Firefighters... WTF!?!!?

Folks who get a union job AND join/ pay dues/ participate, then throw up thier hands and say "It aint me bud!" When the Union supports gun grabbers, or other anti freedom causes, they are simply part of the problem. If folks simply chose not to work for a union company how many union jobs would there really be? Cut off the funds, the unions go away. For those suggesting that all firefighters volunteer and refuse pay is the only alternative to the status qou then thay sheds some light on how firmly entrenched the current system is in everyones mind.

But shouldn't we start by requiring the government (local, state, and federal) doesn't favor union contracts? Try to get a non-union job in some areas of the country. IMO, right-to-work is a good start. Barring public sector unions would be a big win for citizens everywhere.

MOLON LABE, you forget that some states or municipalities have forced unionism. In others, it's all but legally forced. In fact, this is why Democrats fight Right-to-Work legislation so hard -- it threatens one of their major funding sources. It's also why they wanted card checks and fought against secret ballots when workers vote for/against forming a union.

This is true. So until no one will take a union job the unions are here to stay. Even in right to work states. I do agree though that right to work is a good way to assist in that endeavor but its the same with the .gov entitlement and wellfare programs. We can provide private sector alternatives, or try and convince folks to not accept them or sign up for them. In all honesty it probably wont work.
