Do you know the History and where the RIGHT TO WORK law was started?

Do you know the History and where the RIGHT TO WORK law was started?

“From now on, white women and white men will be forced into organizations with black African apes whom they will have to call ‘brother’ or lose their jobs."

Unions

In order for unions to remain strong, we must remain united at the ballot box.

NAFTA FOOD FOR THOUGHT

NAFTA FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Supporters say

According to the Bush administration, the agreement has been "improving lives and reducing poverty in Mexico."

contributed to a 24% rise in Mexico's per capita income. "NAFTA gave us a big push," Vicente Fox, President of Mexico, tells Business Week. "It gave us jobs. It gave us knowledge, experience, technological transfer."

The accord has stimulated democratic reform and opened markets in Mexico



Detractors contend

The agreement has taken a toll on both U.S. and Mexican jobs, according to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS). While real wages for Mexican manufacturing workers declined 13.5%, more than half a million U.S. employees have entered government retraining programs after their companies moved production south of the border, says IPS.

The new study also found that NAFTA has been ineffective in stemming the tide of illegal Mexican immigrants entering the U.S. to find jobs. In fact, according to most estimates, the number of Mexicans working illegally in the U.S. surged to 4.8 million in 2000, more than twice the 1990 total.


The loss of many manufacturing employment can be attributed to U.S. manufacturers transplanting jobs to overseas locations.

Millwright decals

Pissed Off ::
I really irks me for a Union Hall to copy one of my Millwright custom made and copyrighted decals.
And to add insult..... They are RAT made!!! Not Union made ... No Union bug .... Who knows were they are made?

Please check your items that you get from your hall to see if they are UNION MADE?
Any Union hall that buys NON - - UNION made decals, Rat made or made in some foreign country should have there Charter revoked.
I really don't mind a Union Brother or Sister copying one of my decals. Pride in being Union is what I stand for.
Not A Union Hall buying RAT Decals. Throw the RATS SUPPORTERS out of the hall !!!!

Working Union People

Working Union People
The working union people of this country are an amazing lot. Against all odds, they will walk off their jobs and strike, enduring significant hardships sometimes for months or even years – and why? To protect future generations of workers - and to preserve elusive concepts like “dignity” and “respect.” The generosity of the American working class and their willingness to help others is downright awe- inspiring. We just keep on trying.

YOU COULD HAVE HEARD ANOTHER PIN DROP

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ONE BELOW..

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. 'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.' The American said, ''The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it. 'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !' The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.'You could have heard a pin drop.

Heard A Pin Drop

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?' A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: 'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how manydoes France have?'You could have heard a pin drop.

Employee Free Choice Act

A new Gallup Poll finds just over half of Americans, 53%, favoring a new law that would make it easier for labor unions to organize workers; 39% oppose it. This is a key issue at stake with the Employee Free Choice Act now being considered in Congress.

When in England , at a fairly large conference, Condi Rice was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building' by George Bush. She answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.'

Unemployment Benefits :

Unemployment Benefits :
I believe the federal law says.... If you work in two or more states.That you can draw against any state. But you have to physically go to that state and file in their local office...This can not be done over the phone. After you file then you can do it over the phone or online.
Also every year you need to open a new claim even if you are working.This way you the wages that you are now earning will go towards another benefit year.
