Some unions are good; some unions are bad.  There have been
times in my professional life I had wished I had the option
to join one.  As long as Unions are voluntary, I have no
issue with them.

I might add that the best way to increase conditions and
wages is a thriving economic that dries up the labor pool,
forcing employers to complete for employees.  We had than
under Trump.  Not with His Fraudulency.

Because I believe you are a Fascist, right out of the
pages of the Fascist manifesto.  You know, the Left
Wing pigs that believed they had perfected Marxist
Communism.

Here is where I see you going when you carry on about
the wages companies pay their employees, which by the
way, is none of your freaking business:

     We demand the nationalization of all (previous)
     associated industries (trusts).

     We demand a division of profits of all heavy
     industries.

Guess what Left Wing pigs that comes from?  Sound like
you?

Freedom, it is a scary thing to the anointed.

¡Viva la libertad, carajo!
