Freedomstar's Rants

There is a war on to destroy unions in this country. Since the 1980s, big business has done its best to push American workers into minimum wage slaves without benefits. Workers are now faced with low paying jobs without any pensions, health care or other benefits. This has come about by propaganda aimed at destroying unions, which has led to a decline in them. Not satisfied with destroying private sector jobs, corporate America is now aimed at destroying the public sector jobs and unions of police, firefighters, teachers and other public employees. They claim these unions are too powerful and are special interests that hurt taxpayers. Which taxpayers? The rich and corporations of course.

We must stop these attacks and keep these jobs as they are. I agree some reform must happen, but people can’t allow the wages, pensions and benefits to disappear. This would lead to a further decline in the quality of life for Americans. Let’s face it, no one is going to put their life on the line or become a teacher for minimum wages and no benefits. We can’t allow these good paying jobs to disappear.
