The Great Fraud: Public Sector Bargaining Rights

[Geee]

Front Page Magazine:

Bloated, rapacious, violent public employee unions indifferent to the suffering and social decay to which they contribute have been eating Wisconsin and other states alive for decades.

They’re not giving up their elite status without a massive fight and they don’t care if they take the whole nation down with them into the abyss. But Americans are watching their allies, the Democrats, closely. Whatever their feelings on unions, Americans are disgusted by the absconding Wisconsin state senators who fled in order to deprive their Republican opposition of the quorum needed for passing legislation.

The backlash against this anti-democratic stunt and against the unions’ legalized thuggery continues to build. Wisconsinites want their elected officials to balance the books, but the spendthrift unions won’t allow that to happen. Outraged that they may finally be held to account for their many abuses, participants in the labor movement are outraged and using the seductive language of rights to defend the fat cat government worker unions.

Of course, rights have nothing to do with this, but try saying so to a union true-believer without losing your front teeth.
Propagandists for compulsory unionism do not admit that from at least the days of the Communist Manifesto reasonable people have quite properly viewed labor syndicates with suspicion and sometimes horror. In the 19th century, strikes were largely considered to be criminal acts and labor unions were viewed as “conspiracies in restraint of free trade” that threatened to tear the fabric of the republic apart.
