I wish NC allowed unions

[Aeroette]

Instead of this "right to work" crap.

1. With 'right to work' one should be able to go to any company and demand a job

because you have the right to work

2. Me too Aeroette. Right to work is one f'd up deal for workers. nt

3. Right to work states do not prohibit unions

The rules just make it much harder to form them and to organize workers. All the UPS delivery drivers in NC are Teamsters, for example.

4. No but they "strongly discourage" them, sometimes that means you lose your job...

with nothing more than a "see ya".

5. It is constitutional

but the Democratic Party has betrayed labor one too many times. They have no voice in the media either.

6. My Mom was a teacher and should have had a union to look out for her interests.

Instead, she worked long hours with incredibly low pay and very little respect. The repugs now even want to take away their professional association. It pisses me off.

7. NC does allow unions

Joining one can't be a condition of employment, but unions are permitted.

8. What difference does it make if unions are consitutional IF you lose your job attempting to form or

join one.

No, no one holds a knife to your throat threatening to cut you physically but there's no guarantee you'll have your job if your boss is anti-union and for some folks that crappy job means the difference between eating and starving, having a roof over your head or sleeping under a tree - well you get where I'm going.

11. Corporations used to murder union organizers so your argument is weak at best

Corporations love posts like yours.

12. Not weak, real.

Not saying I agree, just reporting what I see and hear from folks in my lil corner of the world.
