LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE TWIN TIERS...BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR I HOPE THAT THE TEACHERS AND OTHER PUBLIC EMPLOYEES UNIONS NO LONGER EXIST IN STATES LIKE WISCONSIN, NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, INDIANA, OHIO AND ELSEWHERE.

YOU SEE THE UNIONS ARE THE ENEMY OF WORKING MEN AND WOMEN. UNIONS DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE WORKERS. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT COLLECTING DUES FROM THE RANK AND FILE AND PERPETUATING THEIR OWN EXISTENCE. IN OTHER WORDS, UNIONS ARE PARASITES THAT LIVE OFF WORKERS...WORKERS WHO OFTEN HAVE NO CLUE THAT THEY ARE BEING SCAMMED.

ADDITIONALLY, UNIONS LIKE TO PROTECT LAZY WORKERS WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO WORK FOR A LIVING AND THIS GIVES HARD WORKING MEN AND WOMEN A BAD NAME. YES, LONG AGO...AT ONE TIME IN OUR HISTORY... UNIONS CARED ABOUT, PROTECTED, AND FOUGHT FOR THE WORKING MAN. BUT THAT'S BEFORE UNIONS IN AMERICA BECOME CORRUPT AND GREEDY AND OUT OF TOUCH WITH THEIR MEMBERS. I SAY DOWN WITH UNIONS.

WITH COMMENTARY...I'M YOUR PH.D. OF POLITICS AND HOST OF “COLEMAN AND COMPANY”...DR. STEPHEN COLEMAN...THAT'S MY OPINION...WHAT'S YOURS?

Dr.Coleman (Dr?) I have worked in both union and nonunion shops. I can tell by your comments that you have not had this "pleasure". Perhaps you are correct about "some" of the corruption that exists in the upper level unions today, but it is MY OPINION from many years (25)of experience without a union and then the last 10 years of my employment being unionized, that the union years far outweighed the early years. I was very disturbed by the lack of "voice" that the non-union worker has to endure. We would work our tails off, only to have upper management get a several thousand dollar bonus, while we were told, sorry no money for raises and oh yes, we need to eliminate several hard earned benifits. I was glad to pay the dues needed to have that representation that prevented such unilateral decisions. Also in the infrequent event that I would need to talk to management about an error, it was mighty nice to have that union rep sitting accross the table to help protect my rights. Now most of my association with a union was only at the local level, and that is run by the people, and for the people. Sound familiar? Many people don't realize all the good that the unions do and to have you willy nilly blasting them on public TV without having any first hand knowledge is just plan WRONG!!!!! I really resent the comment that union workers sit around and do nothing and make others (what others?) do the work. I worked 12 hour shifts with many a time no break time to eat or even "personal comfort" breaks. Sitting down was only to write notes and then only with multiple interruptions. I know many "public" employees who don't deserve to loose their representation. Unions are the working man's way of having a set of rules that both sides need to follow. Without them we are just asking to return to the 7 day/wk 16 hour shifts and why not enlist child labor again while we are at it. Hey, those little buggers have all kinds of energy and are willing to work for pennies on the dollar.
