Noticed persons whom lost their bargaining rights are waking up. It's starting to sink in with the Joe Six-Pack crowd. They love to vote against their best interest,then piss and moan about their rights going down the toilet. Man,I have seen this garbage so many times,when their families begin hurting,then the eyes start to open.

Spent most of my life as a Union organizer,thought I had heard every ridiculous reason not to better your family until I retired to the South West. These Right to Work states are bruttel to their Union members. Sad to say,80% of these folks continually vote for GOP candidates,and these same politicians screw them every way possible.

When they see their pensions and benefits start going away next year,I hope the sheep start to wake up.
