(3,919 posts)I understand the harm someone crossing a picket line does to the workers striking. However, that is no way whatsoever gives anyone the right to cause physical harm to that person or to their property.
To be honest, I don't really have much personal experience regarding unions. I am in a right-to-work state, so they are not very prevalent. The only time I had a job where there was a union, it was voluntary to join. I did join and paid my dues. I wasn't particularly happy about the outcome of the bargaining agreements and other issues that came up - but I really don't know how much power the union actually had due to the right-to-work issue in the state.
Pro-violence is never a good position - and being unwilling to support that doesn't make you a teabagger or any other type of bad guy in my book.
