How were they harrassing customers? I shopped in stores that were being protested against years ago many times; the protestors never even said a word to me.

In your example, the protestors agreed to work for the company initially...that doesn't mean they have to agree to those terms for all of eternity.

Where did I mention the democrats? Or "political parties" for that matter?

All I spoke of was how unions seek to set the terms of how the laborers' employers would be allowed to spend their own money.


You used the word "party". It appeared you were referring to the Dems, not the "party" unions represent.

Well that settles it. Corporations are all powerful and could never run out of money or be strained by an over-abundance of full-time personnel in the middle of a recession. Companies don't need to cut cost to survive nowadays because they're in no danger of shrinking and/or dying out. They could abide every single union demand without batting an eye because their resources are endless.

Thanks JLA! Now we know!
