'Right to work' kills, those who pass such are murderers

Post Reply New Topic

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rate of workplace deaths is 52.9 percent higher in right-to-work states. That means dead bodies, corpses, and anyone who passes laws for this is a murderer because they know that it causes deaths.

As I said, the Right likes punishment, pain and violence... and as they think that the worship of a God that predestines people to Hell is what brought the great leap of progress out of darkness, this is to be expected. "Life is unfair", they like to say, and under their breath they add, "and may we make it more unfair still".

It seems to me that the same logic that apparently tells us that workers should not be required to pay union dues also tells us that corporate stock holders should not be required to use their share of company revenues for lobbying, campaign contributions or other political activities - and yet Republicans (and for that matter, Democrats) don't seem to be proposing such a law.

"Right to Work" prevents union administrators from requiring union membership for employment with one hand and "Black-Listing" people they don't like with the other, thus reducing or eliminating the frequency of union administrators blocking the people they don't like from obtaining all but the most menial of jobs.

"Right to Work" allows people whose religious convictions prohibit them from joining labor unions (Matthew 6:24; Luke 6:13) to be gainfully employed in a union environment, Thus reducing or eliminating union-sponsored religious discrimination in hiring.

"Right to Work" prevents union administrators from extorting money from non-union workers in exchange for the union's "protection", Thus reducing or eliminating many suspicious work-related accidents and deaths occurring to non-union workers in union environments.

The era of "Big Labor" is drawing to a close. Good riddance!

I am glad Right to Work passed, now if only the rest of the country could come aboard. I work for my EMPLOYER, not the UNION. Those who wish to form and join unions and pay dues have my full blessing, it is their constitutional right to associate freely, however, the right to associate also entails the right NOT to associate.

It boggles my mind that this was even up for discussion. If I do not wish to be represented by a union, why should I pay the union for the privilege? That would be like one of those big box membership club stores sending all Americans a bill every month and saying "we are the only grocer in town, and you have to pay us for the right to shop here, even if you go to the next town over to shop."

You can be friends with whoever you want, but you cannot force others to be your friends.

"Right to Work"

Perhaps the greatest lie ever foisted upon a naïve and easily duped public by the crony capitalists of the plutocracy.

This does not create a right to work--it creates a right to exploit. The statistics do not lie. Median hourly income in so-called "right to work" states are $3/hour lower than in states without such legislation.

According to the US Census bureau, four of of the five lowest ranking states by median household income (three year average) are right to work states. None of the top five are.

There are policy alternatives that could easily accommodate dissenters. In the Canadian public service, for example, dissenters are free to direct the employer to divert the amount of their union dues to a registered charity. Union membership and memership within the bargaining unit are separated--so a person is bound by the terms of their employment to the collective agreement, but can choose not to exercise membership in the union.

If the era of Big Labour is finished, then say hello to the return of the sweatshop.
