Again, I don’t make this stuff up. It appears that the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 770 has organized pot distribution shops and helped safe the retail……I mean medical dispensing stores, from being wiped out in the LA area and the union is organizing in other states to bring a quality and safe product to a town near you. The purpose comes from the article which states the union’s case:

“The union believes Prop D will secure those workers’ jobs, which provide relatively good wages and health (isn’t any type of smoking frowned upon and punishable under ObamaCare? ) benefits, by effectively weeding out (pun intended here?) hundreds of newer storefronts that have sprouted up in recent years.”

Isn’t the food union the ones that put Hostess out of business? And wasn’t Hostess considered a “munchie” food source? Seems to be a conflict here. I just wonder what is next. The Garment Union organizing suicide vest bombers maybe? After all, they should be compensated with wages, health and life insurances. Suicide bombing is a dangerous profession and needs organization, don’t you think? Lordy, lordy, lordy. This country sure is dumb.

Good article on the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) being stymied once again and just blowing things off. Just as Obama and his administration cronies feel they can ignore anything if they feel like it. Laws only exist to be ignored. Court rulings mean nothing if it goes against what they “feel”. Armed insurrection indeed. Since nothing else seems to curtail their mis-adventures, it appears patriots will have to do it the hard way. A future generation would never believe I lived in times like these.

The Illinois House (Democrats) want to pass measures that will take away increases in cost of living and make pensioners put in 2%–read 2 percent–towards their pensions. It appears that the unions will fight this as being un-constitutional. The gov. (also Democrat) also supports it but it doesn’t appear it can pass the Senate. Illinois, which has the worst financial rating of any state, wants to get out from under billions in red ink but the unions are there to block that idea. After all, it was the unions that got them where they are today and they are very happy with the status quo. Until bankruptcy sets in. Then they go to court to get their “due”. Something there about not getting blood out of rock at that point but you would have to have rational understanding for this realization to set in. The state will end up having a bankruptcy sale but who would want it. Read it here.

So what have we learned here? Evidently, nothing much. Unions were having a big fight in California to determine who would represent 45,000 members (and get dues worth $40 million annually) of the 300 Kaiser-Permanente hospitals and clinics. That is $889 paid per member in dues which means higher costs in healthcare for YOU! See, it’s all about dues money for the unions. Who cares what happens to budgets, businesses and economies. California will be following Illinois with that fire sale. Read the joke here.

Some states are beginning to see the light. Many states aren’t. I hope Va. never gets caught up in this boondoggle.

I know it sounds redundant but…….well….okay, it kinda is but that is what liberals are like. I know this will also make Wolverine cry some more, for his beloved city has become nothing more than another seat in the out house. The city is absolutely in its death throws and is another in a continuing line of dominoes, just waiting for the little push to fall over. It appears as a microcosm of what Greece is now. It isn’t the first and it won’t be the last. I am just wondering when the other shoe will fall. You know–the one where the US Government will first start to bail out the cities and then whole states with the money we don’t have. Why would the government do that? Well, because the unions are too big to allow to fail. Especially when they exist as a mindless army of lemmings awaiting the Piper’s call. But it’s okay because they don’t make cars in Detroit much anymore……we import them. You just have to wait for the dock strikes to be over if you need to buy one. Sorry, Yank.

Become unionized. Unless you have been living in a cave, everyone knows how the union hates Wal-Mart because it can’t sink its killing tentacles into the business. Things like steel industry, auto industry, garment industry, remember Hostess?, even the sports industry. The union spent 12 million dollars on Walker’s recall and lost. That was a lot of dues flushed down the toilet instead of taking less from its members. Now the union will picket Wal-Marts on its busiest day of the year because of “low wages and poor working conditions”. Sound familiar?

Here are the 2 statements that stuck out:

“OUR Walmart, which said it is no longer a subsidiary of the UFCW and is an unincorporated nonprofit association, said the protests aren’t about forming a union. Instead, the group is protesting alleged unfair labor practices, such as manager retaliation against OUR Walmart members in the form of schedule changes and employment termination, the group’s officials said. NLRB officials are also contacting the UFCW for its response, and will likely contact OUR Walmart. “

You got that? Then explain this:

“OUR Walmart is an independent organization of Walmart associates who have come together to call for changes at Walmart,” said Mary Pat Tift, who has worked at a Kenosha, Wis., Wal-Mart for 24 years. “We are raising our voices to try to create better jobs and a better company.”

Wal-Mart said OUR Walmart makes it clear on its website that it intends to call for union recognition. The UFCW has been involved in prior efforts to represent Wal-Mart workers.”

Something about “speak with forked tongue” comes to mind. Yup, the liberal assholes are running headlong to ruin this country just as fast as they can. Welcome to the 2nd term of Obama.

Got to love it. The question form the media to the Union Masters is: “Do you pay people to attend?” The answer “Of course not!” We just fine the snot out of them if they don’t!! Bloody hilarious.

The Union at Charlotte. I guess they are angry about something. Let’s see–the Dems are for unity. Unity is the essence of union. Unions are Democrats. Are these just oxymorons or plain old morons? I like the “Hugs for Thugs” booth idea myself.
