Thanks to the anti-Democrat left! Labor Unions dealt a major blow by SCOTUS

Every card carrying Deomcrats on this forum who follows Nap around dapping him up are perfect microcosms of what's wrong with the party.

Justice Kennedy, motherfukker. Eat shyt.

I warned you.

No one from the left ever brings up Benghazi and the vast majority of Bernie voters ended up voting for Hillary...you stay trying to rile Dems up unnecessarily by doing essentially the same shyt you're complaining about.

Meanwhile Justice Kennedy...

if you lean left it's on the things where libertarians and the left agree, like weed. to lean left you actually have to lean left.

sounds like "purity politics" to me. the irony of Nap-hoeleon dapping this post has me on the fukking floor

Back to the main point, this ruling has nothing to do with the validity of pensions.

The NFLPA and NBAPA both have pensions that are doing just fine.

fair enough. i'll see you at Versailles :jaymelo:

Because unions provide a multitude of benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401k, pension, and most union members make ~10-12% more than their non-unionized counterparts. At my (unionized) job, we make $4-6 more an hour than other local, non-unionized jobs doing the same thing.

If you're going to come into a unionized workplace, it's sort of rational that you pay union dues because otherwise you're getting a massive handout without paying to fund the system that got you those benefits, making it unsustainable. If a public worker doesn't want to partake in a union, then they shouldn't be able to draw on the massive benefits provided by unions.

Edit: Just going to post this here because I continually see people complaining in this thread that "my union doesn't benefit me at all" and, to be honest, a lot of it is a load of horseshyt. I recently saw a table that compared the earnings and benefits of local employers compared: the best comparable job to my unionized job was $4 an hour less; the best comparable health plan was puny and pathetic and I don't believe it included visual or dental. There was no program to help pay for and encourage associates to go to college. No other place offered a 401k or pension. If most of these complaining unionized people compared their earnings to non-unionized employees, it'd be an eye-opening experience. No one else got paid OT for working over 8 hours. And that doesn't even get into benefits like paid vacation time.

It's easy to say that unions don't benefit you, but then you realize that you're making a bit over $20 an hour instead of around $15 for the same job, after taking much longer to reach maxed pay.

Gov't unions have no business existing. JFK screwed up there and even FDR was against it.
