The Bill of Rights explicitly protects all rights NOT specified in
it.
(Read it.) The right to organize to advance one's POV, agenda, etc,
is a right essential to any democracy.

Have read it many, many times.

Then you obviously haven't been paying attention.

The BOR explicitly states that non-enumerated rights -- states' and
individual -- are not disparaged. The BOR protects rights -- it does
not
enumerate or proscribe them.

The right to form associations -- political or otherwise -- is a right
that
is inherent in democracy, and essential to it.

And please learn to spell coercive.

Ah, the spelling correction.
You can tell a person is grasping at straws when they have to point out
some little spelling error. The BOR still doesn't give you or any group
the right to blackmail a company.

I don't see forcing an non-human entity to behave in a "moral" fashion as
blackmail.

And I guess somehow the union is now the moral compass of the world. If
the company is so immoral, quit and start a more moral company. I guess
it comes down to, if you really think blackmail is moral just because
YOU like the end result, you are the immoral one.

Jim

Who is being blackmailed and specifically how? Or is this just more mud
slinging?

You don't understand the term?

I understand the term, but obviously you don't or you would be able to
specify the item the union threatened to "tell about."

Just to top it off, it appears that the union thugs in NYC have been
shaking down construction companies for illegal kick backs. Yep, real
moral giants there.

So what were the construction companies doing that opened them up to being
"blackmailed" (your term, not mine)? Sounds like two rotten organizations.
Yeah, wanting to do business in the city, that sure sounds bad to me.
So, those great moral union/mob boys needed to take a little of the
profit, off the books, to straighten things out for the workers.
You are such a union stooge it isn't even funny.

Jim

You still can't answer my specific questions about YOUR posts, so maybe you
should just quit.

You allude to many things and don't have a whit of facts to support them.

You don't even appear to know the meaning of blackmail.

Do you prefer the word extort or extortion?
What ever, you can pull out that Popeil pocket hair splitter you got for
Christmas all you want. It doesn't change the facts.
