Well , that sure is a lot better than the way it sounded. I apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion. Thanks for clearing it up.

..

Your true meaning is crystal clear. This lib may not have agreed with his politics, but he was a good man who never compromised his ideals in a town where most aren't so diligent in matters of character.

don't be so damn sensitive....lol. And, if you must know, I wasnt around when the moron above left his comment. I don't spend HOURS here like some people.....LMAO.

just made my day. For some reason, I ended up with an image of a kid being dragged by the ear by his teacher to the principals office screaming, "Get your paws off me you damn dirty ape!" That cracks me up!

Right to Work Law.

Good morning Wis.

Right to work.

In the America system someone does a job for you they get paid.

Under Right to work laws employees do not have to pay unions after they negoicate with employers on their behalf.

Right to work laws prohibit agreements between trade unions and employees that make union membership or dues a condition for employement.

The result is weaker unions.

As a direct result pay goes down for union and nonunion employees.
(becouse employers do not have to compete with unions for employees)

What I see is the biggest issue is not pay but benifits.
Health care / Retirement.

With health care, because unions have a bigger labor pool the cost is lower for unions to give health care to members then small companies. (that is also why Starbucks can give health care to their employees and not the corner coffie shop, a larger labor pool)

Retirement
As union member ship has fallen in America the number of Americans with retirement plans has gone down.Also many companie retirement plans are being under funded United Airline (for example) or the money ripped off Wien Air Alaska.

This is not to say there is not a lot of bs that goes along with union.

Also I might note I have never been a member of a union
having worked for myself most of my life or non union.

Right to Work has nothing to do with Idaho's employment "at will" law. Idaho was an "at will" state before Right to Work and remained so afterward.

Right to Work laws prohibit collective bargaining contracts that include a "union security" clause under which every worker at a unionized site -- within 30 days of being employed -- must "join," i.e., start paying dues or fees to the union -- or be fired.

Idaho's Right to Work law makes it illegal to discriminate against and fire an individual for choosing to join or financially support a union -- reaffirming the protection found in federal law -- but adding the reverse, that no one could be discriminated against and fired for choosing NOT to join or financially support the union. Thus, the principle of individual freedom of choice was legally established, leaving the question to each individual employee without fear of reprisal regardless of which way he decided.

This issue was debated in Idaho continuously from 1977 through the ballot measure in 1986. It passed the Legislature in 1985 by overriding Dem Gov. John Evans' veto.

Right to Work opponents gathered enough signatures to put the question on the ballot of whether to keep the law. National unions spent $3 million against the law, while pro-Right to Work Idahoans spent $1 million supporting the law, including running the Charlton Heston TV spot from June through November.

boy I lit up the lights up with this one.

Dear toad

your arguement ingnores a few other issues. Like trade policies that make it impossible for American car companies to import cars into Japan China.

The fact that most of the imported cars are built by union labor BMW,VW, Mini's
ect.

Or the fact that Americans did not want to buy American made cars at any cost.

A good example today is the Smart car it is built by union labor is by no ways cheap and people are waiting in line for them.
