7. I'm not sure what that means

Mexican-Americans are anti-union or do you think they're just stupid, or both?

3. They are destroying their last chances for a decent wage, benefits and life. If the R's

gain full control they'll be wishing they were unionized. I guess they think they'll just go to HR and get things fixed. The ignorance in this country is absolutely appalling and so many of the citizens are so gullible and easy led by the nose for their own worst interests.

I feel sorry for the kids today. The flip side is hopefully they might be able to save it from the F'en mess the adults have made of it...

I know I'll be long dead before this place gets its act together again, if ever.

6. There are a few law firms specializing in preventing the spread of labor unions.

They charge a ton, but, hey, it's better than sharing it with your workers.

They brought in four translators from Chicago for their mostly Spanish speaking workforce?

I'm sure there was absolutely no kind of voter intimidation here.

I'm hoping I don't have to post that sarcasm thingy.
