Unions or Right to Work.

     Unions certainly had a place in this country... Workers rights were horrendous. This was prevalent during the industrial revolution. At that time industries popped up shoving in as many workers as possible demanding hard work and crazy hours. In those times a family may run a farm. On that farm the entire family would have jobs... Kids may be up up at the break of dawn working and wouldnt attend school at times, like during harvest season for an example..  This same type of expectations fed in to the manufacturing sector. For new industries safety wasnt  addressed yet. This sometimes caused dangerous environments and sometimes put people in jeapordy of environmental illnesses. This along with unrealistic labor demands of all ages were a huge problem.

      Anyone who has had a business knows it takes a while to become profitable.. It was no difference then.  Many businesses faltered as profits grew..  Part in greed, part in fear, they looked for cheap labor. The greedy wanted more in their own pockets and the others felt they had to follow suit to compete. Unions came about in the mid 1800's fighting for workers rights.Through the 1900's most of these issues were addressed. Now we find that the unions are overly demanding making huge monies for themselves and taking their workers to unrealistic wages and benefits pushing many jobs over seas.

  The Right to Work?  You would think that would be part of living in a free country. But it isnt. The Unions have to get their cuts. They often incite worker hosilities and violence. Such as we are seeing now in Michigan. The right to work in many states came about in 1935 with the Wagner act. Now our President is insinuating a lack of intelligence for those who want the right to work.  He is aggresively supporting the unions in Michigan(after all the gave him millions of Dollars).

     Other signs the unions have out lived their purpose are in the news everyday.  In NY right after the Storm Sandy hit  utility crews picketed out of state utility workers leaving their neighbors and families without power for days. They demanded no non-union workers. Also clerks in California shut down the piers with the demand only union workers be hired.. This cost various americans $1 billion a day... Putting many individuals pay on hold, truckers who drove across country basically denied work.. How does this effect families and even the ability to afford Christmas for their kids.. Time to get rid of unions.. There are plenty of lawyers out there for when our rights are violated.
