        How people in unions voted for this fraud I will NEVER understand. As a public sector employee my union protects me and my job and advocates for my rights. They are about to be demolished. This will be the death blow to unions as we know them.

        If the Congress keeps allowing these injustices to continue (which they will if GOP majority) & we the people don't start marching daily/sit-ins/organizing then we can say goodbye to the weekend, ever being paid a living wage, or any vacation/leave benefits we have

        GOP has made no secret for years they believe that corporations will continue to give benefits, increase wages, keep workers safe, & not overwork their employees without regulation or unions. This is completely false. We only have the weekend becuz ppl DIED FOR IT.

        Totally agreed. The biggest swindle ever perpetuated on the American worker was convincing them that unions aren’t necessary

        It's insane to see the correlation between workers wages & the amount of unions. The more unions that were operating in the US the better income inequality was. Since their decline in the 70s to now income inequality has increased exponentially 😳😡

        $5.85 - that's how much the US minimum wage has increased sine '67. Yet... "The CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was 20-to-1 in 1965... and was 295.9-to-1 in 2013" http://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-pay-continues-to-rise/ …

        Incidents of union theft have forever ingrained the idea of them being crooked for some people & for others it is jealousy of union perks wages, wanting to tear them up rather than get a union job or see their son, mom, sister, brother get one. But high pay executives are okay.

        Now shareholders & executives are the only concern regarding distribution of capital, workers are seen as a necessary evil, a liability... when in fact workers are the foundation of any business & should be treated accordingly
