Questions for all of you about unions, from a FORMER TEACHER.
Advertisements [?]
(1) Are all of you on board that unions are what brought us worker protections?

(2) Is there ANYONE HERE that doesn't understand the reasons why REPUBLICANS fight tooth and nail to destroy unions?

(3) Is there ANYONE HERE who thinks that the more concessions we give corporations the better off we'll be?

(4) Is there ANYONE HERE that is unaware that despite the constant eroding of unions (by request of corporations), and the tax breaks galore that corporations have been enjoying for decades, that the way they paid us WAS BY REMOVING JOBS FROM OUR COUNTRY AND MOVING THEM ABROAD, where they can pay almost nothing for labor?

(5) Does ANYONE HERE doubt that it's adding insult to injury that corporations have removed jobs to take them to countries where labor costs are almost nil, and then we are FORCED to buy the products manufactured abroad because NOTHING is manufactured here?

I would really like to hear some opinions on this.

I'm a former teacher, and have watched, HEARTBROKEN, the way that REPUBLICANS have gone after MY unions like piranhas after a piece of fresh meat.
