O.T. More interesting stuff
"RGrew176" wrote in message IN THE PAST decade, the AFL-CIO has lobbied Congress on three major issues of any importance to union members: (1) Oppose the North American Free Trade Agreement; (2) Oppose permanent normal trade relations with China; (3) Support drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The unions lost every vote. Demonstrating his savvy political skills, the head of the AFL-CIO, John Sweeney, repeatedly throws the federation's support to political candidates who opposed labor on all three issues. ....What's strange is that the AFL-CIO keeps voting against blue-collar workers, too. Not so strange. High level union officials enjoy generous salaries, benefits, expense accounts, general hobnobbing, and living life in an atmosphere of power. Their objective is to preserve this status quo. To do this, their unions must remain "activist." Complacency among the rank and file is not acceptable. To keep the pot stirred, membership must remain convinced they are being continually defrauded or mistreated by big corporations and/or the government. This is where hacks like Harry come in, keeping the members misinformed and highly ****ed. Remember, people on the Democrat side do not want to *resolve* issues, they merely want to *own* the issues. |
