docky.....when you show that you only buy Union made, American made products...and vote for Union supporting politicians....then, and only then can you express your pretend outrage..... by the way docky...my shoes are US made New Balance...my t-shirt is US and Union made...you can find them on-line, my car is a Grand Marquis...Union made in Canada...because Ford does not make them here to avoid domestic EPA standards....my Pick-up is a Kansas City manufactured Union made FORD!.......by the way docky....did you know most imports are part of a verticle supply, not horizontal???? I am sure my Ford has imported components....because those goBPer cocksucker friends of yours have exported those jobs.....docky ..why do your goBPer cocksucker friends block domestic content laws? docky you are in the hands of your enemy and you are too numb to realize it. pitiful as usual.

give it a break Farley holier than thou doesn't fit you well--thou i have noticed you have learned a new word Posted Image We have 6.9% union membership in the private sector--what is the likely hood of you supporting only union made US products? Wake up Farley--the new left you support so much has killed the union movement in this country--time for you to switch to a party who supports a jobs agenda Posted Image not a job killing agenda

thanks eggy....for restating the goBP talking points that have ZERO validity..........next you will say "we cannot raise taxes on the job creators" or similar horseshit....right eggy? Love the way you spin (lie) about the demise of Union membership..........by the way how are those "pro-Union" goBPer senators from South Carolina (Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint) doing for the workforce at Boeing's run-away facility?? eggy....you are a clown....a not very funny clown...but a clown nevertheless.....your contorted silliness irritates more than it amuses.

Ya see Farley you don't listen--or that ideological crap you spew just doesn't allow you to think straight--There is no need to raise taxes on Job creators--all you have to do is raise revenue--

Now as for the "spin" on the demise of union membership--No spin Farley-I think historians have pretty much agreed "equalism" "multiculturalism" and "environmentalism" were not in the best interest of unionism and the "working man"-

As for Boeing--a great case Farley of waging an ideological war to accomplish via regulation what you cannot via legislation it is what is wrong with your thought process--You should be appalled at this ruling-- The NLRB’s fight comes amid a political debate about unions and the threat from anti-union or so-called “right to work” states. If it turns out a union can block a business decision even when there’s no harm to its members, that could easily deter needed manufacturing investment in America, whether by homegrown or foreign-owned companies.--and unionism loses because it will become more unpopular

Boeing has remained steadfast in maintaining a large manufacturing presence in America--It is America’s biggest exporter of manufactured products and has a staggering $162 billion dollars of planes on order based on a plane three years behind schedule and critical to Boeing’s future--and the NRLB rules retaliation against the union,--and you wonder why America is turning against unions in large numbers--idiots

and Farley--those folks in North Charleston were union employees--but they decertified--why?

Industrial democracy? It is what we call Mitbestimmung-- I have worked with many companies in Europe that operate under Mitbestimmung but union leadership in this country are not yet ready for this model--It would require way to much cooperation with management for the good of the corporation--So unfortunately we have to work with the system we have farley--In fact the Japanese brought a form of this model with great fan fare to this country called "teamworking"--

Those companies who operate Mitbestimmung think the NRLB have lost their mind over the latest ruling--Boeing has no problem moving a facility to Mexico but can't move to South Carolina--put on your big boy pants Farley and lets have an adult conversation about how to have Industrial democracy--

as for "should working people have NO rights?????" c'mon farley thats a childish response--who is being harmed in the the newest ruling by the NLRB--The workers in South Carolina--where is the fake outrage for the rights of the working man in South Carolina

A trusted, Teamster leader, told me once, your "Bill of Rights"...ends at your work place door! That's why, it's so important to Unionize your work place. You'll then have a contract, working agreement, with your employer. If you work, in a non-Union work place, call, or go by, the closest, Teamster's, local's office! It will be one of the best, things you could do for yourself, family, and co-workers!

maybe you should quit inhaling .. i'm an independent.. but for some reason you can't get that through your head ..but i'm amazed how a gop congress blocked a provision when their wasn't a gop congress in the first place ... the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed by a democrat congress and senate and signed by barack obama... your blame game for democrat failures is getting old
