We have a couple of counties that have voted "right to work" laws for themselves, of which I think they have lost in court or they are still pending. The nasty old Republicans are now trying to push this bullshit down our throats, state wide. The judiciary committee held their session and voted today on right to work and the states prevailing wage law. If you're a Demoncrat reading this I wish I could say I'm sorry, but I'm not. I truly think you are a stupid, hypocritical fuck. A woman should have the right to choose if she wants to kill a baby. A man should have the right to choose if he wants to go to the women's bathroom and take a leak. You should be able to choose how and where you spend the welfare check (without accountability) provided to you by the tax payers.
Should we have the right to choose or not? I guess if all of your kick backs and reelection campaign funds comes from the unions the answer is no. "YOU GO NOW!!! NO RIGHT TO WORK FOR YOU" If you don't know what a right to work law is, it means that if you work in a union shop you don't have to join the union and pay dues. If you do, you get all the pay and security that the union provides all you have to do is make the fat cats fatter and build them golf courses and five star resorts (aka, reeducation camps). A right to work state simply means you don't have to join a union in order to work at that particular establishment. You show up on time, you do the same job as the union guys, you just don't pay the dues. If you look at my last post you'll see a pic of a "free" T-shirt. Only it's not free, somebody's dues paid for it. Just like union dues are funding the Demoncrat coffers.
Unions were needed before we had nine million labor laws on the books. Now, it's just legalized extortion. Get off my docks or show me the money. What you want a job making cars and trucks? Just cost you 2 1/2 hours of your pay per month. What does that get you? Not shit from what I've seen and heard. Unless you're a drunk or a lazy bastard. Pissing hot or failing a hair follicle test means nothing. Being part of a union is like having tenure as a teacher, you got to have an act of congress in order to be fired. Nothing but gospel.
The state has tried to go right to work before but we been governed by Demoncrats since God made ground. If we go right to work I really think the UAW along with the rest of the trash will be out of here. I can't wait. Here's the kicker. The UAW has already thought this though and has developed an educational program for their hourly workers. Just look at the letter below. There are more, tons more. If the nation went right to work and we lowered corporate taxes, put proper tariffs on imported products we would still have all of the jobs. The big nasty corporations wouldn't be able to work you ninety hours a week with 0 overtime because we have laws against it, etc, etc.......
Now our prevailing wage law means that if I own a bridge building business and the state is trying to save the ducks. They get this Ideal to build bridges for them, so I put in a bid for the contract. I get awarded the work, all of my employees working on that job must be at scale wage. My problem with that is minimum wage in south eastern KY isn't that bad. If you and the wife are working you can live rather good. The problem is and again what people don't understand is that when someone's wages go up, the price of everything goes up or quality goes down. Period. If my flagger was making 8 bucks an hour and because of this job site he now makes $16, I got news for, I'm not gonna loose money. Someone is going to pay for it. So raise the minimum wage all you want, you'll just pay more for everything else. Companies are not in business to loose money, it will get passed on. If I have to pay more, you have to pay more. The chick at the counter makes more, the guy that fills the gas tanks make more, the guy that sticks the tanks everyday makes more. You'll pay more.
Furthermore, I do not need somebody telling me how much to pay my employees. The market should decided. Not the government or the unions, not that one can tell them apart anymore. If I can't find a decent flagger at 8 bucks maybe I need to go up to eight or ten or whatever it takes to get the help. At least that way it the market deciding.
