        Two of the things that mystify me: Poor people voting for Republicans; workers rejecting union representation. Back to the eternal question: why do people vote against their self-interest?

        Because race/creed/culture fears are stronger with working-class whites than is class solidarity. See also: Southern Strategy, the 50-year-old GOP effort where whites are convinced to cut rich folks' taxes as a way to cut programs they think help POC.

        the problem is not "unions" it is government unions that have a monopoly and do not have to compete. That is wrong, immoral and has totally destroyed Illinois.

        Very biased article which forgets you have a right to work without paying for that right. You also have a right to free speech & not paying for it either. You don’t have to be represented by a union for upward mobility cause that’s based on merit & performance.

        Some slick anti-union sentiment there, inferring that unions = people didn’t earn their positions based on merit. at most, unions require due process for firing - meaning the company needs to show they have cause. But that’s not true of every union.

        Also, people sign rep cards and vote for union representation at a particular shop. You can also vote the company /out/ of being a union shop the same way. Stop acting like workers have no power in union workplaces - the workers ARE the union.

        Union membership means we have a shot at fighting against stagnating wages. It means we have power to negotiate basic standards together, against a corporation that is bigger than one person. Proud to be Local 839.

        This case is for government unions, not unions in the private sector. It allows people to choose whether to join or not, not forced to have the job.

        You don't have to "join" a public sector union - you just have to pay the "fair share" fees that pay for the union to bargain for wages, healthcare, retirement, workplace conditions, etc on your behalf.

        You can bargain for yourself, the so called fair share has been proven to be inflated. Freedom to choose is a right, no one should have to pay for a job.

        It's an Op-Ed Column, not a reported story. That's why the fucking tweet says "Column."

        Shall I go through your tweets and look for the cuss words, Boris? Or should I just settle for your tacit admission that you either really don't know the difference between an opinion piece and a news story, or are just a dishonest would-be deflector?

        Without unions, we’re slaves to the big corporations.

        This is a dangerous power grab by corporations to weaken the rights of the people.
