We had this in the UK, under that evil woman Thatcher. We have still not yet properly got rid of it.

The purpose of these laws is to reduce union funding, so that capital may the more readily exploit labour. They are a war on workers and the rights of workers.

What Old Guy and Doug R will achieve by their apparent aims is to reduce the American worker to the slave wages and miserable status of the workers in Africa, India, and the far East, to force each American worker to cut his co-worker's throat to survive.

The "trickle down" economics aka Reaganomics the two little hitlers above espouse are a myth. The rich get richer, and the poor are ground further into the dirt.

By all means rid the world (unions and capital alike) of corruption, if you can. But don't make it an excuse to disenfranchise the worker. Remember the murders by the bosses in the American mining strikes. Go, even, and read the words of "The Miners' Lifeguard".

In England we remember the Tolpuddle Martyrs - executed and transported for starting collective action for the commoner, while the collective action by the bosses went unpunished.

Someone make me a Molotov cocktail please. I am starting to feel the need to take the war to the oppressors.
