BOYCOTT OF ALL UNION COMPANIES!
There is a groundswell of anti union activity beginning to stir in America. The unions and progressive organizations have taken to forcing their will and agenda on the American People. Unions have taken to using violent rhetoric and physical actions to force America to give in to their obscene agenda of too much pay for too little work. Unions are willing to strike for their own selfish benefits, and at the same time cause hardships for Americans. Their blackmail tactics of striking and attacking business’ and personal residences is going to backfire and cause unions to dissolve and become extinct in America. Unions would be in a much better position fiscally, if they did not become a progressive party whore. Their pension funds would be in much better shape if the tens of millions of dollars stayed in the pension funds instead of using it politically.
A new tactic against progressive unions and organizations is presently taking shape. The sad part is that good corporations are going to take a huge hit because of the unions that have entered them and fed off them like a parasite. In turn, these unions are also feeding off the American People like parasites, causing higher taxes and the price for goods to be raised, all for the pay and pensions of the union worker.
The tactic that will take root at the grass roots level is a boycott of all companies that have union workers. If the unions think they are too powerful to be attacked, due to their using the solidarity of the misinformed union worker, then the unions will be taken down by causing the corporations to lose millions in revenue, causing major union worker layoffs. This will cause union revenue and membership to drop until a goal of a deceased union is met. There will be a choice; either unions accept lower wages and pensions or they are dissolved completely. They need to do their part in bringing back fiscal accountability to America. The unions are no longer for the working man and woman; they have metamorphosed into a progressive political machine with a much larger and evil agenda. The non union companies will receive our hard earned American dollars. As non union companies grow, the union companies will fall. This will be an end run, leading to the demise of unions and their fat, squealing leaders.
Union membership does not even come close to the amount of Patriotic Americans that are going to organize and strike against union companies and their workers. The unions have brought this on because of their violent arrogance and bully tactics. The time has come to turn the tables on these unions. Unfortunately, many good union workers will be caught in the wake of their union leaders misinforming them, and will go down with their union. Unions only know violent bully tactics; let us see how they handle an economic attack.
To all Patriotic People everywhere, it is time to research and see what companies you are doing business with, that are union. We then need to cancel all business with them and begin economic ties with non union companies.
In my case, I have AT&T. AT&T is one of the only unionized U.S. wireless companies, with about 42,000 AT&T Mobility employees represented by the Communications Workers of America. Trumpka says, the plan for AT&T to buy T Mobile, is good for the union; I will be changing my carrier as well as about 30 other people that I know that uses AT&T. If millions of Americans change carriers and dump AT&T, Trumpka can realize his worst nightmare. Trumpka will be the reason for losing union jobs.
This groundswell can turn into an economic tsunami against progressive union tyranny. For this to work, all Patriotic People need to do their part. This plan begins with one person, YOU.

I see you're getting the usual substantive responses from the loony left. Congrats!
Isn't that, figuratively speaking, what Gordon is doing for Tommy here?
"unions are also feeding off the American People like parasites"
Unions are the American people, jackass, or at least the ones who still have some defense against your corporate Pied Pipers. You, Tommy T, exemplify the very worst tendencies of the electorate in this country, but thankfully your kind are dying off. Enjoy the hey-day of white, middle aged, overly-entitled, reactionary fascist sentiment while it lasts, dipshit.
As a 40 year old gen x mother of 4 children, I am stunned at how much money union workers make, and the amount of their pensions that we (tax payers) fund. My very white husband put himself through college and paid off the last of his student loans 3 years ago. He is now unemployed. Mostly because his profession has now gone overseas and is done by workers from India and China. Although he worked for the private sector,he definitely is not what you refer to as a"corporate pied piper." Unions run amuck with financial abuse, and are killing this country. No one is giving us a $450,000 a year pension (as many public sector employees get) when we retire, or paying us 6 figures for collecting garbage. We just want to be able to send our white kids to college. I guess we don't deserve to be able support ourselves or our children because we're non-union, college educated and - here's the worst part....WHITE!!!

There are lot of white people in unions, just for starters. Secondly, those contracts that you decry were negotiated. One party is not responsible for a contact. Both parties negotiate and sign when they agree. Your comment is ignorant of the whole process. Race certainly has nothing to do with it.
