Ok, chalk this one up in the category of "they have GOT to be kidding, right?"
The ongoing Union vs Non-Union battle is fun to watch, but THIS video was posted as part of a Union campaign to defeat a move in the Indianapolis legislature to allow employees to chose whether they want to support a union or not.... It's basically an argument with no reasonable defense, but the Unions and their "spokespeople" (read lobbyists) chose to strike as many nerves as they could to distract from the real question.
Take a look at this little gem - it's a great example of how a special interest can distract you from the truth to keep get you to vote for their plan, no matter what the facts may say.
Now if you are done crying for poor little Maggie, let's consider the facts the Unions left out... yep, Maggie's got a fair chance of making less than her peers in non-right to work states, but those states have cost of living factors WAY higher than Indiana. They also left out the bit about Right To Work States having much higher job growth, higher median incomes and let's not forget the ever popular right not to pay dues to a union that is funneling your dues to political campaigns without your consent!
I'm not out to bash Unions here, but I just HAD to call them out on this blatant line of B.S.
YOUR MISSION:
No matter the topic of debate, get beyond the hype and drama to get to the facts and make your decision based on the facts alone!
