The real bottom line is, the national unions want their hands on the money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think it is just stupid economics for a government to approach economic management from a strand of thinking regarding unions as enemies.
Public unions are big money.
The unions claim the deck is stacked against them when it comes to labor laws, but the truth is many private and public sector workers are forced to pay union dues as a condition of their employment, yet they have little say in how the unions spend their money.
That's what unions do. They can get money, they can get support, they can get manpower.
What's going on in this country? Unions stand against those trends. We've got to somehow insulate the robust American economy from this global economy that seems to want to devour our standard of living.
Unions can play a valuable role in large organisations where it is difficult to talk to a thousand people. They can negotiate annual pay awards with management, represent grievance cases, and explain and advise on complicated changes in employment or pension law.
The big companies and their short-term bottom line rule this country.
The chief purpose of a union is to maximize the income of its members.
The bottom line is a record of ideas. The bottom line is a plan for how to get this country back on track. It's not about attendance - it's about goals and opportunity to move this nation forward.
Unions go hand-in-hand with a strong middle class.