You are calling on "all patriotic people everywhere" to organize to achieve a specific political result. You are calling on a "boycott", which is in essence a consumer strike. So basically, you espouse the use of a political/economic method that you want to deny your opponent. Do you ever think any of these silly statements out before you type them? The only thing that separates what you seek to do from an actual union is a charter. Organization is organization.
Progressives are severely misguided, if they think all Police and Fire Fighters are union. THEY ARE NOT!!! Unions seem to think they are more prevalent and powerful than they really are. The problem is, they throw tantrums and squeal like little pigs being ripped from their mother’s teats. They just scream louder than everyone else, but then again, these union protesters are being paid to be out in the streets and scream. These union members puff out their chest in defiance and use bully tactics to silence the opposition. Progressives living in unionized states, have the false comfort of thinking unions are entrenched everywhere, due to the amount of paid protesters they see in their state. They are not.
Unions have taken to an agenda of politics and have left the agenda of working for the American man and woman. Unions have become nothing but a progressive pawn in the progressive plan for changing America. When Obama said he is going to “Fundamentally” change America, it was through the funding provided by union dues, provided by Americans buying goods from unionized companies. Unions have allowed their member’s dues to be used for political agenda gains, instead of being used for the union member’s pensions and benefits. The reason why the unions are throwing tantrums today and Democrat Senators are running away and shirking their sworn duties, is that they never expected November 2010. Attacking unions is a direct assault on the Democrat source of political funding and every union vote for a progressive politician.
Americans, in buying goods from unionized companies, are allowing union members to have a paycheck to pay their union dues. These union dues, in turn, are being paid to their union leaders. The union leaders then misuse these dues to pay for re-election campaigns for progressive politicians. The source of union funds and progressive funds is, in reality, the American People. When that source dries up, the river of corrupt unions and politicians will dry up and blow away in the wind.
I just do not get why progressives riot, protest, boycott and scream like animals for their entitlements, and then cry foul when non union people want to boycott and protest. At least we do it civilly.
We can use the progressive tactics to fight progressives themselves. We will boycott union companies and maybe we should begin to plan to use their organizational methods of attacking, peacefully of course, Piven, Trumka, Andy Stern, Cass Sunstein, Louis Farrakhan, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, George Soros, Van Jones etc., at their own personal homes. Americans can storm Washington DC, in the name of Freedom, to oust a tyrannical administration, peacefully of course. Hey, the military can even step in to protect us from a progressive evil opposition. I know progressives would all be for this idea, according to how they loved it in the Middle East.
Hey progressives, just stop the childish, pathetic and hypocritical behavior. You are not the only ones that can use these tactics. American Patriots can also use these tactics, but instead of violence, we will use the peaceful means of attacking you economically. Make no mistake about it, if progressives physically attack the wrong group, you will pay the price physically. That would be unfortunate, because Patriots of America are trying to be as peaceful as we can, unlike the unions. I said a long time ago, about the possibility of an American Civil War, let’s hope the progressives do not take it to that extreme.
If this plan, a union company boycott, becomes a national plan utilized by tens of millions of Americans, progressives will dry up and blow away in the wind, and it will have been done peacefully on our part.
Closed Shop Unionism--the prohibition of freedom to join or not to join a group
No wonder collectivists/parasites like BB, AD, PJ and others too humorous to mention favor the latter.
The Union Label
And If it has one
Then please burn
Your shirt
Is that how the song went?
If this was written in the spirit of the Colbert Report, my hat's off to you. If it wasn't, I should perhaps point out a thing or two:
The last figures I've been able to find state that, using net worth as a metric (because that's the LEAST polarized metric I can use), as of 2007 80% of the population was worth 15% of the money. The top 1% by itself was worth more than the bottom 80%. And that trend is growing more polarized, not less.
Unions are an attempt by some to keep all the money in this country from being sucked upward. Part of the Progressive Agenda is the same.
If you live in a gated community and would just as soon that most of the rest of the country was poor, this post makes a great deal of sense. Actually, even in that case, not all that much sense, because an awful lot of the businesses invested in by rich people will fail as most their customers run out of money.
You want to get rid of unions? Once they're gone, who exactly do you think will stand up for anyone not at the top? Got any ideas?
