al lewis | columnist: Where are the victims of unions?

http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_9582696

Are you being forced to pay union dues?

Do you hate unions? And the leftist political causes they support? Yet remain trapped in a job where you are required to pay union dues?

Are they taking your hard-earned money against your will?

Please call me at the phone number at the end of my column. I would like to write about you.

Amendment 47, the right-to-work initiative on Colorado's November ballot, will put an end to this horrible, horrible inequity.

Trouble is, I have yet to find anybody in this situation.

I am not saying these people don't exist. I'm just saying I have yet to meet them.

I have challenged several people who have written me in support of Amendment 47 to produce these victims. I also posted this request on my blog on June 3.

In two weeks, I've received only two responses. One was from someone clearly not in this situation. The other was from a woman who claimed to have endured this grueling oppression . . . um . . . back in 1957.

FULL story at link.

1. Hey, while we are on the subject of unions...
when is the national AFSCME going to endorse Obama? Gerald McEntee annoys me.

It will be a floor fight between Gerry and Bill Lucy.
