Unions and pro-worker lobby groups throwing their weight around and influencing legislation for personal gain = bad

CEO’s and pro-business lobby groups throwing their weight around and influencing legislation for personal gain = good?

It’s always great to watch a union be put in their place.

When did anti-union become popular. I remember as a kid people won cars on game shows and actually turned them down, because they were not union made.

Unions themselves are good. When people work together for a common cause, it benefits the members. That is, until they get greedy and begin having too much influence in law making. When unions lobby state governments to require union membership, it restricts freedom of choice and destroys liberty for those who choose not to join. Nobody should be forced to join to make a living.

It’s when the richest companies and individuals bought legislatures (especially in the South) to pass laws that made unions hard to form. It then advanced to those same folks buying media (newspapers, TV and radio stations, and cable channels) to spread anti union propaganda to Americans too lazy (yes–thats you!) to do their own independent thinking.

Its a FACT (get a book and look it up) that the largest percentage of Americans who were “middle class” was at the exact same time union membership was at its highest. We are now actually regressing toward the point where the “middle class” will be as extinct as the “two way” football player.

And history tells us what happens to a society when 1% own all the wealth and 99% get the scraps. (see France 1789, Russia 1917, Iran 1979, etc etc)

Since they outlived their usefulness

And who said the refs were dumb – LOL

Give jobs to people who want to work

Hire Officials FULL TIME.

NFL is so cheap sometimes.

Remember when the MLB Umpires thought they were “all that and a bag of chips”? How’d that work out for them?

Not even a valid comparison. That whole thing was over Bill Madlock and included mass resignations by the umpires.

A much much better example to look at is the 2009 NBA referee situation. Just like the NFL, they hired and trained replacements as leverage. Unfortunately the real refs would not cave the NBA were forced to actually use them. After a month of the worst officiated games ever seen the NBA gave up and made a deal with the union and sanity was restored.

For those who think too many flags are thrown NOW, wait until these scabs get into a game. You’ll be lucky to finish a game in 4 hours.
