Boeing's South Carolina employees run off Union organizers

I am actually elated after reading this. Unions are the socialists means of control over workers under the guise of "fairness".
Just another scheme to redistribute wealth and maintain control over a cowed populace. Kudos to the Boeing employees!!

After 18 years at my current job, the "union" bought off our governor and forced all state employees to become dues paying members. The gun that they pointed at our heads was "join or be fired".
Like I said, I had worked here for 18 years and now was going to be fired if I refused to join the union...not because of poor job performance...only if I didn't "pay" to keep my job.
With only a few years to retirement, I caved and paid their ransom. At least, I took the easy way out and pay only for that which is used to represent my interests. That fact requires the union to refund a portion of my dues, every year.
I can't think of the term for "de-unionizing" my job, but I'm ready to take the vote, when and if it comes up. Scott Walker...where are you when we need you?
As long as the area is 'at will', then unions can compete with free workers - and win if they can. It is when there is a closed shop that unions become frightening.

In any event, it is an interesting turn when union leaders, who historically have used violence or the threat of violence to intimidate workers, are now complaining about threats.