“The last figures I've been able to find state that, using net worth as a metric (because that's the LEAST polarized metric I can use), as of 2007 80% of the population was worth 15% of the money.

Are you including Soros, Gore and the many progressive organizational leaders, not to mention the meatheads in Hollywood? Socialists only seem to cry social equality when it does not include their own money. The day wealthy socialists’, now that is a real oxymoron, start practicing financial equality, I will be impressed. These socialist millionaires and billionaires, another oxymoron, must take up a nice piece of that top 1% pie. You work hard, you make money. You don’t work hard, you don’t eat. There are many immigrants that worked hard and made it up to where they are today. By your own terms, they have no right to be wealthy. Are you going to tell the Legal Mexican, Puerto Rican, African American, Arab, or wherever they are from, they have no right to live well off being a small business owner? Small business owners, by a socialist definition, fall into the wealthy status.
“Unions are an attempt by some to keep all the money in this country from being sucked upward. Part of the Progressive Agenda is the same.”
I came from a long line of Teamsters and was a teamster for many years. I saw the metamorphosis of the unions go from caring about the worker and dues being used for the worker’s security, to using dues for complete political agendas and backroom deals. They corrupted themselves beyond what they ever thought they could be. They made deals with employers to fire members, just so a family member could receive a job. Yeah, they sacrificed a hard working union member, just to give a job to friends or family. They forced members to give to a union’s political persuasion, whether you wanted to or not. Union members will never admit that they are coerced into doing the will of the union leaders, unless you want a bat across your forehead. These union leaders live a good life off the sweat of a member’s back. Seek the Truth; it will enlighten you to the reality of what unions have become. Union members, to the union leaders and politicians, are only one large puppet voting pool, they can suck from. Unions have become power crazed, money hungry and tyrannical organizations. There is no Freedom in unions.
“If you live in a gated community and would just as soon that most of the rest of the country was poor, this post makes a great deal of sense.

I am trying to make sense of your above statement. Where do you think these businesses will be under a socialist regime? They will be gone anyway. It is our right as Americans to boycott companies. It is our right as Americans to not subsidize America destroying union progressive organizations. If you want to keep those companies afloat, union members can shop there. Only the unionized companies would be boycotted. They would lose union members through attrition, as they lose business. In that tactic, they would have the right to lay off union members. In time, the unions would fail and the company can reorganize itself. Do you wonder why America is bankrupt and failing fiscal accountability? The union salaries, pensions and benefits are a huge reason for state bankruptcies. Unions will no longer blackmail their way into a company. The sad part is, some good companies and good union workers are going to take a hit, but according to how the unions and progressives are calling this war, such is the state of war. Collateral damage sucks, doesn’t it?
“You want to get rid of unions? Once they're gone, who exactly do you think will stand up for anyone not at the top? Got any ideas?”
Yeah, you will stand up for yourself. Work hard, show up on time, be proud of whatever you do and do your best at whatever you do. You will have a much more fulfilled life that way, instead of always griping about what you do not have. You would be surprised how far hard work and integrity will get you. If you are into socialism, you are not going to have anything anyway.
Margaret Thatcher said it very well. “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
You're a tiny-minded smear of irrelevance. If you would dare to take me on on this, or any political/economic subject, I'd finish grinding your empty-minded self into gelatinous spooze and not even have to draw a deep breath.
I say this knowing you're far too much a sniveling coward to make any attempt to expose your ignorance any more than you already do.
I don't think you have to use much of that low watt imagination of yours to figure out what I think of your opinion.
Cut the insult nonsense and think about what I said. First of all, whether, "progressive liberal unions and organizations think they are the only ones that can protest and boycott companies", or not is totally irrelevant in an adult discussion of this issue. The thrust of your point is about presuming ignorance and hypocrisy on the part of those with whom you disagree. Your solution is to do the exact same thing that you say should not be done. Unionism is about using the power of numbers in an organized manner. You are suggesting doing the same thing to oppose the doing of such a thing. Your point would have to be a bit more thought out to achieve hypocrisy. It is moronic.
Gordon Osmond, for his part, is a cowardly, hypocritical moron as well. He swoops in, calls people collectivists, while supporting a collectivist solution.
