Obama Signs Union-Pandering Executive Orders
Labor unions got the first big gift of the Obama administration today when president Obama signed a series of union-pandering executive orders aimed at keeping workers in the dark about their rights. President Bush signed an order that allowed unionized companies to post signs informing workers they were allowed to leave unions if they so chose. Barack Obama doesn’t think workers need to know anything about that and with the stroke of his pen — the signs came down.
Unions are truly loathsome organizations. They’re wholly owned subsidiaries of the left-wing of the democratic party. The goal of unions today is to amass as much power, money, and influence as possible by getting as many far-left politicians elected as possible.
Ron Gettlefinger who runs the UAW admitted the other day that Toyota actually pays their workers more than the unionized big three do. Since the UAW’s very existence is predicated on the need to get fair wages for workers, and Toyota is not unionized (and making a profit) then why do workers need the UAW? Guess what? They don’t.
The only people who need unions are unions. Union bosses wanna keep the coffers full so they can relax at their fancy resorts and play golf on their designer courses while bleeding companies dry. Unions are like parasites that suck the profitability out of businesses. The more people they can force into union enslavement the more money they can make off the dues.
The idea that a “strong middle class” means strong labor unions is total hogwash. That’s a narrative the far left has stuck to for years and is considered settled fact in the democratic party (just like global warming) but it’s all bullshit. President Bush had the opportunity of a lifetime to bust the UAW once and for all by letting the big three go bankrupt and he blew it.
The absolute holy grail for unions is the card check legislation currently winding it’s way through Congress. Unions are licking their collective lips waiting for Obama to put his Johnny Hancock on it. Then all it will take is a little intimidation to get the majority of workers at a company to sign a card saying they want a union and poof — they’re unionized! No more secret ballot. If you as a worker dare not sign the card…well let’s just say everyone knows where you live.
Today’s executive orders are only a warm-up lap for what’s coming — just wait and see.
