Good day all. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how Unions<\/a> are fighting to survive in the modern world. Unions are losing organization votes all over the country. Recently, one union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, (IAM), canceled a vote to organize a plant, claiming that workers threatened them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is a rather interesting turn of events in the history of unions and unionization in the United States. In the past, you would have the company owners threatening union organizers as well as hiring thugs to attack strikers. Essentially it was the business owners against the unions and their own employees. This time, the union is claiming that the employees were the ones making the threats. Here are a few details from Fox News:<\/p>\n

The union looking to organize workers at Boeing’s South Carolina plant has put its plans in a holding pattern, claiming workers are so opposed to signing up that they chased labor leaders off their porches at gunpoint.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"get<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that’s a switch isn’t it? Usually we hear about union \u201corganizers\u201d threatening people who are voting against them. Now the shoe is on the other foot as it were.<\/p>\n

The North Charleston plant, which opened in the right-to-work state four years ago and builds fuselages for 747s and 787s, employs about 7,500 workers. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers had been trying to build support for a vote this week on unionizing 3,175 production and maintenance workers, but called off the vote days before it was to happen.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"violinist\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As I’ve written before, unions aren’t doing very well in the private sector. Workers just don’t see any benefit to being in one, and they do see a lot of detriment, particularly in the political arena. The unions only support the hard left politicians who have been busily destroying the United States economy. The \u201cWorking Class\u201d is far better educated and informed these days and they can see just how destructive unions have become. The unions weren’t even able to organize a plant where the management invited them in<\/a> and did everything they could to help the union.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter speaking with Boeing workers who we were previously unable to reach, we\u2019ve determined now is not the right time for an election,\u201d union organizer Mike Evans said in a statement. \u201cAn atmosphere of threats, harassment and unprecedented political interference has intimidated workers to the point we don\u2019t believe a free and fair election is possible.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"wambulance\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This sounds like the standard union garbage they throw around when things don’t go their way. As you would expect, the union has gone running to Obama for help in forcing people to join the union.<\/p>\n

The union filed an unfair labor practice with the National Labor Relations Board in which it alleged that “two organizers were threatened at gunpoint and others reported hostile and near-violent confrontations,” according to a union press release.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"tin_foil_hat\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There seems to be a small problem with these accusations the IAM is throwing around. According to them, criminal actions took place, but there’s no record of any of the \u201cvictims\u201d calling the police.<\/p>\n

Boeing officials and elected leaders in the right-to-work state were dubious of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ claims of threats from employees, but said the union’s retreat does show employees don’t want to sign up.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why does Boeing and the politicians think that the Union is lying? As I mentioned, there have been no police reports files by the union thugs<\/i><\/span> organizers.<\/p>\n

A Charleston police spokesman said there have been no reports of organizers having guns pulled on them in the city. <\/i>“We haven’t heard of any such reports,” the spokesman. “If it happened, they didn’t call the police.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"holes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which makes a lot of people think that it didn’t happen, or didn’t happen the way the union thugs<\/i><\/span> leadership is claiming it happened. Now it is possible that the union thugs<\/i><\/span> organizers knocked on someone’s door and the resident might have had a pistol strapped on. Or, which I believe to be more likely, the union thugs<\/i><\/span> organizers started making threats towards the Boeing employees and that’s when they pulled a gun and ran them off. Considering just how violent unions can be ((Jimmy Hoffa wants to take out the Tea party<\/a>)), ((\u201cSo, you won\u2019t join the Union huh?\u201d<\/a>)) this isn’t at all surprising. There are other reasons the Boeing employees don’t want to have their paychecks looted by a union.<\/p>\n

According to a recent report by The Post and Courier of Charleston, Boeing Co. stated that the South Carolina plant\u2019s production and maintenance workers make an average of $20.59 an hour, which equals out to over $42,000 a year for a 40-hour work week. They also told the newspaper that there is a 1.9 percent pay increase scheduled for this fall.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"snoopy-happy-dance.jpeg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There it is. They don’t need a union. They are making a decent wage, and if Boeing can get more business, it means more work for the employees. That means overtime and more jobs. What does a union bring to the table? Flat wages, higher costs for Boeing and the company looking to move out of a union controlled area.<\/p>\n

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The day of the union is essentially over, they just haven’t figured out yet that no one wants them anymore. The only way people join a union these days is at the point of a gun, usually wielded by a government agency.<\/p>\n

Thatisall<\/p>\n