And as for whether or not all cops and firemen are union members, that is also beside the point. The chances are that they are in your location. And furthermore, those were just two examples. The point being that if you were to boycott "all union companies", as you stated, you would be digging for worms in your own backyard or something. I dont think you could get thru your normal day without it. Chances are good that the orderlies in your mental institution are union members.
Below is what small businesses received:
Wisconsin AFSCME 24 demands union support signs and threatens boycotts
You're a businessman that just wants to keep your head above water, focus on your customers and maintain the employees you have. You've decided the best thing is to stay out of the union battle going on at the State Capitol. The massive protests have died down, and although legislative action's still heated, you think the worst is over. It isn't.
This week, businesses around Wisconsin began getting letters urging them to place signs in their windows saying they support union workers. Wisconsin radio talk show host Jay Weber obtained a copy of a letter sent to Oak Grove, Wisconsin area businessmen who refused to cooperate:
“Monday, March 28, 2011
Dear Union Grove Area Business Owner/Manager:
It is unfortunate that you have chosen “not” to support public workers rights in Wisconsin. In recent weeks you have been offered a sign(s) by a public employee(s) who works in one of the state facilities in the Union Grove area. These signs simply said: This Business Supports Worker’s Rights”, a simple subtle and we feel non-controversial statement given the facts of the time.”
The letter goes on to explain that AFSCME employees haven't gotten a "good" raise since 1999, that they have offered to open negotiations, that they're doing their best to deal with those evil Republicans, but more importantly, that it would be in the best interest of the businessman to display union support signs, that neutrality isn't an option:
“With that we’d ask that you reconsider taking a sign and stance to support public employees in this community. Failure to do so will leave us no choice but do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means “no” to those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union members.
If you have questions or a desire to get off our boycott list, please call 878-4488 and leave a message or contact me. Thanks.

Sure, this is happening in Wisconsin, but it's meant to send a message to anyone anywhere that considers siding with taxpayers rather than AFSCME.
Hey Bill, get your f&^%ing head out of your ass and tell me what you think the union boycotts blackmailing small business’ is all about, you stupid asshole. Screw you, the game is on and unions will meet their demise or we will die trying. Crawl back to hell where you came from, you blind and deluded anti American idiot.
Live Free from Progressive Tyranny or Die Trying!!!!!
I am not in a union, but I am a service veteran, and a former cop. You say that I am "anti-American." Tell me two things. First, tell me how you served your country to such an extent that you have the authority to call me "anti-American" for my view that differs with yours. (Keep in mind that we live in a democratic republic, and differing viewpoints is the point of the structure of our American political system.) Second, tell me how you will reimburse the ten years that I gave to my country in public service. Tell me what qualifications or set of circumstances has anointed you with the special status of calling me "anti-American." Tell me Tommy T. I dont recall seeing you at any USMC reunions.

I, ____________, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
“I will never forget that I am an American, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.”
For some reason Bill, that oath just does not fit you, especially when it comes to defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. The Constitution is rapidly becoming less and less important to your party’s values.
“Second, tell me how you will reimburse the ten years that I gave to my country in public service. Tell me what qualifications or set of circumstances has anointed you with the special status of calling me "anti-American." Tell me Tommy T. I dont recall seeing you at any USMC reunions.”
There you go Bill, off on a tangent. Whenever you do not want to confront the facts, you completely change the subject. I do not think being a public employee, is something to brag about. I also refuse to believe you were ever in the Brotherhood. Du-Dit. If you were, OORAH! That sounds kind of wasted on you though. Did you notice your terminology of how you want to be reimbursed? My God, that is a typical phrase used by people that feel they are entitled. One becomes a Marine to protect and live for Freedom, not entitlements of reimbursements. I am Proud and will always be Proud to defend the Constitution and Freedom of America, the fulfillment I receive for that, is reimbursement enough.
BTW, I do not feel the need to puff out my chest with an egotistical fact of being in Nam. Coming back from Nam, for those that did come back; we were spit on and called disgusting terms. These were your liberal progressives back then; they are still at it, trying to destroy America. Every time I see or hear a liberal progressive, I think about the way Men of Honor were treated by your so called peace loving friends. Saying you are a Marine, does not make you a Marine. Bill, someone should know you are a Devil Dog from the actions of your heart, not the words from your lips.
