ACTION

Ok someone please explain this idiocy to me.  I had to drive up to Manchester, TN area today for work.  On my way through Fayetteville, there were about three factory type businesses and the workers were on strike.  I am not sure what type of businesses they were, but I am guessing they were some sort of manufacturer.

I do not understand how, in the United States, a union can say, "You must join us or you can not have this type of job."  Last I checked, that smacks of communism where you have to join the communist party to work.  Don't tell me I have to pay dues to some organization just so I can put food on my table for my kids and I.  As soon as you do, I am going to tell you exactly what you can do with your union membership card and I may just forcefully put it up your rectum with my size 13 boot myself.

But here is the idiocy of these people striking.  Almost half of all Americans are out of work.  I would be willing to bet everyone of you know at least one person who is out of work, has been for some time, is living on government handouts (not necessarily of their own choice but necessity), and wishes they could find a job.  These MORONS should be thankful to be working at all.  Everyone is hurting in this economy including corporations.  If you want to lose you job, go ahead and strike, and when your strike causes the company to fold, you can go home and tell you kids, "There won't be any Christmas presents this year because I was stupid."
