Unions Are Threatening Members If They Do This

Unions controlled by Democratic bosses are threatening their members with not voting Republican. The Free Beacon reports:

The Pennsylvania Teamsters scolded its members for helping President Donald Trump capture the White House in 2016 and warned of dire consequences if they break from the union slate in 2018.

Union leadership sent out a newsletter to members in September calling on them to stick to the labor organization’s preferred slate of candidates in order to avoid doomsday. The legislative action alert led off with a photoshopped mushroom cloud warning of the “Total Annihilation Of Unions.”

“Face it, we screwed up by not voting or voting the wrong way,” the alert said. “Union members in the 2018 elections must support candidates who pledge to protect unions, your collective bargaining agreement, your pension and the working men and women, and who also commit to working across partisan lines to produce practical approaches to the challenges facing the country.”

The newsletter pointed to the Supreme Court’s June Janus decision, which overturned decades-old precedent allowing public-sector unions to collect fair share agency fees from nonmembers. It also warned of the spread of right-to-work laws in traditional labor strongholds.

This shows that bosses are loyal to the Democratic party and not its members – President Trump has done more for the American worker than any other President in recent history.

Isn’t this type of threating members ILLEGAL? This is the one of the big reasons that unions are beyond their usefulness and are now only a political movement to take the money of hard workers and put it in their pockets and to BUY off political favoritism and screw the workers and the companies.

Yes it’s illegal to try to tell members how to vote and they know this. one stands up and complains to the feds and shows the letter the union is in a world of poo.

I was a union member for many years and I voted for the union Democratic ticket many times until I finally got my brains unscrambled and started to see the that the Democratic Party is not the Party of HST or JFK any longer. It has now evolved into the Democratic Communist Party and it will say or do anything to obstruct the Trump Administration in any way it can. I became a Republican when I saw how the unions were using people for their own profit and schemes. After many years of being a Republican I realize more and more that a vote for a Democrat is a vote for Communism, it’s just as simple as that. GO TRUMP ! MAGA ! Sincerely, Martin Korab

This shows as I’ve always said the Unions are run by Socialists. What are the Union Bosses getting under the table to support the Democrats anyway? I once was in a union bu how can one support an entity that supports everything counter to what the Founders’ intended for this nation.

Unions were mostly responsible for loss of jobs in the US over the recent decades. Trump has recovered some of this with his work to renegotiate trade agreements. Do not botch the recovery by voting for a Democrat and destroying Trump’s work to Make America Great Again!

If I were a member of a union, this would empower me to vote for the Republicans. I may need to do it in silence but I would vote my conscience!

I learned about unions at early age. Graduated HS in 1947, worked in coal mine above ground from summer to November, Birthday and turned 18. Went underground, working on electrician -wire hanger crew as helper at $13.05 for 8 hour shift, portal to portal. After 6 months, with more areas opened, I became crew boss for one section of mine, with 3 helpers (all 30 to 40 years of age). My ears and eyesight better, and was more safety conscious. At end of year, John L. Lewis took coal miners out on strike, for higher wages, and safer working conditions. Brattish men, electricians, and belt workers, continued to work, keep mine safe, and make repairs, improvemwnts.
——Strike ended after a time, with all getting $1.00 a day raise, but I lost one helper off my crew. 3 of us now had to do what 4 had before, for $14.05. Big deal. Coal at tipple went from $4.00 a ton to $7.00 because workers got big raise. YEAH. That taught me, that all was relative. If we got more money, buyers (consumers) paid more for product, and Union Bosses got more money, and wore suits, and rode in large cars.
(In my lifetime, I worked in s4 major unions, and none of them did anything for me. I had to get my own jobs, and my work kept me employed. And I could have made more, by contracting my own work agreement. (Not to forget forced donations , since we were paid in cash, and there was always someone collecting $25 or more, for Widow Brown, or Smith, or someone, we never knew who or where? But if you did not donate, you did not continue working there.
—-1950, October I received my draft notice, same day I had enlisted, so went into Air Force, Korean Conflict. Expected to return to Ohio, and work when conflict ended, if still alive. But Air Force did more for me than I could ever have learned or done as civilian. Retired AF in 1976 with 26 years 18 days service, with 124 college credit hours, in varied disciplines. Taught Greeks and Turks, Canadians and National Guard, and primarily US Air Force personnel. Worked in Personnel, Administration, Avionics, Satellite Communications, Intelligence, Security, and really feel I made a difference, as did my peers. As Sergeant, I managed several different projects and missions, writing the standards, training subordinates, and improving communications systems we have now, using Digital and High Definition.
