All over the news for the
last year has been stories about food stamp cuts; minimum wage
increase, health insurance, and pay inequality. All of these things
should be talked about, but why does union organizing and the
benefits of unions get no time on the air? Unions would solve a lot
of these other problems with better pay, and health insurance for its
workers. The only time unions get mentioned is when they are brought
up negatively. The same old kinnard from the GOP about union dues.
We all know the reason why the GOP is trying to kill unions. Then
they have no one on the other side with any money to oppose them. A
perfect example of these GOP haters are Bob Corker a Republican
Senator from Tennessee who in my opinion lied about what Volkswagen
was going to do in the recent election to unionize the VW plant in
his state. He said he has been "assured"
that if workers at the Volkswagen AG plant in his hometown of
Chattanooga reject United Auto Worker representation, the company
will reward the plant with a new product to build.
The Governor of Tennessee
another Republican also threatened to with hold tax incentives to a
plant that was unionized. Mr. Corker should be made to tell who in
the company told him the story he put out. If he can't or won't he
should be expelled from the United States Senate. Then there is
Nikki Haley the Republican Governor of South Carolina who said "make
the unions understand full well that they are not needed, not wanted
and not welcome in the state of South Carolina” These people's only
concern is that they can keep the workers of their respective state
working for as little as possible, they do this to serve their
corporate masters. Workers don't mean anything to these people, and
any person who would turn away jobs because the employees might make
a decent living are beneath contempt.
