3. Good grief but it needs help
I guess people don't like vacations, sick leave, workman's comp, minimum wage and they hate those child labor laws.

9. Not this again. "Unfavorable view" does not mean the same as "do not support"
Totally pointless.

13. When I voted "yes" was winning by a landslide. Went back and "No" was winning. Something is wrong

17. Looks like it's being script-stuffed. Maybe it doesn't have protection for multiple votes. -nt

15. Its Being Freeped a Lot
Looks like their last poll wasn't so bad.
Most respondents either didn't vote for Walker, or regretted voting for him.

19. I have a *very* favorable view of the original purpose of unions
Edited on Thu Feb-24-11 12:34 PM by Bardley
and that is, support of wage and benefits, PERIOD

but many modern unions, such as service union, actually support glutting of the labor market, because there is a conflict of interest in ethnic immigration interests vs pure wage strength. and i have nothing against ethnic immigration interests except when it conflicts with wage strength interests of union members - what are you paying the dues for?!?!?!

and the AFL-CIO was willing to support an increase in H-1b visas in 2000

(AFL-CIO has flip flopped on this issue)

but back to the original purpose, it's absurd to state that working people are the only ones who have no right to organize - everything they face in opposition is organized to the hilt
