The International and May Day Terrorism

"We need a union!'

The role of administration.

'You can't fire me! -- This is a right-to-work state!'

"You'll do everything...accounting, marketing, manufacturing...with no pay or benefits...and three years from now we'll trade you in for a newer, sexier model."

"But if you were a real boy you wouldn't be allowed to work such long hours."

"We'll take a 10% cut in benefits if you'll take a 10% cut in stock options."

Capitalism: Creates, Jobs & Wealth.

'Drop dead. Well that's good start to our negotiations.'

"Look - we'll whistle when it's fifteen dollars an hour."

'Boss, there's union guys out there organizing the robots.'

"The union is objecting to our 'grotesquely inflated' wages, do you think they'd settle for 'outrageously inflated' instead?"

'In this pyramid we are unionized. We don't accept more than 50 lashes per day.'

A worker is crossing a 'Labor Unions' Bridge - It is starting to come apart.

The Trans Pacific Partnership! Negotiated in Secret! No input from labor, consumer, or environmental organizations...

"Thank you for coming in on your day off, minion. It reflects well on your character." "I thought my job depended on it." "I don't know how you got that impression. I would never force you to come in on your day off. That would be illegal." "You said 'Come in on your day off. Your job depends on it.'" "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy... That's just a figure of speech." "You went on to say 'I mean it. That's not just a figure of speech.'" "That was a figure of speech too."

'Let's be fair and take a vote - how many here think we need a minimum wage increase?'

'The problem is, you don't take enough pride in your temporary, no benefit, below living wage job!'

"As a show of our commitment to your right to work, we're happy to offer you a contract that meets all your demands."

'In other words, we want you to get paid like our union employees.'

"We located our factory in your country because there is no word for leisure in your language."

'The union card does it every time.'

"When given a choice, a lot of them prefer eternal torment over being stuck in a 9 to 5 job."

"A serf? We don't call you 'serfs' anymore. Nowadas we call you flexibly employed staff members!"

'We're unable to bring you the special report on the coalminers' strike because of the cameraman's strike.'

Ed Miliband

Labor abuse

Balance

Worker Bees bring in a union negotiator.

'Why do you want the union! I've never needed it, and I'm doing just fine!'

Right to work legislation strangles the unions.

'You can't vote to unionize- you're associates, not employees!'
