsters president Ron Carey was locked in a tight reelection battle with James P. Hoffa, son of disappeared Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa and a long-time Teamsters union attorney. Hoffa was also out-raising Carey in funds by more than 4-to-1, but the Carey campaign was convinced it could win if the campaign could bypass the local leadership (which supported Hoffa) and get his message directly to Teamsters members.[16] Martin Davis, a Carey campaign consultant who owned The November Group (a direct-marketing company), allegedly contacted Trumka in the summer of 1996 and concocted a scheme whereby the Teamsters would donate $150,000 to the AFL-CIO for spurious get-out-the-vote efforts and the AFL-CIO would pay the same amount to Citizen Action (a liberal grassroots lobbying and organizing group).[16] Citizen Action would then pay $100,000 to The November Group, which would use the cash to finance Carey's direct marketing effort.[17][18][19] The alleged scheme was revealed on August 22, 1997, by a federal government official overseeing the Teamsters' election.[19][20] The federal government overturned Carey's successful reelection, and ordered a new election.[21] On November 17, 1997, a federal official disqualified Carey from seeking elective office in the union.[17] Carey was indicted on federal perjury charges in January 2001,[22] pleaded not guilty,[23] and was found not guilty on all charges on October 12, 2001.[24] Trumka invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during the government's grand jury investigation and a congressional panel, and was never charged with any crimes.[25][26][27]

I
I do believe in fact that is is trending warmer there. And will be for the foreseeable future.
I have no issue with the trade unions specifically (there’s corruption everywhere), and not even with the labor unions, though I think you are funding the lavish lifestyles of their leadership more than anything else.
AFGE and NFFE are a cancer on America. They sit on both sides of the table and negotiate against the American people, who have no advocate and no seat at the table. These unions are vast criminal organizations that are medically fused to the Democrat Party, and billions of dollars is pumped into the merry-go-round to find its way right back into Democrats war chest. That this is legal is unbelievable.
