THE OVER-REACH OF POWERFUL UNIONS TO BE FORCED ON US BY GOV'T WILL BE THE DEATH OF THIS COUNTRY AS WE KNOW IT!

     In my lifetime, I have experienced the effects of Unions versus Owners by being on both sides of the issue.
     It's not a pretty event in negotiations sometimes, as the differences can often become over-heated and testy on different views, as to how much an employee is paid, and how much they think they SHOULD be paid. The difference of points of view are always dependent on what side of the fence they're on.
     I came to the conclusion that, to be fair to all concerned, there will always be a need for "Compromise".
     In the private sector, "Compromise" most always ends up with a satisfactory solution to be ultimately enjoyed by all. (I learned there are valid reasons on both sides of the spectrum because if either side, allows the other side to go unchecked, Greed will overcome common sense.) 
     It's the "American Way!" But it's always done within the 'framework' of our sacred U.S. Constitution.
     However, there are times when the profits of a Company get to the point of "No return" on their investment. by not being financially able to agree with the Union's demands, they have to resort to protecting their initial investment by taking legal action to implement price raises of their initial product, bankruptcy, insolvency, or a non-union direction. (Competition in the market place between businesses, keeps limits on a company raising it's prices too high, and still compete! That's a good thing for the consumer, and on the Consumer's behalf, Gov't should restrict buyouts by one company of the competition in order to be free to charge what they please. They're called Franchises and Monopolies. Unions should be restricted from doing the same thing, in all fairness to the consumer as well.)
     The end result can be disastrous to both unless there is understanding and "Compromise".
     Whatever the case may be, the result is restricted generally to that particular employer and it's employees as life goes on in a generally successful system called "Capitalism".
     What isn't good for this Country for sure, is when Gov'ts get polluted with politics that take up the fight for one side or the other in a personal sense. Keeping themselves in office! EG; Lobbyists having a financial influence on politicians by contributing to the Politicians campaign or Party, in return for positive results in favor of the Financial Donor, should that Politician get elected or re-elected.
     If there aren't adequate laws already in place to prevent that happening, then our system has failed us, If there are, and they're still ignored, then it's our job to take the inadequate politician out of office and replace him or her with one who promises to represent us in a gov't "Of the People, By the People, and For the People". ( It keeps us consumers happy by preventing the tail from wagging the dog!)
     I point this out, because at the moment, and for the past 5+ years, we haven't had a Gov't whose  job it is, to remain impartial to Private Industry's affairs.
     For the purpose of their own financial affairs in getting re-elected, they forgot the Constitutional reasons they are there for. Or in this case, they got elected under false pretenses with their un-Constitutional, Idealistic ideas in mind all alone!!
     Whatever it is, there's one particular Branch of Gov't who certainly isn't there for the job of which it was intended; The National Labor Relations Board, or the NLRB. Whether they just plain forgot, or they knew all along, they would not be treating the workforce of this Nation as though all men are equal.
     Putting Homosexuality aside for the moment, (Or maybe I shouldn't) they have been going to bed with the Powerful International AFL-CIO and it's affiliates ever since Obama got into office!
     Right at this moment, they are heading the Unions away from the true Democracy and Republic this nation became so famous for, (The right to negotiate and Arbitrate through honest to goodness "Compromise") and into the arms of the United States Socialist Republic. THE USSR. (Coincidence??)
     A situation that Russia failed miserably at and resulting in the 50 year "Cold War". (Of course, the younger generation of College students weren't hardly born then, so don't realize what they're being led 'by the twisted ear' into believing now as we write.)
     Of course they're being led by example through the efforts of their President, Barack Hussein Obama who, although he accuses the Opposition that opposes his Anti-Constitutional behavior of refusing to "Compromise", has personally trained his Regime and the "Progressives"  who have never "Compromised" on anything since they arrived in office 5+ years ago. That's a FACT!
     There's one thing this Country cannot do though, and must stand fast at; As Barack Obama would like US to do, he wants us to "Compromise" on our U.S. Constitution, and we should never change anything that has allowed us to be the Leader of the modern world since 1776 and the War of Independence.
     Compromising with him only pulls us further away from it!
     Know what I mean, Vern?? Just sayin'.
