P. 359
A Patriot’s view of the history and direction of our Country
political efforts. For these reasons, over the years unions have
pushed that these be covered by the employer, at little or no cost to
the employee and no cost to the unions. Organized labor was not
enough – now its organized sports. I submit that there are two
reasons unions are scapegoats of campaigns, politics and rhetoric:
1) Continues the divisiveness needed to feed the disparity of
socioeconomic classes; and 2) Vote pandering.
Then there are professional team sports – every sport has
players represented by unions. Seriously?! How is a professional
sport subjected to the issues that ‘organized labor’ was born from –
wages, hours, conditions and benefits? Even the referee officials are
unionized.
