UNION BUSTING

Damned good idea.

Harold


But the Democrats are so beholden to unions that the unions will be
protected.

One of the largest unions in the US is the Service Workers Union,
IRRC..the union most government employees belong to. Liberal operated.
Which is why most government is overbudget, behind schedule and
incompetent.

The largest is the Teachers union, another Liberal operated
cluster****, which has resulted in several generations of kids unable to
read their diploma or balance a checkbook.

The third largest is the Trial Lawyers...whoops..not the third
largest..just the largest contributor to the Democrat Party...the same
people that have made the cost of doing business nearly impossible to
handle..and when coupled with Union #1.....
